In the Roman Catholic Church, celibacy is optional only for deacons and laypeople. Celibacy is mandatory for any position higher than deacon. You cannot marry a vicar. Deacons can be married before being ordained as a deacon, and can keep their wives afterwards, but if a single man is ordained as a deacon, he cannot be married later. Thus, you can only marry laypeople, and the only position that your spouse can obtain without getting a divorce is a deacon. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, a married man can become a deacon or priest, but if he is ordained as a deacon or priest while unmarried, he cannot get married later. Celibacy is required for any position higher than priest. In most Protestant denominations, any member of the clergy can be married.
