It is my belief that significant books were excluded from the Bible at the time of its creation, the council of Nicea.
It is likely that documents prove that Jesus was married, and should have been in the Bible.
But, men, priests, of that era had their own agenda.
We now don't know the full story or the complete truth.

What books would that be and why do you believe that they would have anything to do with whether or not Jesus was married?

The Bible does not say that Jesus was married.
The Bible does not say that Jesus was single.
This issue has been interpreted by those to fit their own agenda. Priests for example would fight to have Jesus being single and sex-free, lest their mission crumbles.
I personally don't have any problems with Jesus being married. He was a human man.

He was complete, and had no need for a wife.

It might have been mentioned, en passant, in the Bible were it true.
We know all we need to know for salvation.

In practicality...
"A man of sorrows" who knew his destiny which was to die
A man on a mission who gave up his job to preach
A man who had no home, not even a place to rest his head
In his deity...
Looking forward to his spiritual bride
He wasn't married.

You missed my point completely. Fits being a libtard.
Your post consisted of four questions, none of which I have any reason to think you knew the answer to. In fact, it's highly likely you don't.
This is not the place to continue your education, that's all I'm saying.

Jesus was a human man, and could have been married. As I have pointed out, the Bible does not mention it either way.

What is the evidence that supports that Jesus was married, a scrap of papyrus? It's not in the bible. The bible does speak of marriage and multiplying, however it also does speak about remaining unmarried also, although this is mainly in the NT.
I think the command to go forth and multiply is not dependent on doing so by a certain age, is it? Jesus was around 30-33 when crucified, was he supposed to be married before then?
