I went to Troy and Anna's wedding today. Troy works in our office here in Denver. It was a beautiful wedding set in a lovely Catholic Church. The Priest who officiated said, they were now in the minority because there are more single people in the world today than married, "not counting himself of course." Everyone laughed. He is probably right. There is pressure to loosen the restrictions which prevent Priests from marrying. But the world is changing, although it's changing for the wrong reasons.
I also believe it was right for Luther to marry, expressly to "proclaim and establish temporality and earthly life as pleasing to God in contrast to fantastic abstraction," but in these times it might be beneficial for a person to refrain from marrying, expressly in order to declare that spirituality still has so much reality that it can be enough, more than enough, for a life.
