The calling of the pastor
The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God’s church? He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.

Does not mean perfection, It is an acknowledgement that we are not perfect but the acknowledgement does not become an excuse.
Husband of One Wife
Husband of One Wife
this is less about marital status and more about your devotion and setting apart of only one woman.
It is an important reminder that you have one bride and the church is not her. You sacrifice yourself for your bride. Not your bride for the church.

who you are and what you do does not just reflect on you, it reflects on the church, it reflects on Christ. Make sure your reflection shows the Character of God.
