Her virginity before the birth of our Savior is important. After-wards, not so much. Look at it this way; Joseph married a cute young wife, chosen by God to carry Himself into the world as the path to salvation. What purpose would be served for God denying Joseph marital discourse with his cute young wife after Jesus' birth. Would her abstinence give her mystical powers, like the Lancelot myths?That my friend is the point.. The virgin birth is supported by the inspired, infallible word of God.
Mary contributed the humanity of Christ , the line of David to the King of kings and Lord of lords.. She was a very special woman ...but not sinless

“She was a very special woman ...” — so I take it your opinion has changed from “just an ordinary Jewish girl”?

Some seem to believe that Jesus' devinity is tied to Mary's virginity.
If this were true, would He really be God?
