Is it possible that the aorist participle GAMHSAS in 1 Cor 7:33 could carry the sense of 'recently married' rather than simply 'married' in contrast to the perfect GEGAMHKOSIN in verse 10? Since the context of verse 33 is the question of whether or not to get married, I'm wondering if Paul is drawing the distinction of being concerned about "the things of the Lord" and being concerned about "the things of the world" not as a general difference between unmarried people and married people but between unmarried people and newlyweds, perhaps echoing the thought (though not the wording) of Deut. 24:5.
