But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;
When Paul says "I will therefore that the younger women marry" because of the pitfalls they will face, he is not commanding marriage. Rather, he is giving guidelines for a fulfilling and satisfactory way of life for younger women. "I will therefore" indicates that this recommendation is a personal one rather than a hard fast rule that obligates a young woman to marry in every case.
