I was asked this week if we "get a girl" if we would stop. I just told the person, "We don't use birth control.....and we want 4 kids".......
It is hard to get into the whole issue with people.
Truth is, we don't believe in ANY form of chemical birth control. We believe it can cause a fertilized egg not to attach (rare, but it happens) and in our opinion, that is abortion. We also do not plan on ever getting my tubes tied or Charlie getting a vasectomy.
So....we are left with trusting God to limit our family. This would not be much of an issue except I am only SUPPOSED to have 4 C-sections.
We will have to revisit what we will do and not do after my 4th C-section. If my scars look good, I will most likely have a 5th if it happens. We may choose to use NFP at that time. I don't know.
If my scars look dangerous, We will have to use barrier methods. We MAY consider surgery if it looks like my life is in danger..but only at that point.
If I had not had to have C-sections this would be a non-issue. We would have kids until I went through menopause. Unfortunately, that is not an option.

The Submissive wife.

Just the above words will bring anger to some people. They have no understanding of what BIBLICAL submission is. I will not BEGIN to say that I am perfect in this area.....but a few things have happened lately that bother me.....
1. Women speaking negatively about their husbands. They post insults on facebook and expect people to think it is funny.
2. Women speaking to their husbands like they are children. They talk to the man that God has blessed them with like they are idiots.
3. Christian women who think seperate checking accounts are their "Right" What about the two becoming one?

I had a situation recently where I spoke and settled a matter with MY HUSBAND....and another family member said I should have discussed it with them.....ummmm....I spoke with my husband....end of story.

When we got married we included the verses about submission in our ceremony. It speaks of the man being as Christ to his wife. If you are being loved, honored and cared for WHY wouldn't you submit?
It becomes harder when the man is not holding up his end. Harder but not impossible.

I know I am old fashioned. I know that I am odd in my family and the world.
I Don't care.
