from
Wikipedia
Both Tertullian and Gregory of Nyssa were church fathers who were married.
They each stressed that the happiness of marriage was ultimately rooted in misery.
They saw marriage as a state of bondage that could only be cured by celibacy.
They wrote that at the very least, the virgin woman could expect release from the " governance of a husband and the chains of children.
" Tertullian argument that second marriage " consists essentially in fornication " is seen to extend to the first and lawful marriage.
