HOLY INSTITUTION
To the Editor: Mr. John B. Palmer, from his bachelor's viewpoint, just doesn't see marriage at all. I have been happily married for thirty-five years and still regard marriage as a holy institution. My husband and I were mere children at the time of our marriage. We now have eleven fine sons and two lovely daughters--ranging in age from fourteen to thirty-four. To complete the circle there are twenty grandchildren--including three lovely two, three, and four year old girls, adorable one-year-old twins and a darling three-year-old redhead. To be sure, things have not always been easy--but you have to accept the |
bitter with the sweet. With seven sons in service I learned to suppress my anxiety and emotions and look a head to the time our boys would be home.
I look forward to our children bringing our in-laws home--all of whom call me "Mother." I agree with Mr. Palmer that marriage is "bondage"--but for me a happy one. I may have been "baby-burdened," but there is no burden too heavy if you have faith and love and the ability to share and do a lot of wishful thinking. Today I am very proud of my happy, healthy, successful children and can say that truly God has blessed our marriage. MRS. JOHN B. ELLIS SR. - Goldsboro 1959 ■ |
