Thanks Mater. That makes sense.

I guess for me, I've wrapped up so much of my identity in being Catholic that I have a hard time with all the divisions.

I'd pray for a wife. Worked for me.

If it's God's will to answer your prayer, He'll make it happen.

I'm not saying you should stay holed up in a room with and Xbox and she'll come knocking, but pray and live your life. It has surprised me where I ran into other trads.

Beware of faux trad women who say "I want men to respect me for my mind." That's code for "I expect to be in charge."

Bishop Williamson once said about women "You are the tomato plant and your husband is the stake. You are to conform to him, his wishes, his desires..." I'm paraphrasing but you get the gist.

Why let the divisions bother you? Even in the presence of Our Lord, the apostles were always arguing among themselves. Our Lord never reprimanded them for this unless they stepped into serious theological error.

Penitent Woman, maybe a Catholic singles website would be ideal for you.

When I met her, and saw that she had the complete writings of Fr Leonard Feeney on the bookshelf behind her lovely shoulder...

...that was when I knew she was the one!

What a beautiful tribute of love and respect to the woman you love. Very moving.
