1 Corinthians 7:33-34
7:33 But a married man is concerned about the things of the world, how to please his wife,
7:34 and he is divided. An unmarried woman
or a virgin
is concerned about the things of the Lord, to be holy both in body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world, how to please her husband.
Luke 8:14

as they go on their way they are choked
by the worries and riches and pleasures of life,
and their fruit does not mature.
Luke 10:40-42
10:40 But Martha was distracted
with all the preparations she had to make,
so
she came up to him and said, “Lord, don’t you care
that my sister has left me to do all the work
alone? Tell
her to help me.”
10:41 But the Lord
answered her,
“Martha, Martha,
you are worried and troubled
about many things,
10:42 but one thing
is needed. Mary has chosen the best
part; it will not be taken away from her.”
Luke 21:34
