was Paul the husband of one wife? Well, the Bible doesn't explicitly say he wasn't so we can just work on the presumption that he was until someone comes along and disproves it.

LOL, the Scriptures don’t explicitly say Mary wasn’t assumed into heaven once she dies, so we can work on the presumption she was until someone comes along and disproves it.
right?

Actually there are many who would argue that a thorough study of Acts 26:10 and Phil 3:5-6 would indicate that Paul was a member of the Sanhedrin and therefore likely was married and then widowed. A member of the Sanhedrin was required to be married. In Galatians 1 Paul indicates that he indeed had advanced in Judaism.
Galatians 1:14 And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.
