Is the principle advocated in 2-3 of marriage being a lifelong obligation generally accepted today?

In your own words, describe Paul's past experience with the flesh and how you can relate to his experience. 7:7-13

Does the law provoke us to sin?
Have you seen this effect in children?

In your own words, describe Paul's present dual nature and how we struggle with this dual nature also.

What is the difference between serving in the old way of the written code and the new way of the Spirit?
Are we still slaves to sin in our on mind?
