IS MARRIAGE APPROVED?

Matthew 19:5  And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? (KJV) I Corinthians 7:2  Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. (KJV) I Corinthians 7:8  I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. (KJV)

To suggest that the 1 Corinthians 7:8 passage is a disapproval of marriage is ridiculous, considering that the next passage says, 'But if they cannot contain (be abstinent), let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.'  (also note that it follows the 1 Corinthians 7:2 passage by a mere six verses)  That passage is saying that it is okay to not marry, but it is better to marry.  The Bible clearly approves of marriage.  Not a contradiction.
