You mean Peter, Cephas [the Rock], right? Yup. He was married and his wife prepared them a meal, I think.
Peace be with you.

According to the apostle Paul, Peter had a wife ("Cephas" is the translation into Aramaic of "Peter"):
1 Corinthians 9:5 (NIV)
Don't we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord's brothers and Cephas?

Yes. Simon = Peter.
“Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying down sick with a fever, and they at once told him about her.” (Mark 1:30)
“After getting up out of the synagogue he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was distressed with a high fever, and they made request of him for her.” (Luke 4:38)

yes -
Mark 1:30
Luke 4:38
These verses reference Peter's (Simon's) Mother-in-law. This is an implication of marriage. No wife is ever mentioned, so maybe she was dead, who knows.

I don't believe the Bible mentions anything about any of the apostles being married. It is probably safe to assume that some were, but I have never read or heard anything about it.
