We don’t really know about Paul but, considering he was a pharisee, it’s a safe bet to assume that he was married.

On the contrary. Paul was not married. He actually endorsed celibacy for those capable of it: "To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain single as I am. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion" (1 Corinthians 7:8-9).
