I am told that the Greek does not imply that normal marital relations did occur after His birth, rather, the emphasis is on Joseph not being responsible for the conception of Jesus

three guesses who told you that......naw I do not need 3

Outline of Biblical Usage of Know ... ginōskō
1) to learn to know, come to know, get a knowledge of perceive, feel a) to become known
2) to know, understand, perceive, have knowledge of
a) to understand
b) to know
3) Jewish idiom for sexual intercourse between a man and a woman
4) to become acquainted with, to know

Now I think we can assume that Mary and Joseph knew each other as individuals as they had a courtship ...so there is only one option here

Mark, lets say that Mary was a submissive wife and had a normal sexual marriage with Joseph..how would that affect your faith? Does it impact on who Jesus is? Does it change the message of the gospel? Does it make Jesus less God or Mary less blessed by God ?

Mary, has no impact on our salvation and certainly her sex life has no impact..

Enjoying a Sunday excursion in recreational futility?

Getting the RC’s to face facts and reality about such things is not something a wise person places bets on! LOL.
