Spirituality:
The New Testament does not tell us directly whether Jesus was married or not. Given the lack of an explicit statement on the matter, one might think there can be no objection to the suggestion that Jesus was married, or at least might have been. One might even suppose that it doesn’t matter one way or the other. However, much more is at stake here than the question of Jesus’ marital status, as a review of the history of discussions of this matter will make clear. Thus, in addressing the issue of whether Jesus was married, we will not only be answering that question but will also be learning quite a bit about Jesus and at the same time debunking some radically erroneous claims about him.
