In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer”—1 Corinthians 7:1-5

He speaks of married couples in a practical sense, married couples when both are believers and the couples that are uneven in their beliefs. God’s design is best and here Paul is explaining this concept.
