My Refelction on Lk 9, 57-62

Where about did Jesus live?

". . . Foxes have dens and birst have nets but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head."

Jesus appeared to have no permanent address. He did his ministry by staying anywhere his missions brought him.

Maybe this explains why Jesus did not marry. Married life is a vocation. While each one has his own vocation but in general vocation is a calling where in one could be able to be a sign and symbol of God's love in his own unique way.

If Jesus married someone then he would not be able to attend to the needs of his family if he would lead a life as he did.

Marriage is good and Jesus could still save us had he chosen to get married but relative to his chosen lifestyle it is best that he didn't.
