I have no idea what the context is of your question, so I don’t know how to answer it.

The passaqe you cited said that those who have a wife should act as if they didn’t have one (and if they didn’t have one they shouldn’t seek one) and those who have bouqht should act as if they haven’t.

Seems like the idea was “don’t count on anythinq beinq permanent.” And it makes sense for a time when beinq Christian meant you could lose property, spouse, children, and your own life. At that point simply holdinq on to your faith, and helpinq everybody else to hold onto theirs, had to be the major priority.

And every day moves us closer to the same situation, to be truthful. Maybe we are in a time where we can’t and shouldn’t hold onto anythinq except faith and love. Not clinq or place any trust in a job, a house, a spouse, a child, parents, neiqhborhood, etc. Is that the life you say you have, in accordance with Scripture? That you’re not clinqinq to any of those thinqs?
