The unusual idea of a single man.
A single man changed history.
Our Gregorian calendar testifies to that change. The United States, as one nation under God, likewise testifies to the impact this single man had on history.
Think about it: a man who was single his entire life, who was never married, carried a message of love which could be felt in the direst of circumstances.
What if he had married? What if he could have embodied love as a family, not remaining single? What if the Messiah had had a bride? Wouldn't the transformation he sought be 10-Xed?
Think about it: the world multiplies and grows and develops through couples having children. The greatest common denominator in the world of people is married couples.
Despite the clanging of morals and the lagging values surrounding the makeup of couples these days, the only way human populations grow is by couples forming homes together.
Wouldn't the power of the Messiah have increased, if he had got together with a she and formed a family? The married man would have created a legacy: descendants who would be walking his talk into the future. And he and she would have naturally reached a larger audience than he alone would.
I present this idea, knowing the notion of the messiah as a single man is a long-held notion; indeed, it has been so firmly rooted, not just by the religion he initiated but by the culture his life propagated, such that any concept of a non-single messiah just has no foothold in the hearts of the faithful.
But think about it again: Jesus referred to himself as a bridegroom. And he said he had "much more to say." Could it be that this secret was tucked into his breast for his next visit?
History, as of yet, has not seen this kind of notional change, but I do sense if next time a single man comes, he would not be as effective as a man and woman together.

Highly Trained by my wife
Back in '82, I married into another country, another race, another language and culture, another way of doing things, simple things, like organizing kitchen shelves, tying shoes, shopping for bread, all different... when I married my beloved from Japan, Yoshi.
We were introduced by our favorite pastor but could not be more opposite, except our birth dates which shoulder each other. Our marriage turned out to be a blessing. I'm a pastor, an uncle, and a grandpa. Stick around, you might learn something from our boiling marriage stew.
