    I feel like i need to get this out

    I often think of the different paths i could go down.
    What is gods will for me? Ect.

    I am pretty sure looking at single life religous life consecrated virginity but if God wills me to marry that is ok.

    If i do marry. Id like to say the man be a devoted strict catholic and not that money matters but its important its important to pay the bills and rent and food. Its important he be financially stable or get married when he becomes financially stable.
    As for me id pefer to be the housewife. I dont believe every woman should be a housewife. I agree women can have jobs married. Its just personally for me the reason i pefer being a stay at home mom is cause.

    . I want the kids homeschooled. I dont want them in public school even sending them to a private catholic school is probally expensive and i dont know how devout the teachers would be. Are they lapsed catholics cafeteria catholics. I dont want any false things being taught to my children. So it better be a very traditional school. I d rather homeschool cause thats too much trouble. I was homeschooled
    Id also make sure my kids have social interaction with true christians. Od try to take them to mass several times a week and adoration as well a confession.

    Id like to have 4-7 kids.

    A big happy family.

    I am almost 23. And what ever God wills for thats fine.

    What are yalls thoughts on this.

    My initial thought is that you are being called to be a mother. I only say this because your whole post was mostly about this path vs the religious life. That suggests to me this is what is in your heart. Now finding this man, sadly may be a challenge in the sense you may need to be patient and trust in God. What you desire in this modern world is very admirable!! I will join you in your prayers to know what God wants for you.

    Ditto.
    Keep praying the rosary. Say some novena prayers to the saints of your choice. St Anthony moved me down to this town, to St Anthony’s parish and after some years of my cluelessness I married my husband here in St Anthony’s. And we go to Mass there and sit in the same pew and life goes on.

    Well there are some good devout Catholic young men on this very forum who are looking for exactly the kind of wife you describe. Perhaps you have come to the right place :D.

    I am happily married and we have kids, soon three. My wife is a homemaker.

    I agree with all your views. You give me hope that young women are still good-hearted and sober-minded.

    Sounds like our Good Lord is calling you to married life. For finding a suitable man, I would suggest a Traditional Latin Mass parish.

    Be patient and wait for God's Voice. He always speaks best in silence. You have left so many doors open, which shows a generous and Faith filled heart.:)

    My own father one time was going on to be a brother in the De Montford Father and asked a priest what his vocation was to be.. the old priest answered, , leave the order and have a family..a nice big family!

    He left the Order and had ten children. :)

    I wouldn':)t be here if he hadn't.

    we met at our ladys shrine in ireland and both our petitions were to find suitable companions God did the rest..

    stay the course sister God will not let you down..

    ps I hope Rosary wielder is paying attention ;););)(y)(y):love::love::love::love::love:

    God has His timeline...if you pray everything will fall into place. Just don’t expect immediate understanding. Everything will happen in Gods timeline. You will one-day look back and be amazed of how God led you on this path.
