I read once, on the Web I believe, a verse from St. Paul, about how you cannot get warmth in bed alone. Does anyone know that verse? I would like to study it further.

I bet you mean Eccles.4:11? "Again, if 2 lie together,then they have heat; how can one be warm alone?"

It is NOT from Paul.
-------------------------
Ecclesiastes 4 (NIV)
7 Again I saw something meaningless under the sun:
8 There was a man all alone;
he had neither son nor brother.
There was no end to his toil,
yet his eyes were not content with his wealth.
"For whom am I toiling," he asked,
"and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?"
This too is meaningless—
a miserable business!
9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:
10 If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

I believe the verse is in the Old Testament, written by Solomon, under the inspiration of God:
"Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?" - Ecclesiastes 4:11.

He advocated young persons to marry in 1Timothy 3:2
A man should be a husband of one wife.
1 corinthians 7:2 says that because of the prevalence of fornication they needed to be married.
I am trying to think of the scripture where it says If two people lay down together they keep each other warm and a three fold cord cannot quickly be torn in to. Meaning to have God in the relationship.

It simply means that on a cold night with no heat available, two bodies cuddled together can keep each other from freezing. Common sense.

I don't think this was Paul. There may be something in Song of Solomon.

If you claim Jesus as your savior, why then do you follow the teachings of Paul ?
