As you point out, there are so many "what-ifs" about whether or not Jesus was married. This does not bother me as I believe that celibacy/sanctity within marriage is very real. I guess it comes down to how you define celibacy. Another what-if for me...what if Jesus was married and His wife had passed away. His answers to many of the questions within the Gospels demonstrate a more than cursory understanding of marriage. Certainly this is all subjective...and I appreciate your view and great service to God. Thank you for your insight.
