Joseph was, as far as I know , MUCH older than Mary...perhaps he was beyond the age....perhaps, because she was probably 14-15, he was uncomfortable with the age difference.

Joseph was much older ??? You mean too old to provide for the family ??? too old to protect the house and family ??? too old to be an active father to Jesus ??? Abraham was 100 years old...God didn’t consider him to be too old..

didn’t Mary have respect before she married Joseph ??? was she or her family disrespectful that she needed the virtue of Joseph to hide or save her ???

beyond the age ??? age for what ?? again I give you Abraham..and does that mean Mary would have if Joseph was able ???

There was no law too stop an old man from marrying a young girl...again I give you Abraham..Joseph was not uncomfortable with the law or he would never have believed the angel and married Mary knowing that a great law giver, Isaiah was the one who said a virgin would give birth...Josaeph was quite comfortable with the law..his family for generations had followed the law of Moses...

God and His Word is my business...
