there are three vocational states of life: remaining single and celibate, entering consecrated religious life, or getting married.

I think this is a very important point that is underemphasized in our society. Your "vocation" isn't to be a doctor, lawyer, accountant, farmer, pilot, etc. Your "vocation" is to consecrated life, marriage, or singlehood. Whatever else you do with your life is in the service of your vocation.

Yes, very sadly it is underemphasized. Maybe things will start to turn around as families start having more children. (My belief that it will happen.)
