Jesus didn't get married because He didn't want to. He fulfilled the O.T. vow of a Nazarite : wholly dedicated to the will of God for His life.
IF you are insinuating that the Bible is unfair to women, then maybe this will make you reconsider :
Women were the first persons to learn of the Resurrection.
Women were the only persons that had the balls not to forsake Jesus while He was being crucified.
Jesus commended the widow who gave her last two mites.
It was a woman who poured the expensive ointment onto Jesus, then He proceeded to establish an eternal memorial of this event by declaring that wheresoever the gospel is preached, that is WHERESOEVER the gospel is preached the preacher MUST ALSO tell what this woman did to Jesus. (Matt.26:13)
The point being is that the woman responded to being saved/forgiven by giving something that was expensive. If you are truly affected by the gospel then the giving of something costly proves it. Yet this memorial established by Christ for what the woman did is almost never preached hand in hand with the gospel.

Re: Why no women priests then ?
By your own admission - you are a Catholic - answer your own question.
By the way, Adam was punished too, he had to work the rest of his life.
Eve's punishment was to have to serve the inferior (Adam/man), this in itself tells us what God thinks of women; they are superior, however, I go about life enforcing God's punishment by not allowing women so called "equal rights". I am a chauvinist and proud of it.

From Genesis Buz.
Eve's punishment was to have to serve the inferior.....the superior serving the inferior....what a brilliant punishment by God. How else would you interpret the passages in question ? (thats rhetorical Buz)
Next issue :
The entire O.T. was but a shadow of the substance of Christ. This is first year seminarian stuff....and no Jesus did not ever cut His hair or His beard as per the "shadows" of Levitical Law.
The Sermon on the Mount has Jesus declaring "...behold I say..." as He changed the Law to a more impossible perfectionist standard of even desiring to do sin. He is the Law Incarnate and the fact that the veil of the Temple was torn upon His death means God judged His life to be perfect in fulfilling every jot and tittle of the Law.

Negative: One of the reasons Judas pointed Him out was because His hair was not cut - thats why He needed to be identified. (not to mention Judas choosing to betray Him)

Mike :
My position comes from the text in Genesis. Adam was a pussy whipped spineless excuse for a man. Satan knew if he got Eve - she would procure Adam.
Once again, I applaud God for the brilliance of the cleverness of His punishment - the superior having to serve the inferior - thats the facts whether you or anyone admit it or not. You ought to shake yourself and get out of this lethargic Biblical interpretation rut.
