It “certainly” appears that they were looking forward to having sex together? That doesn’t seem to occur to Mary when she’s talking with the Archangel and troubled about where this promised future baby was gonna come from.

It does in that she is saying she and Joseph haven't had sex yet as she says she has not "known a man"...nor has she had sex with any man. That's why she was asking the "how" this was going to happen.

You've read the text...right??

You can rest assured there was a lot more to that conversation than what is recorded in the scriptures...And you can rest assured that when Mary became betrothed to Joseph, she knew that meant a housefull of kids in the future...
