Hmmmm….So the commandment that husbands and wives should never deny the other sex applies to everyone except for the mother and earthly father of Jesus? I don’t think so. 1 Corinthians 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. Besides, Mary is called a ‘wife’ and Joseph is called a ‘husband’….you can’t be a wife or husband without sex and in fact the marriage doesn’t actually start until it has been consummated. Up to that point, it can only be stated that Joseph took Mary to be as his wife.
