This chapter is intended to be taken in the context of 1 Corinthians 6:12 (KJV)
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. and the issue of addictions, especially sexual sin.
Marriage, the main subject of 1 Corinthians 7, is a gift from God meant to bring the sexual passion of corrupted man into submission. We may marry to prevent our person from being brought under the power of this passion.
Marriage is an agreement to bring passion under the power of another, so we are not under the power of passion. None of this will work unless we are first under the power of the Lord.
The way to be free from those that would dominate us is to be dominated by the Lord.
The way to have liberty in the spirit is to be surrendered to the Holy Spirit.
