Dearest reader,
In spite of your disrespectful words concerning my Lord and Saviour, I chose to say Christ did not marry here on earth. His ministry was only three years...and he did not have time to have obligations to a family, or leave them unattended, as he died around his 33rd year.
Christ's bride is the Church (Revelation) and someday he will return to take his bride (us, as part of that church) to himself.
We really are accountable for every word that's spoken, as I tell my children, and in matters of God and Christ, you may want to reconsider how you speak of that subject.
God bless in you questioning and search
Please look at First John and ask God's spirit to help you understand...our Heavenly Father is a Father we can trust!

Those are two different subjects. The first is, God wanted us to procreate and populate the earth, that is why we have sex organs, the act of sex, and families. The second is, Jesus did come to earth to show us how to live...he modeled love to everyone he met. He did not have sex or a family because he came to earth with a greater purpose and could not be distracted from it. Family men are respectable, but as Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 7:32-38, a man who decides to deny himself and serve God is even better.

Christ wanted his creations (us) to be happy, and so he gave us the glorious functions of sex, and, being brilliant as well, it's intentioned for reproduction, as well. However, God also said the it is good for a man not to marry. (So that man can focus on God and God alone, without the distraction of spouse and kids) But if that man can't control himself (can't abstain from sexual immorality) then God says it's better that he get married. So, Jesus, though in perfect human form did come to earth, he spent all his time dwelling on God the Father. Sex, spouse, kids would have been a distraction and a deviation from the plan Christ had for His only son. THAT is why he did not marry.
See 1 Corinthians 7:1-3 "1Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry.[a] 2But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. 3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband."
P.S. Why do you say IF? Don't you realize he already came to earth once?

Had Jesus been nothing more than man, I think he would have had sex, and a family. However, he was both man and god, therefore, he had already experienced sex from afar, as it were. Since he had already experienced it one sense, He didn't need to experience it in the flesh. But Jesus came from his family on earth, and loved them dearly, so one can't say that He didn't believe that men are respectable and family men. He knew full well that men and women are both responsible for families.

purely interior the minds of those who trust. If I declare that unicorns are genuine. people might want to call for evidence. If I declare that there's a civilization on the moon of Sirius III. people might want to call for evidence. If I declare that Odin is the authentic God-Father. people might want to call for evidence. yet after I ask Christians for evidence of their God i'm getting crud like: because sunsets are particularly. because existence is too complicated. because in the different case there might want to be no morals. How does this not stick with to Odin then? till some non secular chief produces credible evidence that their version of a deity is ideal the purely sensible element to do is to anticipate that no deity exists. only an analogous as we do for unicorns, Santa, mermaids, extraterrestrial beings, pixies, Zeus, leprechauns, Odin and all the different mythological creatures that guy has created over the a even as.

It is entirely possible that Jesus married and had a family during his lifetime. There are two entire decades of his life not accounted for in the bible, from the ages of 12 to 32. What do people normally do during those two decades? Not every detail of Jesus' life, nor every word he uttered was recorded for posterity. We may never know, but it is definitely possible. I don't know why the idea of His marrying or procreating is so threatening to so many people. I can't imagine how it could make Him any less holy???

I think he was killed before He got the change but I have also read that he has a wife called Mary also, and she was with him when he was crusified. I do not mean to offend anyone its just something I read. The actual truth is no one know possitivly the real truth. But your question is logical, if Jesus was to show man kind and set an example I would think he would get married, have kids and even work.

He did come to show us how to live. And he din't have sex or have a family in a biological sense. This shows how much the christians have been following the examples from the son of god.

It was not a part of God's plan for Jesus to have a family. He knew that and stayed celibate. He had brothers and probably sisters, so he probably had nephews and neices. God gave us our sexuality to be fruitful and multiply. But Jesus was different. He was not to multiply physically, but spiritually. He now indwells every believer.
