Best Answer

Jonah never mentioned Jesus, because he wrote long before the time of Jesus.

However, the other way around, the author of Matthew, who frequently found useful references in the Old Testament, has Jesus say (Matthew 13:39-41) that just as Jonah spent three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of man spend three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Of course, Matthew's analogy is not very convincing because the Gospel goes on to tell us that Jesus was buried on the evening of Good Friday and had risen by Sunday morning - a total of only 1 full day and two nights. However, this was the best comparison that Matthew could do.

Did Jonah have a wife?

Just judging by the Jewish culture and values, it's almost certain that the prophet Jonah had a wife and children, although they're not mentioned in the book named for him. The Hebrew scriptures are thoroughly frugal in their verbosity. An individual is named if s/he is an important component of the message, and not named if s/he isn't.
