Oh, yeah. None of these twelve men had wives. Peter did have a wife, and although you might like to wish her dead, there is no reason to believe that she was. How DO you reconcile scriptures that give requirements--a man of one wife.....etc. That doesn't mean he HAD to have one wife, but he was surely ALLOWED one wife.

Peter was married at one time. The Apostles gave up everything to follow Christ, Matthew 19:29. Clement of Alexandria, ~150, 220 AD, wrote that Peter's wife (by the way what was her name?) suffered martyrdom.
