That doesn’t mean that they had relations. Mary was a perpetual virgin. Even Luther said so.
If the didn't, then they weren't married. Their marriage covenant was a sham.

Mary was a perpetual virgin.
What does that even mean anyway - perpetual virgin? And why is it so important for you to designate her as one?

Even Luther said so.
I really don't care what Luther said. I'm more of a Jan Hus man anyway. Besides, I choose to go by what the Bible actually says, which of course was Hus' original deal in the first place.
All that matters to me is that Mary was a virgin when she first conceived, which is what the Bible says. After that, it really doesn't matter to me. Yet I refuse to reject what the Bible says in order to put some 'perpetual' label on her. She is most blessed among women, and Jesus was her first born. That is good enough for me.
