Ok so this is what I believe and to me it dosn't seem so far fetched.And before you say"oh none of its true",just think over the possibilities because i used to be like that and now I believe it. One more point-Why is it wrong for Jesus to have had a wife?Some people say it would have stopped him from doing his duty,but if he was married,then that makes no sense as he still did his duty.Jesus was also supposed to be both human and divine and had human feelings,so it would probably have been quite natural for him to have had a wife.
The marriage of cana
Proponents of the theory that Mary Magdalene and Jesus were married point to a Jewish convention in existence during the couple's lifetime.A jewish man was expected to marry and create children.By not marrying Jesus would have willingly chosen to go against societal norms and practices under Mosaic law.
Some say precedent existed for him to choose bachelorhood.For example,some prophets of the old testament and his own cousin,John the Baptist,did not marry.Yet those who believe that he would have married suggest that by not marrying,the society in which he lived would have judged him to be diminished.His own grandfather Saint Joachim,suffered terribly for being barren until God's mercy enabled Joachim's wife Anne to become pregnant with Mary,the blessed virgin.The temple priests of Joachim's time refused his offering,calling him cursed by God for not fathering children(in particular,sons).
As for being a wife,Mary Magdalene may not have wanted marriage either.It is likely,however,that she would have been deeply attracted to the charismatic Jesus.How could she not have fallen in love with him?But would Jesus have returned her love as a man to a woman?Or would he have subjugated his more human instincts in order to devote all of his body's energy and power to his divine mission?I think not.Or was Mary Magdalene a teacher for him,initiating him in scared rites of lovemaking,perhaps toward the goal of merging male and female energies into a mystical state of cosmic consciousness where their sense of separateness dissolved into an ocean of oneness?
As Matthew 19:4-5 says:And he answered and said unto them,Have ye not read that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female;and said,"For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife;and they twain shall be one flesh?"
God knew exactly what he was doing when he created male and female.Further,he may have had a specific purpose in mind-marriage.Mary Magdalene cherished Jesus.Some writers have suggested that the wedding at Cana was none other than Mary Magdalene's own marriage to Jesus.He was there with his disiples.By that time,Mary Magdalene had travelled far and wide with Jesus and his disciples,was always with them and was even considered by others to be a 13th disciple,and so would ahve most definetly been at the wedding.At many weddings today,it is the mother of the bride and groom who most often worries about the quantities of food and drink.In this story,Jesus's own mother seems to be the one doing this sort of worrying.She's a guest of the wedding(or so we are to believe),and yet she goes to the servants of the house and tells them to carry out Jesus's instructions.Funnily enough,it was only the high priest of the wedding,the groom or the groom's mother who could order the servants around like this,showing that Jesus was most probably the groom in this wedding.In her instructions to the servants,she effectively orchestrates what will be Jesus's first sign that he is the messiah.
John 2:3-10 says:And when they wanted wine,the mother of Jesys saith unto him,"They have no wine".Jesus saith unto her,"Woman, what have I to do with thee?Mine hour is not yet come".(Here Jesus is saying he is not yet ready to prove who he is and that he is busy,most likely with the wedding)His mother saith unto the servants,"Whatsoever he saith unto you,do it".And there were set there six waterpots of stone; after the manner of the purifying of the jews,containing two or three firkins apiece.Jesus saith unto them"Fill the waterpots with water."And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them"Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast."And they bare it.When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine;and knew not when it was, (but the servants which drew the water knew,)the governor of the feast called the bridegroom.And saith unto him"Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk,then that which is worse;but thou has kept the good wine until now."
Jesus was the one who brought the wine to the Governor,yet the text calls the one who did this the bridegroom,meaning Jesus changed the water into wine at his own wedding.

Many syncretistic religions formed gnosticism. Gnosticism was rivaling against Christianity and gnosticism held itself better religion as Christianity was. Word gnosticism comes from Greek word gnosis, which means knowledge. Gnosticism had various effects, for instance, some Gnostics taught that divinity can be achieved through unity of the man and woman. This thought led some Gnostics to reach for divinity through sexual intercourse between the man and woman. There existed also some Gnostics, who abstained from sexual intercourse. When we know the fact that Gnostics held Christians as their enemies and that Gnostics held themselves better as Christians and that Gnostics wanted to show in every way that Gnosticism was better as Christianity, so Gnostics made so called gnostic gospels were they twisted, slandered and misrepresented the real gospels. Gnostics went so far in this misrepresent that they wrote "new gospels" by faking the real gospels. In these faked gospels Gnostics wrote that Jesus Christ was an ordinary man who has a sexual relationship with Mary Magdalene.
