I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.
Although this chapter talks a lot about marital relationships (which did make me think about my own situation and made me feel pretty ok with where i'm at right now), this verse made me start to think about other things in my life that could divide my devotion to the Lord. I thought about my job, my finances, volleyball, my friends...lots of things that i can see have the potential if not cause me to struggle at times with being fully devoted to God. All of these things at least take parts of the time i have here, and if i am not doing it with full devotion to God or doing it b/c of my devotion to God then it probably is dividing it. So even though I'm not currently married or heading in that direction that does not make me more devoted to God automatically. I need to continually be aware of things that are dividing my attention and love for God.
