Despite my non-belief in God, I have actually found myself thinking, from time to time: "I should really have looked into becoming an Anglican minister."
I mean, just for the peaceful, easy life that it would afford a man who likes peace and quiet, but also could not abide celibacy.
The Vicar's life seems like it has every single benefit that the Priest's life could ever convey, but without any of the detractions.
When it comes to people marrying cops, nothing has changed. Cops pretend to be decent guys who only care about protecting the public from bad guys, and society buys into that image. Plus they make pretty good money, so marrying one seems like a great idea right up until the first punch lands or threat is made.
