Was Mary and Joseph stronger and more able to deal with what they were called to do?
I do not believe that Mary or Joseph were more special than some others of the day before they were called. They had to have faith, and had certain character. I believe that after they were called, God equipped them mightiliy. Being that Mary became pregnant out of wedlock, which was very, very uncommon for the time, they did have to be able to handle the ridicule and embarrasement.
