One practical consideration is the difficulty in supporting a family life, as priests typically work 60-80 hours a week or more.

Feh. I did that holding a series of crappy jobs to support a wife and two young children. Everything worked out okay.

A midwestern German Catholic priest marrying a youngish midwestern Irish woman can be good for twelve children. Even if the money is there, the children deserve more attention than a man with a priestly calling can give. Regarding marriage in general, I sometimes like to point out that "No man can serve two masters."
