—> Got evidence of that?

Mary was an obedient, godly, married women.

As such, she was obedient to God.

God never commanded her to remain a virgin.

Prophecy did not require perpetual virginity.

Got made sexton married couples and it is good.

God delights in married couples pleasing each other sexually.

Scripture commands couples not to withhold sex from each other, except for a short time, for the purpose of prayer.

Scripture states Joseph kept Mary a virgin - until the birth of Christ - fulfilling scripture,

No Apostle ever taught the perpetual virginity of Mary.

No Christians record it before 100 ad - while the apostles were on earth.

You obviously didn’t even consider Jewish tradition and beliefs. Did you know that MANY married Jewish couples stayed in a state of virginity throughout their married life. According to Jewish belief though marriage may sometimes be a holy estate, it presents great hindrances to prayer and the teaching of Scripture is that the states of virginity and continency are more accordant with God’s will than that of marriage. Many Jews choose perpetual virginity
