    Of coarse he was married. Ever heard of Mary Magdalene? He was a thirty year old man living with a bunch of conservative jews. for him not to get married would have been considered blasphemy. it was only later that the churched changed the story in order to try and make jesus appear to be the pure, holy untainted messiah. On september 14 591, pope Greagory the Great first made out Mary to be a prostitue. this story evolved after this until it became what many christians now see as absolute fact. But the real fact is that he was married.

    There is every likelihood that Jesus was married. He was a rabbi (a teacher) and rabbis were expected to be married. An unmarried man in his 30s would have been treated with great suspicion and would not have had the followers that Jesus seemed to have. Some of the gospels that were not included in the Bible had Jesus married to Mary Magdalene.

    Jesus Christ was not married. He had more important things he had to do than to think about marriage. Jesus Christ had to preach, teach, heal and cure people, and give his life for us that we may be able to gain everlasting life.

    “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life."-John 3:16

    Jesus Christ had so much to do when he was on earth. He would not have had the time to have a wife. And his life was always in danger. It could have been a challenge if he had a wife and she came along with him on his journeys to preaching and teaching about Jehovah God kingdom.

    And when a couple got married in those days, they had children. People were looked down upon when they did not have a family. Jesus Christ did not have time for that nor was he thinking about that. The Scriptures show that Jesus Christ did not have a wife.

    Jesus was not married when he walked this earth, However in accordance with the Bible message, as God almighty, when he resurrects all true believers, virgins,as bribes to heaven on the last day , he will become their husband, married forever to his own..

    No, God's only purpose as the man Jesus was to die for our sins, be our friend and to be God's servant.

    "I and my Father are ONE."

    --Jesus Christ, John 10:30

    "...CHRIST JESUS...being in the FORM OF GOD, thought it not robbery to be EQUAL WITH GOD: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."

    --Philippians 2:5-8

    Christians are the bride of Christ.

    probably......he grew up as an ordinary man,......and there is no scripture saying he was single...

    if he was a man like others...then he had natural desires as other men.

    its the catholics who want to make him celebate..and make Mary a virgin long after jesus was born.

    they were humans too,....

    Jesus Christ never married, and remained a virgin for his entire life on earth. Jesus now lives in heaven, where he lived for milleniums before coming to earth,
