I think the trouble stems from the (very false) idea that Jesus can be "less God" if He 'succumbs' to His humanity, when actually, just the opposite is true. He is always All God, All Man, All Holy Spirit - it's kind of the point of the entire exercise, if you know what I mean. ;)

If Magdalene was His chosen one as Man that doesn't affect His standing as God and Holy Spirit in the slightest. She cried with His Mother (who was also the Bride of the Holy Spirit and yet her role isn't called into question) at the cross and she was given the gift of seeing him Risen first. At the very least she was extraordinarily blessed, maybe so much so that certain male voices of the church found her threatening enough to turn into something she definitely wasn't.

I'm very happy to envision her as His human wife, whether consummated or not. She's worthy of the title.
