Actually, many Buddhists, even Lamas' and "masters" do indeed get married and have wives and families.
Something I would note is that in this case, more often than not the wife and kids would all be fully aware of the state of the father and his manner of existing. Also, many monks trained in martials arts to protect those who could not protect themselves, they just didn't leave their "territory" or pursue foes.
I think it would all depend on the situation, obviously.
