That was expected, that was the norm.

4 He must manage his own household well, keeping his children submissive and respectful in every way;
Yes precisely. In point of fact St. Paul thoroughly outlines a full job description for service in the clergy:
“This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of bishop, he desireth good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach. Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre, but patient, not a brawler, not covetous. One that ruleth his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity. For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God? Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.”
1 Timothy 3:1-7
So there you have it. It doesn’t get any clearer than this. The full and complete job description for service in the clergy from St. Paul. Why would anyone want to change it?
