If a Bishop wants to get married, does he have to stand down from his position?

One more thing, apropos this question, a priest or deacon cannot be married after they receive the holy orders (ordination). They must be married prior to that. Thus, a bishops who decided to get married could not remain in any ordianed capacity in the Church.
