Paul said his preference was that Christians remain single so that they could devote themselves to the issue at hand (spreading the gospel and serving the Lord Jesus). How much MORE focused would Christ, Himself, be about his mission? He did not come here to live a carnal life...he came to “seek and to save those who are lost.” He came to die, and He knew that.

True; however, it is not inconsistent with the thought that Jesus was indeed human. (And that is an important point in Christianity, that God became a man in order to save the race of man.)

So, in the long run... it's really irrelevant if he had a wife or not.

For Jesus to take a wife would mean he would love one above all others...

I’m a member of the Bride of Christ...I’m not sharing. :-D
