I think it could be completely plausable, as one of the other people that answered said there is a lot of missing scriptures and I'd also like to add that the ammount the bible for one was written by human beings and also has been translated it could have sounded completely different, people miss out the stuff they dont like and add more of the stuff they do like, so if they didnt like that Mary M was Jesus's wife they could have completed missed out whole chapters, I've always thought there is something missing from the bible, I've had quite a bit of experiences of various aspects of christianity, I went to a catholic first school, I went to salvation army sunday school and when I was young my parents went to a church of england church, and each one of them I find flawed, I also find the way most the people take the lessons they learn from it into there lives rather odd as all the love thy neighbour parts go out the window, to me what I think it means is to be kind to all people I meet as much as I can, but other people seem to take it as be kind to people who are very close to you and have false kindness to any others.
And why would it make jesus flawed to have a wife? and reproduce because even if he was the 'son of god' in a human body he would also have the same urges as the rest of us, its the nature of the human body.
Christianity is what you believe it is, and you can take what you want from it, if you want mary m to be jesus's wife perhaps he was, no one will ever know! and by the time you have any possibility of finding out (when you die) you'll have probebly forgotten along time ago.

No one that knows anything about history. Most of the "sources" used to support this argument have been proven either fake, full of misinformation and historical error, or written so long after the death of Jesus they could not have been written by the people they are attributed to.
Someone here made an excellent point. The Jewish custom was for the eldest son to take care of their mother if their father had died. On the cross Jesus asked John to take care of his mother. The same rule applies for a wife but Jesus never asked John to take care of Mary Magdalene which is a strong indication that they were not married.

Sure is a possibility. Jesus knew Mary M. Jesus was a man and Mary M was a woman. There is NO evidence to say that Jesus and Mary M were not able to reproduce.
However, its a very slim possibility due to the severe lack of evidence to such a conclusion.

Yes, it is certainly possible. And, despite some people's objections, there is absolutely nothing sinful about getting married and having sex with your wife! Nor, as far as I am aware, did Jesus teach celibacy. I don't think he would have attended the wedding at Cana, much less turned water into wine, if he had believed marriage was somehow sinful.
Although it is possible, and it is nice to think it may have happened, I doubt very much that it did, as there is absolutely no evidence for it.

Where's the proof? There is none, but only speculation many centuries later. What if aliens landed in flying saucers and helped the Egyptians build the pyramids? We can ask any "What if......." but where is the proof? To call it history, we need proof.
Jesus taught about celibacy. The Apostle Paul continued this teaching, saying that is is a better way to serve GOD. It's not that there is anything wrong with marriage, but that singleness allows a person to better serve GOD.

Yes and no.
Yes, it's possible. He was supposed to experience all aspects of a man's life and that is a pretty big one.
No. Frankly I don't think he had the time. I have also wondered if they were lovers at least once so Jesus could experience that. But maybe she was unable to have children and that ends there.

absolutely not. Jesus was a perfect sacrifice of unblemished flesh and spirit. If it was true than the hole bible would be a lie and those who do believe this make God to be a liar. If you check the 144,000 that were sealed in Revelations that never was with a women and the reward they have in heaven to be in that number, do you really think that Jesus would be at the right hand of God Lord over all creation. I believe then the Catholics would probably be able to marry then too. Focus on what is real and not foolishness. read the bible not the devils attempt to deceive.

Jesus did not ever marry and Mary M did not have any child with Jesus?

Considering that Yahoshua (Jesus, if you must) was Aramaic it would be very frowned upon if He had not married and fathered children. Since there is no sin in taking a wife or having offspring, why such vehement objections to Him having a wife and children?
Yes, I think it possible and likely.

Yes, of course he did.
The bible were written and in those women were not 2nd class citizen but 3rd class.
No praise or honour were bestowed upon them.
Some of the great leaders of world were n are women but many seem to fail to break the glass ceiling because of the male domniated world.
