This changes nothing! i have more respect for Jesus if he could do what he did and be married! If he was married to Mary Magdaline, a widow, with a dubious past, he saved her from a life of sin. That’s something I can believe he would do. After his resurrection it was she at the empty tomb. But, there is nothing that would change a thing in his teachings, and maybe something that might explain some of the things he said. He needed to experience all of what it is to be human—that could include marriage.

Maybe I’m a layman, and just read what is written, but isn’t the church supposed to be a like a bride, for Christ? Why wouldn’t He then refer to the church as “my wife, the church”?

/simplest explanation is usually the one that is right
