But now, in the US, they are being trained that a career is more important. They will discover that a career is just a six-letter word for a three-letter word...job.

? I think a lot of women struggle with infertility even if they’re younger. So many factors outside at play. But I think the main message is how God looked with favor upon the stigmatized women so that they can be an example of His faithfulness through impossible circumstances, through humiliation in the wait for a promise. Something all of us can appreciate whether we want children or not.

Not just the US. While in Biblical times a characteristic cry among the people of God was such as, "Give me children, or else I die," (Genesis 30:1) and beyond

While in 1800 US women on average had 7 children had her first child around the age of 23 and proceeded to bear children at two-year intervals until her early 40s (more of whom died before reaching adulthood than now), and in the baby boom era the average was 3.6 kids (where children made up 36 percent, vs. 22:% now), yet by 2021 it was 1.6.6, and with the median age for giving birth hitting an unprecedented age 30.

Usually meaning women working outside the home, and more money to spend on meals outside the home thus less cooking (besides more spoiled kids, who have no or maybe just one sibling to learn how to get along with and share, thus more being unduly fearful and intolerant of others).

Be celibate and continent as per God's will, or have as many as He gives, practicing temperance.
