And those of us who are of one flesh who cannot hold your own infant? I guess that means we are of no value to the Christian family, huh? Only those who can carry and deliver a child have worth.
Got it.

I’m back (Zuriel, that is). My wife rarely ever comments online. That was maybe the third or fourth time in the 15 yrs I’ve been on FR. When she saw your comment, she said: “that type of a response is exactly why I don’t join any social media sites. It is too easy to misinterpret what someone is saying.”
And since she is not a chatter box (one of the reasons I love her), she tries to say as much as needed with no more words than necessary. I saw she closed using her name. That’s another thing she doesn’t care for, using a name other than her own when on a site. That’s her, the real deal; nothing but straight forward “this is who I am, and this is what I believe.” And she is all that while being a very humble and loving person.
She was simply expressing that the experience of motherhood is like no other. The joy is like nothing else. A living breathing soul that came out of her body. She can’t understand why a woman that is able to give birth would not want to be a mother. That’s her opinion, not a condemnation of folks that think differently.
Her heart aches for those that want to have their own children, but can’t. Our second came after a “dry spell” of no success, followed by a miscarriage. She has said that that was a tough time, but would have been tougher if we didn’t already have one child.
I look at how my life was before I met her: It was all about me and materialism. We met, and she was too wonderful to not try to lasso. She said she would help on the farm, but was not going to work away from home. She was raised in a city home where both parents worked, and partially raised herself. She said that she hated coming home from school to an empty house. Her brothers, all older, were in school sports, or off serving in the military.
We gave up a lot of material things an RN job could have paid for, but we have no regrets.
(Sorry about the long reply. I’m the opposite of my wife in more ways than one. lol)
