Karen Carpenter's singing makes me cry, but when I heard the first refrain I just broke out sobbing:

Make Believe It's Your First Time

The Carpenters

We've tried our hand
At love before
We've been around the game enough
To know the score
But then is then
And now is now
And now is all that matters anyhow

Make believe it's your first time
Leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine

The door is closed
It's you and me
We'll take our time with love
The way it oughta be
This moment's ours
Tonight's the night
And if we fall in love
Well, that's alright

Make believe it's your first time
Leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine

So close your eyes
And hold me close
And let our hearts pretend
That love is ours to share tonight
And it might never end

Make believe it's your first time
Leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine

My high school friends have big careers, big homes, big wardrobes and big vacations.

That's what they tell you anyway. It may not be 100% lies, but its certainly mostly lies, justifications, or excuses.

Oh, and did you recoil a little at reading that I will soon have eight children?

No, actually ... I was thrilled. If Christendom is to be saved, women like you will be among the heroes of its salvation.

[NorthMountain]

'm just wanting to say that the feminist ideal has cheated women and it has lied to them

heh ... That's a HUGE major point you're making.

[NorthMountain]

I gave up my career to be a homeschooling mom.

Nonsense! You gave up nothing. You changed careers ... for the better, IMO.

The idea that changing careers from some paying office job to wife/mother constitutes "giving up" something, or "settling" for something less is part of the feminist twaddle that has infested our society and degraded it.

You are right, I didn’t even realize that I let that creep into my mind.

Thanks:)

I love the vows my husband and I made to each other in our Catholic wedding 39 years ago: “I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life.” It’s just such a poetic way to state the obvious, IMHO.

Great essay, Megan, and I agree with every word you wrote! I was surprised that you had 8 children, only because the last I heard, you only had 5, lol.

Um...it is easy to get bored around Wyoming...especially in the winter!

I would have dated you in an instant before I met my husband - who I have only been with for 20-some-odd years now. He too is a man of honor, integrity, honesty, and loyalty - to a fault.

I see you and I'd recommend you to so many - but my friends are married or not worthy of you.

I'll keep you in my prayers that you are blessed with a wife who sees your value and worth. But you are right - hedonism is celebrated and the repentance more than the one who has remained steadfast and faithful.
