Then again, not copulating with every attractive female that crosses his line of sight goes against the natural inclinations of man. Not wreaking vengeance, eating oneself sick and stealing shiny objects also goes against the tendencies of mankind. Obviously marital acts within a marriage are not sinful, unlike the above-mentioned activities, but Jesus was of course celibate Himself, which certainly counts for something.

An argument from silence at best.

Personally I doubt He ever was married, but the Bible simply does not address the issue.
