If Jesus did not take a wife in His physical life why would He then do so as a spiritual body which has no gender, it is sexless. Our gender is no more than an evolutionary benefit to multiply the genetic material that goes into each of us.
Jesus said He would return with a new name and He associated that name with, The City of God, New Jerusalem. So why would Jesus return with a new name, because it's not literally Jesus, not physically Jesus but a spirit with the same power that Jesus had. Therefore New Jerusalem must be a new religion that will grow from the founder who has that new name.
As for the 144,000 I don't know what the symbolic allusions here mean. 12 seems to be associated with authority, the twelve tribes seems to represent all of humanity so 12 x 12 x 1000 may indicate that this new religion will attract a great multitude and have a far reaching authority?
You have your belief but I see nothing in the Bible to confirm your belief, nor mine. Why would the Creator of the universe now need 144,000 Christians to rule over an obedient mankind. Wouldn't the job be so much easy when everybody becomes obedient?
Good luck with your resurrection, I hope it goes well for you.
