I think that many people perceive the religious vocation as difficult, and the married vocation as easy. To that I say, “Unnngh.”

I don't know about that, although I do love being married, but I was thinking more along the lines of giving up material possessions and losing my independence. How would I like having to follow a schedule, not having my own home, not being able to be alone whenever I liked?
Raising children certainly isn't easy. Being married is a snap compared to that.
