Nope. The message of the gospel is entirely separate from marriage. Christ used marriage as a reference on numerous occasions and preached on the sanctity of marriage, so it is not a faith-breaking event.
I do not believe that He was married but were He to have been, it would not move my faith in Him one iota. Any that would have issue with it should address the substance on which their faith was built.

Others may not have a faith which is as apparently strong and settled faith as yours.

Very well said and I completely agree. I would also add that if Jesus was married, that would be the truth. Any faith that collapsed upon hearing the truth would therefore have been faith based upon a lie. Thus, while perhaps such a revelation should be done gently, it nevertheless should be done - by definition. Otherwise those "protecting the faith" are in fact hiding the truth that Jesus lived with His own life. And Jesus addressed such people when He said "I know you not."
why would God marry?
