Default Why didn't Jesus marry? Was Jesus a virgin at 33?

I asked one of my friends this morning "why didn't Jesus marry?" and he replied "maybe Jesus married but the Bible did not mention that". His answer sounded very funny because I don't think the Bible would go to the extent of removing Jesus' wife from the scripture knowing very well that no man separates what God has joined together.

From all indications, Jesus did not marry at all and I don't think Jesus even had a girlfriend. The Bible says Jesus died at the age of 33 but does that mean Jesus was a virgin at 33? Why didn't Jesus marry?. I remember sometime ago I asked another guy "why didn't Jesus marry?" and he replied "Jesus wouldn't be able to fulfill his mission with a sexy woman by His side" so I asked if "women are evil" and he replied "women are not evil and marriage is a very good thing but it is very important for a man on a mission to remain single in order not to get distracted".

His answer makes sense but but it doesn't make much sense to me because it is Jesus we are talking about here. Samson got deceived by Delilah because Samson was just a mortal man with his hormones jumping up and down but Jesus is God and he is perfect in the sense that nobody and nothing can deceive him. In other words, no woman could deceive Jesus because Jesus was God. If so, then why didn't Jesus marry?

The Bible says Jesus was a righteous man who committed no sin at all. Sex before marriage is a great sin before God and man so it makes perfect sense to say Jesus was a virgin at 33 although I cannot say the same about the Pope at 84 why because the Pope is a mortal man and when it comes to mortal men, anything can happen.

Marriage is a very good thing and I remember somewhere in the Bible God said "multiply and fill the earth". You cannot multiply without first marrying because sex before marriage is a great sin. Marriage is a very important thing because we cannot multiply and fill the earth without marriage. If so then why didn't Jesus set an example. Why didn't Jesus show us how to multiply and fill the earth? Jesus came to fulfill the promises. Jesus came to teach and explain things to us and considering the importance of marriage, I expected Jesus to at least set an example yet the Bible says Jesus did not marry. Jesus had no kid and Jesus died a virgin at 33.

What do you think? Is the Bible missing something?
