Marriage is marriage. Sacred vows given to each other and not meant to be broken. I used to watch Jon and Kate as well, because in the beginning it was a cute show about two very in love people trying to get by. Then it started to get more and more about them and all the endorsements, and Kate treating Jon like crap, and that's when I lost interest. I wasn't surprised it didn't work but it is definitely sad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07457108353179949633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894639553073359896.post-88444247650417528282010-07-17T15:52:27.097-07:002010-07-17T15:52:27.097-07:00I never liked the interaction between John and Kat...I never liked the interaction between John and Kate, but always thought it was just the exhaustion, etc of parenting 8 little people. And really who doesn't have those grumpy moments with their husbands. I felt almost cheated when they threw in the towel, as Christians living our faith, we are meant to honour our marriage vows. It made me so sad to see the world taking the forefront in their relationship, not God or their children. My heart aches for all of them and I pray for healing, especially for the kids.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450443439870553260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894639553073359896.post-8499020424752400812010-06-21T12:50:49.618-07:002010-06-21T12:50:49.618-07:00So true!

The women emasculate the men; the men demean the women.. and it's a vicious cycle. So glad that we have resources (thanks for sharing the book!) to help us get a better perspective on how to have a strong, God-honoring marriage.Mama Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916996711339244232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894639553073359896.post-579461876545809812010-05-12T20:26:41.109-07:002010-05-12T20:26:41.109-07:00I was also bloghopping and found your blog.

My husband is still the love of my life after all these years, but believe me, not every single moment has been fodder for a Hallmark card! The key is commitment. Once in Hawaii for an anniversary, someone put a microphone to my husbands mouth and asked him our secret to a long marriage. My love, my dearest friend, didn't say how much he loved and cherished me. He said, "Well, we both made a promise all those years ago...and we keep our word." That's it. Short, sweet, and wraps it up in a nutshell. We still love each other...but it was the commitment to a promise that we made to God and to each other that has kept us strong...and happy. Love your blog...nice to read about young Christian families raising their families!Deb from WhatsInMyAttichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126246734744950335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894639553073359896.post-15951622482121716252010-05-12T12:47:13.449-07:002010-05-12T12:47:13.449-07:00Hi there,

It is really sad that they didn't I know for sure that they could have, especially with God on their side.<br /><br />Another sad part to it is that they just gave the world another reason to look suspiciously at Christians. But that just means that we have to get out there and work just as hard for Him. We have to let people know we aren't perfect. People fail. And people definitely shouldn't judge a whole group based on such a situation as theirs. <br /><br />p.s.

I too feel very sad for both of them and especially those 8 babies caught up in it all.<br /><br />I'll definately check out that book. I'm currently reading Having A Mary Spirit by Joanna Weaver.

I knew from the media (aol to be exact) about their breakup but never had watched the show. She really does disrespect him a lot on that show-I was cringing watching.<br /><br />Also, I read "Created To Be His Help Meet" as well and couldn't help but think of that as I watched.<br /><br />Truly humbles me, just a reminder to be on guard.

She could have been such a positive role model for young Christian girls and they could have shown the world a view of a Godly marriage but she went against her husband where their money, fame, and reality show was concerned (sadly with the help of her ex-preacher dad) until their marriage was no more. After making such a big issue out of the fact that she was saving herself for marriage I wished she would have worked harder at keeping that marriage. They broke my heart!charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364617168937019347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894639553073359896.post-56898296018960976762010-03-10T14:12:04.234-08:002010-03-10T14:12:04.234-08:00Finally someone agrees with me!

He didn't handle it correctly however, which just made the whole situation awful. Those poor children are left with two selfish parents who only care about their fame.
