Do any of you think that Mary, mother of Jesus, had other children after Jesus?

Question: I believe that Mary did have other children. The Bible clearly states it: Mark 3:31 31Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. Luke 8:19 19Now Jesus' mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. John 2:12 12After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days. Acts 1:4 4They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers. Mary was a virgin when Jesus was concieved and born. but afterwords she clearly had a normal marriage with her husband and bore some sons. the reason is ask is because i never understood why people call her the virgin mary. to me it was totally normal for her to have children. totally abnornmal not too. So I am trying to understand why people think she didnt have more kids when it seems like in the Bible she did.

Answer: Yes I agree. I think the bible is very plain on this matter. I don't mean to criticize Catholicism, but I have never been able to figure out why they need to insist Mary was always a virgin.
