PS: Paul says it's better not to marry.
So eternal life does not hinge on marriage alone.
(provided one is celebate, fornication brings on a host of new and interesting problems.)
How many bachelors do you know who have turned their lives over to the service of others? I can't think of any except some good priests, and they really are married in that they've been faithful to their life-long commitment to Christ and his flock.
