I'm not sure where you are reading that Jesus stated people should not marry. I was sort of expecting you to be upset due to having autism and struggling with that. It seems your concern is more about esoteric theological concerns. Honestly, life is too short to get worried about that kind of stuff. If you want to get married, you go for it, and when you do you father many kids if you want to (of course there's an increased risk of autism for any kids you might have).
I'm not looking for marriage as an absolute goal. I want a relationship or even only date with different people, at least. And yet, according to my background, God only approves saving myself for just one exclusive person for the rest of life. He also disapproves of any man finding "gorgeous-looking women" attractive. It's not that we don't like actual relationships either.
There is just nothing wrong with thinking a woman is very sexy or is good-looking.
I am adding here that Christianity and hypothetically God himself sometimes sound like radical feminists in conservative religious dressing. Strangely, this is especially with the Christian Right.
