Peter was also single. As were ALL the disciples. God saw them fit to be overseers.

Again: Saint Paul in 1 Cor 7:

7 But I wish everyone were single, just as I am. Yet each person has a special gift from God, of one kind or another.

8 So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows—it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am.

If Peter was single, how did he have a mother-in-law? (See Matthew 8:14.)

Um....if Peter was single, then explain in Mark’s Gospel the healing of the mother-in-law of Peter.

Wrong......

Matthew 8:14 And when Jesus entered Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever.

1 Corinthians 9:5 Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

"Peter was also single."

With all due respect Condoleezzdprotege, Matthew 8:14-15 shows that Jesus went to Peter’s house and healed Peter’s sick mother-in-law.
