A Catholic man chooses whether to marry and live as a husband and father of a family, or whether to enter the priesthood. If he chooses to enter the priesthood, he takes a vow of celibacy, that is to remain unmarried. If a Catholic priest and his bishop agree that entering the celibate priesthood was a mistake on his part, the priest may be laicized and released from his vows, that is, he is no longer a member of the Catholic hierarchy but a layman, and free to marry. A fair number of (former) priests did this during the 1960s and 1970s - left the priesthood and married.

The priesthood of all believers also offers sacrifice, as St. Paul says, we offer our body as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God, your spiritual worship. An entire article explaining this is given in the link below. We are called to consecrate our whole lives, whatever we do, whatever we eat, etc. all for the glory of God.
