In some profound way, sexuality images God. "In the image of God created He him. Male and female created He them." Believing she was a true and faithful wife to Joseph in no way impugns Mary's holiness. Rather, treating her husband in a righteous way is the holiest thing a wife can do.

* Are you suggesting that the perpetual virginityy of Mary would mean she treated Joseph Unjustly?

How is such an idea compatible with Mary's freedom from Sin?

That IS the corner you seem to have backed yourself into, my dear sister, and highly esteemed fellow saint. BTW -- I'd appreciate your prayers for my employment situation -- just finished another round of interviews.
