They have always been very much in love. Years ago, it was considered quite normal for a woman to marry around age twenty and begin a family. Attending college was not the norm, and most mothers stayed home to raise their children. As years passed by, women began to pursue college degrees in droves, either putting off marriage and motherhood, or putting their children in one of the many daycares that began popping up everywhere. Now, most women can not imagine having joy in "just marrying and having children". They assume it's a droll brain sucking choice. How is it then that so many women years ago made this choice and found it an honor to take care of husband, children, and home? I think a college education is a wonderful thing, I have two degrees myself. However, when I think about what matters most to me, I don't think about the degrees, I think about my six children and husband--taking care of them is where I have joy. Best wishes Joy-Anna!!!!

I also went to college and had a career of my own before settling down with my husband and raising a family. I am fascinated by the notion some have of "completely trusting God and His timing, and follow His plan." Perhaps you think of finding the right spouse as destiny, but I think there are likely any number of paths we can follow, people we can meet and have things work out just fine. <br />Don't get me wrong. I love my husband and children dearly and I've been very happy. However, I think it all worked out by time and chance. By the way, I hope you find the same happiness.<br />But first, you have to be happy with yourself before you can be happy with someone else.
