Nothing in the verses you quote in Corinthians says that Paul didn't once have a wife.
I honestly don't understand why a formerly married Paul or Jesus should be such a big deal among Christians.

Here is a site that suggest that Paul might have been married.
Quote:The cumulative case, therefore, strongly suggests that Paul was a widower. He was once married. But in calling him to Christ, God gave Paul the gift of celibacy (“a genuine gift of freedom from sexual need,” Fee, 287). Paul desires for everyone with this gift to use it as he has for the sake of the kingdom.
One question..
Do you consider this article sufficient "evidence" that Paul was married?

Should I list all the prophets who were unmarried? Being unmarried was not an uncommon thing, especially since marriages were arranged and a dowry paid.

Quote:As a rule, the fathers arranged the match. The girl was consulted, but the "calling of the damsel and inquiring at her mouth" after the conclusion of all negotiations was merely a formality.
In those days a father was more concerned about the marriage of his sons than about the marriage of his daughters. No expense was involved in marrying off a daughter. The father received a dowry for his daughter whereas he had to give a dowry to the prospective father-in-law of his son when marrying him off.
Not to mention Jesus was homeless, how could he have taken care of a wife?

Trolling?
