The Husband of one wife could mean a one woman man.
Also if a man's wife fell into adultery ,he being the innocent party could remarry only in The Lord , I wouldn't feel such a one would be excluded from the office of Bishop or the eldership.

I've heard that it meant a one woman man before.
As far as remarriage after a divorce, that varies from church to church and from district to district. Often it is based on "who you know", not principle.
The Jews had a very liberal policy on who could divorce and then remarry based on Deut 24:1-2 which was pretty loosely interpreted in the first century (and maybe even in the church) as:
1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some unbecoming thing in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. 2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.

But we know that Jesus didn't teach it that way. He said that unless the divorce was for the cause of fornication (which may not be the same thing as adultery) anyone who marries someone else after getting divorced is committing adultery and anyone who marries a divorced person causes that person to commit adultery.
Well a deacon was an important office in The NT. church ,but it wasn't the same role as a Bishop though was it ?

What did Paul mean when He said he did not allow a woman to ursurp a man ?
Perhaps someone has some insight on that verse.
