On marriage, King James I gave sound advice:
πMarry a godly & virteous wife
πKeep your body clean & unpolluted; only give your body to your wife
πAbstain from fornication. Do not be a fornicator, which shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.

King James I quoted 1 Corinthians 6:9 & Revelation 22:15 in his marriage advice
"But the principal blefsing that yee can get of good companie will ftande [stand], in your Marying of a godlie and verteous Wife: ...
By your preparation (I mean) that ye must keepe your bodie cleane and unpolluted, while ye give it to your Wife whometo onlie it beelongeth:...heare God commanding by the mouth of PAVL to abfteine from from fornication, declaring that the fornicator fhall not inherit the kingdom of heaven; and by the mouth of IOHN reckoning out fornication among other greeuous [grieveous] fins [sins] that debarres the committars among Dogges & Swine, from entrie in that Spirituall and heauenlie Ierufalem:" (Baskilion Doron, The Second Booke, Page 87-89) [on Pages 137-139/276]
