His allowance of this may be merely because He cannot interfere with the free will of others. Many have rendered themselves unfit for marriage, that is not His doing.
There is not a single person in the martyrology who was single. Saints were either married, consecrated virgins, religious, or clergy. It seems to me that no one can fully mature and develop in the single life. Women who are single are usually emotionally unbalanced and have weird ideas. Men usually end up being perpetually immature.
Many martyrs had children and were married in the time of the early Church. St. Perpetua for example had a baby, so did St. Felicity, and they were both martyred, letting go of their children and commending them to God.
Boomer Fathers have made their daughters impossible to deal with.
This means the women dont get married or if they do, their marriages are shameful in the way they dominate their husbands.
Nothing holy can come from a bossy wife.
