I only know of one. Care to list the other married apostles?

One is enough to blow up the theory.

And by the way, it's actually likely that most of them were. We only have a direct reference in the case of Peter. But had they been adult Jewish males in 30 or so AD, they would have been quite UNUSUAL not to have been married.

And we have this implication from Paul [1 Cor 9:5] "Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?"
