When Paul says that church leaders should be married only once, he is prohibiting both polygamy and promiscuity. This does not prohibit an unmarried man from becoming a leader or a widowed leader from remarrying. The main idea that Paul was focusing on here was that a leader must be pure in conduct, disiplined in habits, balanced in outlook, and free from those sins that mark the socity, and the age in which he lives.
