celibacy
Marriage was instituted as a penance for the sins of celibacy.
No man can either live piously or die righteous without a wife. [ Richter ]
Marriage has in it less of beauty, but more of safety, than the single life. [ Jeremy Taylor ]
God has set the type of marriage through creation. Each creature seeks its perfection in another. [ Luther ]
If much reason is necessary to remain in celibacy, still more is required to marry. One must then have reason for two; and often all the reason of the two does not make one reasonable being. [ Balzac ]
