Davinci Code
I haven't read the book but i attended a short forum on it tonight at the lsc ballroom and it was quiet informative. I already knew when i walked in about the book and the false teaching it contained and was wanting to learn about how to counter its objections of the faith we believe in. the speaker was by the name of Dr.James Denison who

to add to the topic, you are right, it never says that jesus was married in the bible, but more importantly, it never says that he wasn't either.

(if you ask me, the ascertation that Jesus was never married was probably a myth created by the ever so honest and never corrupt catholic church to further advocate celibacy in priest hood...and we all know the outcomes of that)
Point #2--According to Judaic custum at the time, deliberate celibacy was often compared to murder and was considered sinful--so if Jesus had not married during the time period, it would have brought him ALOT more controversial attention upon himself and it would have had to be an issue that they spoke of in the bible. The very fact that they never mention it then is almost clear evidence that he was married and there for it was never an issue.
Point # 3--Jesus is called a Rabbi, according to Jewish Mishnaic law, unmarried men can not be Rabbis.
Point # 4--the wedding in Cana, the bible never mentions who the bride and groom are at this wedding, and why Jesus's mother just happen's to be there.
When Jesus turns water into wine at this wedding, it is one of his first major miracles.
Jesus turned the water into wine at the request of his MOTHER, almost as if his mother was the hostess of the wedding. Afterall, why would two ordinary "guests" take on the responsibility of replenishing the wine.
There fore this is very conclusive evidence that this wedding in Cana is Jesus' own.
