Here's a hint:

1 Corinthians 11

11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

[Aquinasfan]

You can pick and choose individual Bible verses to support your argument, or you can look at all the passages regarding a particular topic, and then make sense of all of them.

For example, there are two verses that contradict the idea that celibacy is intrinsically evil:

Matthew 19:12

"For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."

1 Corinthians 7:8-9

Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

The cultural upheaval of the 1960's along with many men who did not want to go to Vietnam going into the preisthood as a way to avoid the war. Also a acceptance of gays into the preist hood as long as they said they would be celebrate. Big mistake.

It's even sooner....


"It's not GOOD for man to be alone."

[newzjunkey]

Does your wife wear a veil as called to throughout same chapter?

Let's look in context:

11 In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, 
   nor is man independent of woman. 

12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman.
   But everything comes from God. 

13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to
   God with her head uncovered? 

14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a
   man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 

15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For
   long hair is given to her as a covering. 

16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no
   other practice—nor do the churches of God.
