Jewish men at the time of Christ were required to celebrate every Sabbath with sexual intercourse. It is Jewish law.

Peter was a Jew. If his wife was still living, he would have been having regular weekly sexual intercourse with her.

Why do we always forget that Jesus and his disciples were strict Jews who obeyed Levitical laws?

Not if they were priests performing their temple service.

Because it doesn’t fit our template of who we want them to be?

Not after the fulfillment of the Law by Christ.
