 Jesus said that the angels **in heaven** don't marry.  He did not say
that angels in general can't or don't or have not. If he did he would
prove himself ignorant of scripture ann that is a big problem when you
are the son of god.  

Angels marry, have sex, eat, and sin. That's what the bible says. Does
Jesus or his heavenly father approve of these acts of the sons of god? I
doubt it.
