Mary became engaged to Joseph so that Joseph would be her provider and protector, and for their mutual support and comfort.

Then later, after Christ was conceived, Joseph was head of the household, head of the Holy Family, for the nurturing and maturing of God's Son. "He [Jesus] grew in wisdom, age, and favor before God and men."

Utter nonsense! You must reconfigure the timeline to suit the cultic pagan appointment of Mary as a demigoddess. You have been shown the timeline from The Bible, but you reject that and twist the timing to fit the pagan appointment.
