Mormons believe that marriage is one of the ordinances you need to attain glory. Problem is while the bible does relate Jesus' baptism, it doesn't say a thing about Jesus' marriage. The hypothesis that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene is one I've always heard in Mormon circles since I was a kid in the 70's. The 80's book "The Holy Blood the Holy Grail" also put forth this hypothesis. (The authors sued for plagiarism when the "Da Vinci" code became wildly popular, but lost, because the hypothesis predates their book too.)
Early Mormon authorities said Jesus was married polygamously.
