Does it not make sense that an unmarried man is less expensive,if they were married they would need to be paid more to care for their family.....follow the money.
I think I read that in earlier Roman Catholic history they had married priests. And the priest in a poor area might have a dozen children and the poor parishioners would be burdened with supporting them. So, they changed to celibate priests.
But Paul says to ordain family men who have been proven in their own home first > 1 Timothy 3:1-10. To me, this means a man who has learned how to support himself and live as a family man; he would know how to care for God's people in a family way, not in a distant and authoritarian way, but by feeding his good example >
"nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock." (1 Peter 5:3)
I see how before he is ordained, he and his wife would mature in how to relate in their marriage and care for their family; and as they mature in this, their cup runs over to help other married people, showing that he and his wife can help other people in real life. Being ordained, then, could mainly mean he is recognized as a person who represents Christianity. His example would minister; he would not be spending a lot of time in personal counseling and trying to control things, but people can learn from his example and simply listen to whatever he says during a sermon and do what he says. And he would be working, like anyone else.
By the way . . . Paul a celibate worked enough to support those who were with him . . . Acts 20:32-35 < Paul did all his ministering while also working enough to support others who were with him. I see how in God's grace Paul was strong enough and led in detail by God so he could fit it all together. God could creatively guide Paul so Paul did work and prayer and ministering, without burning out > "you will find rest for your souls" > in Matthew 11:28-30.
In all that Paul went through and was doing, Paul had time for being with God in prayer time; because Paul was obeying how God took care of him in grace. But ones do not obey how our Father would take care of us; and so we, in trying to control and manage our own selves, just can't do it.
Colossians 3:15
But if someone is not mature in grace and its example . . . well, I would say we all need to deal with however we our own selves are lacking in this, instead of only pointing at how some group of people we don't even know might be wrong.
I can see how a number of pastors now are very involved in politics, meetings, building management, and other items not actually involved in caring for God's people. A number can be administrators, and not really pastors. Ones have been taught a lot of seminary theory about people; it can be hard to practically counsel people to fit with their humanly taught ideas, worthy just tell people they are ok the way they are, or that their deep problems have nothing to do with sin and therefore God is not concerned with correcting their personality troubles. And certain ones might have to work pretty hard to get together a message. And it can be a major disruption of their schedule to have a midweek service with Bible study and prayer. But they can be well trained in pointing out how others are mistaken.
