First of all that is a denomination choice. I know many pastors of other denominations that are married.. . But specifically the bible verses that support this non-marriage thinking come from 1 Corinthians chapter 7. . Here is just one verse about it:. . 32I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— 34and his interests are divided.
