The above picture is of my college friends and me at Jan’s wedding (the bride) a few months before my wedding in 1980! (I am the second one from the left.) All of us only wanted to be wives, mothers, and homemakers. We went to college because that was what we were supposed to do in order to prepare for a career. None of us wanted careers. Four of us graduated from college. The other two dropped out after a year. They had enough! They went home and married men from their hometown.

The bride and I met our husbands at college. We married shortly after graduating from college. The other one married a man I had introduced her to a year later. We all married in our early twenties. We began having children shortly afterwards. We are all grandmas now and loving our grandchildren. We are all still married to the men of our youth except one who lost her husband to brain cancer soon after their third son was born. She married another man about five years later and has been married to him since. Not one of us has been divorced. We are all covenant keepers!

One woman wrote to me and told me she knew a counselor at BIOLA University. It stands for Bible Institute of Los Angeles. When she privately met with the young women who were attending the college, they all told her that all they wanted to be was a wife, mother, and homemaker. Women feel so pressured by our culture and even our churches to do what God has not asked them to do. Then when these young women tell the truth, they’re met with a bunch of what if…? questions. Culture wants young women to live in fear rather than by faith.

When we attended Westmont College, it was affordable. Most graduated without any debt. It seemed a logical thing to do after high school. Everyone was doing it. All I wanted was to be in a home of my own. I didn’t like dorm life, the food, the noise, nor the classes. The friends in the picture above are the only thing I loved about college, and that I found my husband there. But most of them didn’t. Now, college is crazy expensive, indoctrination centers, and have taken women far from the will of God. God doesn’t need you to spend an exorbitant amount of money and go deeply into debt to find a husband for you!

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
1 Corinthians 3:19
