I'm hardly anti-marriage or family--in fact, I intend to stay at home for at least a few years after mini-Munches. I just understand that things don't always go as we hope--and I have to prepare myself for that.

I definitely agree with this.
I also just wanted to throw in here that I love Family and Consumer Sciences (the PC term for Home Economics) and plan to teach it after I graduate. Most people who major in FCS are NOT training to be housewives; there are a wide variety of jobs these students can fill.
