Married men can become deacons in the Catholic Church, and I think it would be great to see more men who retire at 65, with 20 or 30 years ahead of them, become active deacons.

Me too. I've often thought about it. But it can put a strain on a marriage. If I become a widower, I'll definitely go for it.

Think about it again. The divorce rate among deacons worldwide is only about 0.5% - you have a much better chance of your marriage lasting if you become a deacon!!!
