Not a christian, but can answer it anyway with a fair shot at it being correct:
Jesus was Jewish, and as such, it was the absolute duty of his father to see that not only did he have a trade, (carpentry) but a wife. We know he had brothers. There may not be records of it, but yes, it was very extremely likely that he was married...... guys, even if they were gay, were married. It was how you lived 2000 years ago in the Middle East, .....even today, most young men are in arranged marriages, and if one is gay, too bad.... gay men are often still killed, so they hide it, and get married. Birth control was non-existant, except for some rather interesting things that usually didn't work, because people didn't understand how conception even occurred. The gospels were not written until 30 years after his death, and several even later. Some never made it into our present bible -- did you know that there was a gospel according to Philip????
And in case you have't done any research, The Di Vinci Code is just fiction...

No, He was not married. The only thing that exists to try and prove that theory is Gnostic Gosples (I believe it was the Gosple of Philip of Mary, I forgot which). It claims that Jesus kissed Mary. However, it was not uncommon in those days for people to greet each other with a kiss on the cheek. The Gnostic Gospel that makes this claim is also incomplete.
Several months ago, the History Channel did some research on this. According to legend, Jesus and Mary Magdalene married and had a daughter, Sara, who later married into the Merovingian dynasty.
If Sara, who was of middle eastern descent, had married into the dynasty, then her ancestors would have had DNA strains matching those middle eastern descent. The History channel took some remains of a Merovingian queen, and compared it so the DNA of several people in middle eastern countries. The DNA strains were not even close.
If you'd like more proof, let me know, I've written a paper on disproving this claim.

No that's just fiction from The Di Vinchi Code and yes Dan Brown the auther clearly states the book is fiction on his website. But if Jesus still had ancesters today and we all figured out who they were I'd feel sorry for them for ether the Cathlic chruch will send assesens to take care of the problem of everyone with a problem would be bugging those people to help them. But I weren't having a problem with Jesus not being a virgin.

No one knows exactly what happened back then. All we know is what was written by his disciplines and even then its obvious that there's a huge gap regarding when he was a boy to when he became a man. Do i believe He was married? i don't think so. But bottom line is that it really doesn't matter one way or the other. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

There is no evidence that he did. Several television companies, such as the BBC and the Discovery Channel, to name a few, produced documentaries on the novel "The Da Vinci Code" (and the novel that it is basd upon) and came to the conclusion that it had no historical basis and was implausible.

As I remember correctly is the Gospel of Judas, which is a apocryphal document, found in 1970, which seems to reveal interesting things. If you would like to take a look, here's the version in english: http://www.tertullian.org/rpearse/manuscripts/gospel_of_judas/#English%20Translation

Married or unmarried, it still does not matter. He's still a great prophet. However, if he was married, that would contradict all the beliefs that the chrisitans have, so of course they are gonna say he wasn't married.

No. He was never married and had no kids. Honestly, that would have made it in the gospels if it were true. He lived a celebrate life and died with no human heirs.
