Long time ago when I visit a church with a friend with invites me, I witness an event where the carter or priest or whatever he is (because i dunno who he was and i only know that he reads out the bible content to people.) He was praying for his wife who is a star in Singapore and about to head for USA. Aren't priest can't be married? I thought that priest are like the monks in the asia region who cannot marry? Does it means that the priest in the church CAN get married?

It depends on denominations. For example the Catholics priests are not supposed to marry.
Many other christian denominations can-.

Is it possible that the person you speak of is a Cantor? A man who does special reading in the Jewish synagogue? If not, I dont have a clue. Priests in the Catholic church are not allowed to marry but priests in some other churches are allowed. I am not aware of any other restrictions placed on ministers or pastors.

Priests in the Catholic church cannot marry. On occasion, they do allow someone who was married and is still married to become a priest but it is pretty rare.
