"[Jesus] is the most complete and fully human person who ever lived. So his not being married is not incidental. It shows us that none of these things-marriage, romantic fulfillment, sexual experience-is intrinsic to being a full human being. The moment we say otherwise, the moment we claim a life of celibacy to be dehumanizing, we are implying that Jesus himself is only subhuman."
"If marriage shows us the shape of the gospel, singleness shows us its sufficiency."
