Good luck finding that one needle in a very large stack of hay..

I have yet to encounter any woman who wears skirts/dresses on a regular basis. It seems as though the only ones that do are the pagan African women and the Mohammedans that you would see on the BBC every day. The main problem is that these women aren't Catholic and live on the other side of the globe..

O, ye of little faith. :farmer:

If God desires you for marriage, and you want these things in a wife, she exists out there. Never stop believing that, because He provides.

I know it's discouraging, but look... all you need to find is ONE.

I usually buy books used for the lowest price I can find. I looked up FW on Amazon.com and Half.com ... and while there were a few that were a couple dollars less than $8.00, I was suprised to see that it's still going to cost at least in the $5-$6 range for the paperback version. It seems to be holding it's value pretty well, currently. I bought a used copy a few years back and know I didn't pay that much. A lot of the time I can buy books on Amazon.com for 1 cent plus $3.99 s&h!

Anyway, I love this book and respect the memory of Mrs Andelin (who passed away in 2009, I believe). Her book has managed to enlighten and enrage equal numbers of women over the years ... proving what an important subject this is for women in our culture. There is no neutral response to what she taught through this book.

Her Mormonism comes through when she talks about things like "Celestial Marriage" and I guess in the mentioning of divorce .. but I think she also refers to avoiding divorce at all costs, fighting for one's H who's gone outside the marriage ...

I'm reading "Escape" by Carolyn Jessop, formerly of the FLDS cult ... and she mentions girls at her school called "nusses" a nickname for the term "righteousness." These girls were hated by the others because they used FW as their "bible" and were behaving in ways that the other girls felt was so fake and superficial. I can see that being a possibility .. However, I also think there are ways of incorporating the teachings into ones' life while still behaving in a realistic manner. Also, Mrs Andelin was not of the cult within the cult that FLDS is/was. Mrs. Andelin was the only wife of her husband. :smile:

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

There are currently multiple editions of FW in paperback form on half.com for 75 cents each! I clicked into one of the links and in the good and acceptable category, there are more than a few at that price!
