Peters wife?

Matthew chapter 8, Jesus heals Peter's Mother-in-law. Peter had a mother-in-law. That means, Peter was married. Married?

I always thought of the disciples as these young bachelors! No, he was married. Dudes didnt usually marry until they were 30-40, and they only lived to 50-60 ..... so Peter was an olderish man. A married man.

Weird.

I always think about Peter's wife when I think of him traipsing about the countryside with Jesus. Did she go along ever? Or was she left behind taking care of their kids? How did she feel about his newfound sense of purpose? I hope she was an incredible woman.
