'It's Not Good for Man to Be Alone' ... but Wasn't Jesus Single?

This is the main reason I think The Gospel was something other than "Jesus paid for our sinful nature"---because Jesus wasn't "good." He was alone.

I think the Gospel was 'what Jesus preached during His life.' And--if you insist that Jesus preached His own death-&-resurrection as the gospel--I'm liable to suspect that that's just missionary babble tacked-onto His actual words to encourage folks to fill the preachers' pews.
I know (and I mention on my blog ... linked from within the linked discussion 
) that lots of pastors 'field that argument' with "Jesus was The Husband to all who believe!" (and then go on believing 'He was a little lamb that we used to pay off our debts at the slaughterhouse' or whatever).
So He was 33 and single ... why don't people think that was His sin? 
(and here I am--35 and single ... like Maria Bamford says, "Oh nooooooooooooooooo!"

When God made Adam, He didn't make him to be alone. He made him to have a wife and have children and to populate the earth. Jesus, didn't come here to have a family. He came here to give himself in behalf of mankind so that he could repurchase us and get back for us what Adam lost by disobeying.

Yes, he gave us Adam but Jesus stole his birthright and left us with cemetaries getting fuller and fuller because we don't beliveth on Adam enough 
Son of Adam, Son of God - When Jesus entered public life he was about thirty years old, the son (in public perception) of Joseph, who was— son of

@mythociate One day, when Jesus rules the earth, he will empty the cemeteries. What a happy day that will be.
John 5:28-29 American Standard Version (ASV) 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice, 29 and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have [a]done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.

@1hopefulman Funny, how "because it's in some book that lotsa people like to believe" somehow stands as 'proof that it must be true, no matter what the law says.'
