If you want to know about why some 19th century leaders made exactly such connections, then that is the place to look. (My apologies if I am answering a question you don't really have).

Gotcha. I'll have to put that on my list. To tell you the truth, I hadn't given much thought to the "married Jesus" question, or to why early leaders may have taught that. I've always just kind of accepted that he had to have that ordinance sometime or another, ala baptism.
Thanks for the heads up.
