    Yes, my wife and I get the snide comments regularly about this.  When you get out, is it in homeschooling groups?  People there tend to have larger families themselves.
    We don't do much with the homeschool groups (where, actually, the large families are only slightly less rare). Our regular activities are open to the general public. The only way they're a step above the standard public school crowd is that you have to have parents involved enough to show up for things like music classes and maker clubs outside school hours.

    • So maybe it is more of a Texas thing ... to be a little more open to larger families.

    It is, especially if you live in a more rural town. There are plenty of people with 4 children. The 1or 2 max on children that Trads deride everyone for is more like 3 or 4, sometimes going up to 5 and 6 - but that is less common. People also seem to marry early out here, like in their early to mid twenties.

    • The ICKSP puts on a young adults retreat each year. I went to the one back in August, it was very good. Refined, dignified.

    I thought it was a good example of healthy interaction between young men and women within a safe context. I think things like these prevent the "Forbidden Fruit disorder" or whatever you called it, from coming to be.

    Slim Pickens!  In my old chapel I had a choice of three men, one was 32 years my senior and unemployed.  The other two were closer in age but both physically and mentally challenged.  That's why I'm a spinster.
    In the age of the internet, there is no excuse to be a spinster, even for a Trad.

    Long distance relationships rarely work out well.  I wonder if they offer mail-order husbands from the Far East?

    Perhaps pilgrimages or retreats could be held at locations where singles could meet.
    .
    I met my husband at a Thanksgiving dinner party sponsored by the church for singles. Best investment ever! We were all asked to bring the trimmings, salads, bread rolls, and desserts. There was a sign up list so that we all did not bring the traditional pumpkin or apple pie. My husband was not Catholic at that time. He was there to find a wife, and he found me. :)

    One does not need an excuse to be unmarried.
