God wants you to know what a happy life feels like dear. Even in the midst of not getting things they way we expected. I hope you understand

* Are you happy and whole as a married person? (I've known several who aren't.)
Fifth time is the charm.
* Are you happy and whole as someone without kids?
I thank God daily that they no longer live in my house.
* Are you happy and whole as someone with only one child (why aren't you having more?)
I have nine, so... wouldn't know about this one. More? Heavens no.
* Are you happy and whole as parents of teenagers - who won't talk to you?
See above...
* Are you happy and whole as someone whose spouse has a chronic illness?
We're both healthy, and I thank God daily for that too.

My sincere thanks to you, @NightTwister, for taking on these questions.

I had been thinking about expanding that post into a full thread in the Family Forum -- and I'm very pleased that you were brave enough to answer -- even before an actual thread has been put up!

Thank you always for your insights and honest answers. :)

I truly feel these are the kinds of things we Singles need to hear more of regarding how marriage and family life really works out.

It says in the bible that God wants us to have life and to have in abundantly. Perhaps there is a certain measure of happiness in that abundance, and joy as well.

God did indeed say that it is not good for man to be alone.

I'm happy that I'm patient instead of making a very bad decision.
