The demands of a marriage make it highly unlikely that Jesus was ever married to any woman.
Paul does not attempt to put restraints on us, only to “secure undistracted devotion to the Lord.” 1 Cor 7:28) but he also indicates in this same chapter, verses 32-35, that those who are married find themselves with “divided interests.” The unmarried are concerned about the things of the Lord while the married are concerned with things of the world and how they may please their spouse. Paul clearly says that those marrying are not sinning (cf. God calls immorality sin, so one with a spouse is less likely to be tempted by it, thus finding favor with God by not sinning. This could very well coincide with the position Paul relates to in 1 Corinthians 7 each should have a spouse because of the immorality in the world. The writer of Proverbs says that a man who finds a wife finds a good thing and favor with God. Scripture teaches many things about marriage by a number of God’s representatives. My observations would indicate that if we truly ‘know’ Jesus and understand Him we can come to a confident position on this question. As I reflected on this, it made me acknowledge the confusion that reigns in the realms of religious denominations and how secular viewpoints can sometimes affect church beliefs.

This occurred by way of TV ads, personal conversations and phone calls I had received. Last week I was made more aware of the proposed or accepted position that Jesus was married.
