That's correct. Is that hard to believe? Lots of people do that today. They're called monastics, or in layman's terms nuns and monks. If Mary were around today she'd be considered a nun.
Nuns also don't get married. Poor Joseph.
I don't know when the idea started of Joseph being a young man when he married Mary, but that's just not true. Joseph was 80 years old when he was charged with the task of being her guardian. He had already been married once before, had children, and lived a full life before he even met her. The only reason he married her was due to the fact that legal guardianship didn't exist yet.
Not that I doubt you, but how/where was his age documented? I always just assumed they were close to the same age since they were going to be married.
He was an old man that was more of a guardian than a husband. Remember in 13bc women had no rights. If they weren’t married, they were with their family. If a woman wasn’t a virgin, she legally couldn’t get married. If she was found to not be a virgin on her wedding night, that was a death penalty. As I had said in a previous comment, she was given to the temple. I got this from the Gospel of St. Luke.
Like how old? I mean, I'm not exactly a young guy anymore, but I still like to hit it.
