Enlightenment after super bowl

What are some insights you gained from 1 Corinthians concerning sex, marriage, and being single? I learned that the body isn't meant for sexual immorality but for the lord. You need to flee from sexual immortality. You're body is the temple of Christ. Don't pervert it. We aren't our selves, Christ bought us with a price, his own life, we should therefore honor christ with our bodies. 
Marriage- 1 cor 7:4 the wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. 
And the same thing goes for the husband. It's good to stay unmarried but if you can't control yourself it is best to marry so that you don't stumble and lust for others affection. 
Divorce- 1 cor 7:10 a wife must not separate from her husband. And verse 11 a husband must not divorce his wife. 
Virgins- good to stay as you are. If married don't seek divorce. If unmarried don't look for wife. But if you marry it is not a sin. But marriage will bring many hardships. 
Single life- unmarried man is concerned about the lords affairs while a married man is concerned about his wife. 
An example of this is that when I was about five my dad traveled to India for a missions trip not knowing if he would come back or not but he still followed Gods calling. The point being that you need to be devoting your life towers Christ. That is your number one priority. 
Does this have any application in Americas cultural constructions of dating, engagement, or any other relationship statuses? 
Well dating shouldn't be just to date Someone. It should be to find someone you could spend the rest of your life with. Someone who will help and not hurt your walk with God. Dating is finding the right person to give your heart to. We should take away that our first priority is to give our selves to God. And to wait and determine wether giving our selves to someone is a benefit for God's kingdom or nah
