But when women like Peter's mother-in-law (!) are mentioned, I think it is unreasonable to assume that Jesus's wife would not be.
I doubt I will ever understand the fuss over the possibility of the Christ having a wife, and I imagine it will continue to be a major concern for some.
The Gospels have been circulating since the 2nd Century. Though there have surely been edits made to the Gospels over time, through accident and mistake, there is no reference anywhere ever of a version in which Jesus is married. Personally, I find any theory that requires an elaborate, traceless conspiracy to be true to be less than compelling.

It's not so much the idea that Jesus of Nazareth might have had a wife that people object to, I suspect. Instead, the same way that people support this contention--by alleging a (Catholic?) conspiracy to edit the Gospels to further some hidden agenda--can be used to support all sorts of heresies.
There is exactly as much evidence that Jesus was gay, or had several wives, or was an albino or what have you, as there is that he was married at all. But hey, it's a free country--believe what you want.
