That is just a Catholic ritual. They are human but they are supposed to devote their whole lives to God and his teachings. This is why they don't allow marriage. They don't want a relationship to get in the way of his work. We all see that this is a bad idea.

Eastern Orthodox priests can marry.
Anglican priests can marry.
For some reason the Roman Catholic church normally does not permit married priests (though there are a few exceptions; some men who are married are permitted to become priests).
You do make a good point for marriage rather than celibacy for priests.
But then you make a broad and misleading statement "no 1 can stay without marriage" ... that is an insult to those who, for whatever reasons, are single and celibate.

From what I know only Catholic priests cannot get married. The priests from the other churches can marry. It is advantageous for a priest to be married because it fits God's plan to give him a helpmate to help him in his ministry. Some priests are called and empowered by God to stay single in their ministry. If this is a definite call on them God gives them the grace not to fall into sexual temptation. If God calls us to do anything for Him He gives us victory in that situation.

The church is their bride/groom. They are dedicated to their calling. Humans can say no to sex because they are humans, not rabbits or hamsters. Free will, will power.
Don't take a headline and run with it. There are plenty of good priests out their true to their vows. Never forget that, no matter what you hear. For every bad case, there are five hundred good cases.

Only the catholic practice that;
The christian Bible states:
1 Timothy 4:1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1 Timothy 4:2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1 Timothy 4:3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1 Timothy 4:4For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1 Timothy 4:5For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
1 Timothy 4:6If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
Hope this helps
Peace

it is the role on priesthood that they arte not suppose to get married, however priest are having and enjoying sex life with some women. many have sons and daughter but remain secret to their congregation because the pope will separate them from priest hood if it will come to his knowledge about their haveing sexual contact with somebody else. do not believe that they have never been enjoyed sex life because they are also human baeings like us, ok?

It actually depends on the particular christian religion. Catholic clergy are celibate and unmarried by requirement. Most other christian religions allow marriage. My religion actually believes it essential, though being single doesn't prevent you from going to heaven or men from being ordained to the priesthood. Just that God made men and women to be partners.
