Mark, With all due respect my friend. Christ chose a married man to be the rock.

We don't know that. Scripture is very silent on Peter's wife's status, her life or even her name. One tradition has her dead before Jesus called Peter, making him a widower. His mother in law was living in Peter's house; that's the most that we can rely on.

God bless you Mark. Have a great weekend. I respectfully disagree.

In the 1st century Jewish culture it was normal to be married and to have children, in fact, Rabbinical law required that Rabbis be married back then.
