Augustine of Hippo, on 1Cor 7:34

“And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world, how she may please her husband.”

“This should not be interpreted to mean that a married woman is not meant to be holy in body as well as in soul.”
