I wonder why he never once brought her to his home to meet Mary and the children. I can understand her not being at the wedding as that was so hurried, but certainly there were other opportunities to invite her to stay a few days and meet his family.

There may have been reasons relating to Mary for that. We don't know.

Why do negative reasons have to always be attributed to Mary? Perhaps Sarah did not wish to travel to the 'city' or was too frail to travel.
The only fact that is known is that Sarah and Mary never met. We will never know why. We also know that the two women had some communication through letters, for one letter from Mary to her mother-in-law has survived.
