To: Salvation
He did not choose to marry, and there is clear evidence that he also asked his apostles to live celibacy in order to follow him.

Jesus healed Peter's MOTHER-IN-LAW.

Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have? And Jesus said to them: Amen, I say to you, that you, who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name' s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting. (Matthew 19:27-29)

No question, Peter had been married prior to uttering the above words. No one asserted otherwise. The article is about people receiving the gift of celibacy; some of them are married and others are not.

It is generally a good idea to read the article you are making comments about.

Which means Peter was ALREADY married when he took up with Jesus. Do you expect him to divorce? I have had 7 year olds that understand the logic of this.
