obviously this josephite marriage thing is not prescribed by the Church as the common way to undertake married life.

That is correct; it isn't very common. However, all are familiar with the idea of living as "brother and sister".

yes i am familiar with it, and were one of us unable to continue to consummate our marriage i would be fine with it. but i have a brother and i have a husband, and i prefer my relationship with my husband to be more intimate than that.
