There are clues in the Gospels that indicate that Jesus was married. Jesus is called "Rabbi," and even then, a rabbi had to be married to have that title. At the Wedding at Cana, Mary is concerned that they ran out of wine. If she were a guest, why would that be a concern for her? If she were the hostess of the wedding, then it makes sense.
Also, some are not convinced that Mary Magdalene was once a prostitute. In the early church, several women were merged into one to ease the message. Mary had "seven demons" expelled from her by Jesus. It was said that the demons represented the Seven Deadly Sins and Mary then became the poster child for repentance.
The fact that Mary Magdalene is prominently mentioned, usually the first woman named, in the Gospels should indicate her importance to Jesus.
If it were proved that Jesus and Mary were married, it wouldn't change anything for me. It would just prove that the Church has long manipulated the message.
