I have always interpreted that Scripture in Matthew 199, which says
"made themselves eunuch's for the kingdom of heaven's sake."  to mean
that this "eunuch" does not marry in order to advance the kingdom of
heaven.  Maybe by "this teaching" Jesus was refering either to the
previous "two shall be one flesh" or the teaching on eunuch's.

Do you think that Paul is an example of a eunuch for the kingdom of
heaven's sake?  Do you think that perhaps he did not marry because he
could not make the commitment?
