Well, sadly, the answer is no. There is no evidence, and nothing in the Bible, to suggest that Mary and Joseph were married but Aramaic and Semitic society at the time was much like that of most Indo-European traditions of long standing by the time of Jesus whereby a man would work as an apprentice until his late twenties and at around of age of 28-30 would take a virgin bride normally a girl of around 12-14 years old. As far as I am aware the legal age of consent in Isreal is still 12 (or at least it was until recently if the law has changed). Any man who was not in a relationship by the age of 33-35 was often shunned and considered strange/homosexual. While marriage is mentioned in the Bible it is not proscribed as being obligatory. The question really should be why are children born out of wedlock considered bastards by some when Joseph was not the father of Jesus, who was himself effectively born out of wedlock, and conceived by someone not his male parent carer. Outside of the story of the "Wedding Feast at Cana" there is no obligation in Scripture to marriage and even St. Paul in Corinthians only goes so far as to say that "Love" is all you need, if I may paraphrase it so.

Swing? The 60's meaning of the word?
Absolutely NO!
Mary was a chaste vergin as was Joeseph.
After the birth of Jesus, however, normal marital relations started and continued thhroughout the rest of their lives together. Mary had other children after Jesus was born - the father to them all was Joeseph.
Remember Jesus loves you, He died so that you could be forgiven. Instead of mocking, join the forever family.

In the context of the Internet, a troll is a person who makes inflammatory or comments, which by effect or design cause disruptions in discourse, or a post made by such a person. Trolling can be described as a breaching experiment, which, because of the use of an alternate persona, allows for normal social boundaries and rules of etiquette to be tested or otherwise broken, without serious consequences.

Joseph was a very successful and gifted carpenter and I am sure he built a lovely swing for he and Mary to enjoy in their back yard.
