My experience was a lot like yours, but I do have one question: How do you know what God intended? This opens up quite a can of theological worms for me, and since you brought it up, I have to wonder why.
What I was told is in the science is that we are at least half our genes. And looks, medical history, and mannerisms are not a very small part. That includes ALL the physiological structure of your body and all the chemistry. Not just a tendency to get cancer, but a tendency to get mad. Not just the height of your father, but the kind of girls he liked as well. From what I've seen of how different me and my sister are from each other and our parents, I have to think that it's certainly got a bigger impact than I thought.
It's one of the reasons I really want children. And since I tried the Husband way (and just got out of my third failed attempt), and I am not willing to believe God doesn't intend for me to have a family, then I'm willing to think maybe I'm going about it the wrong way, and should open myself up to a wider variety of understanding.
