Genesis
In the beginning there was a young boy who was the first born of two lovers who had tried patiently for seven years. I recall my mother describing this time as the happiest of her life. As if something that had been dormant was awakened my mother had two other children over the next three years. As you can imagine they had time to make up since they had been married several years and trying for seven before they gave birth to their first. The magazines as you may know well tell women that they must have children before certain ages and the consequence if they do not can range from minor inconveniences to great abnormalities. The truth is that a child should be conceived out a great love and devotion of two people not because there is some sort of contrived task list and timeline. Children too often are born to couples who have bought into this timeline and at times much worse conceived as an attempt to reconcile something that is missing in a relationship. Whether male or female, married or single please take notice SLOW DOWN and find love before time lines and trumped up fears.
