He was espoused to Mary before any news from heaven came. Thus, if we are looking at what the culture of the time was, average ages would have put him at about 30 and Mary at about 21 (depending on what source you look to).

He was an old man and Miriam (Mary) was around 13. Joe Christ was married to another woman before Mary.

I do not think he was old as the catholics do but I am sure he was older than her maybe 20 or 25 to her 16

According to one of the gospels that didn't make the cut, Joseph was an old man with children.

I think he was older, but mind you that they had other children at least 12 years later.

He was much older than Mary.
One reason why he forgave her for her affair with Gabriel and raised her kid as his own.

He had to have been a child molestor. 37 years old vs 8 years old... quite a difference, yes?
