Um, I’m not sure that if I was her husband my first thought would be, “Boy, I can’t wait until she gives birth to the incarnate, holy, and eternal God so I can have my way with her!” Personally, I would be afraid to even touch her considering what happened to Uzzah when he touched the holy Ark of the Covenant. I can only speak for myself though.

That is what we call in theology, "projection of one's own sensibilities and emotions onto the text." Some have even coined the term "eisogesis," "reading IN" to the text, in this case, reading in your own feelings.

Those of us who actually care to discover the proper interpretation of the biblical text attempt to avoid such errors. Since it is the Word of God, I pray we are successful, because those who distort God's Word, especially under the cover of authority, are subject to bad stuff happening.
