It came to me recently while thinking on this that it is my opinion that not only was he obedient to God and took her to his wife, that, as a man righteous before the Lord, made much effort to protect her from lookers on. I think he might have gone so far as to remove the vail from her face so...

Where is Mary now and what do you believe her exact purpose is? I recall many years ago, shortly after becoming a Christian, stumbling across the Catholic tv channel. There was a very bold priest who was teaching and as I watched, I nodded my head agreement with his words. Sounded really good...
