Dee Dee, as to the "real woman" comment, I know Joe and I have jokingly referred to being "real adults" in reference to being married, having kids, home, etc. Agreed that it is very offensive even if said jokingly.

This topic is close to my heart and on my mind a lot lately. I remember when I was newly engaged making a comment to a single friend along the lines of "I can't wait to be a real woman."

Well said, Paige. I found a similar thought in an article I was reading last week in regards to single/married women. It says this: "First we must realize that God's will for people isn't dependent on marital status."

Another intense truth, Paige. I really appreciate your insights. I don't know what the thrust of Raleigh's sermon was this week, but Taylor talked to us a lot about desires, and this meshes neatly with that.

Thank you for sharing.

Excellent post. It's been a disheartening truth that marriage and children do not an awesome Christian make. Some days I find myself just as lost as ever.
