Celibacy

Marriage has many pains, but celibacy has no pleasures.

Catholic priests practice celibacy.

Tom's involuntary celibacy came to an end when he let go of his sense of entitlement.

Lutheran doctrine abolished celibacy and the worship of images.

They came to believe that men, who would live a godly life, must view marriage as a sin and choose a life of celibacy.

I could document this defense of celibacy. Unmarried women show up very well in all the tests of mental health.
