More than the fact that monks and sisters were separated I think it's evident that chastity wasn't among their votes... was it? Otherwise now there was no way they could reproduce. I always thought that the monks and sisters were just the most powerful benders of the race (such as Pakku, Bumi or the royal family from the Fire Nation) and they stayed constantly on their temples while most of the race were, well, roaming the world honouring their name of nomads. So I imagined couples of married airbenders travelling who, as soon as they have children, took the kids to the proper temple. Once the children completed their bending training they could chose to go the path of monastery or just start roaming the world.

Maybe I thought much into this.
