Scripture is also very clear about unmarried MEN being better fit to serve God.

Then why did Christ pick mostly married men to be his apostles?

We know one apostle was married at one time because he had a mother in law - no mention of his wife, though. No mention of wives of the other apostles. But we do know that they followed him and left everything.

There is no documentation in the four gospels that any apostles were married when Jesus Christ chose them. The only apostle that all can agree was married at one time is Peter and his wife probably predeceased him. You know that,we have been through this before and you have been unable to come up with anything to back up your fantasy.
