Ask any one of the thousands upon thousands of college graduates in this country working for minimum-wage. All of the Duggar boys have been taught to work, and work hard. The older boys own their own businesses, and rental property and have any number of skills that can translate into a paying job and a way to take care of their family, should they get married. So, having a degree doesn't really have anything to do with what kind of provider they will be, end it has absolutely nothing to do with their moral character or the condition of their heart.Peejay815https://www.blogger.com/profile/00619990675266342020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-52292878736692635552016-09-21T12:00:15.628-05:002016-09-21T12:00:15.628-05:00I am 44 years old & was married for 21 years. ...I am 44 years old & was married for 21 years. From the time we were dating & throughout a good portion of our marriage my husband & I called each other Babe or Baby. It's an affectionate term of endearment, like Hon or Honey. I also have many friends in my age group who call their spouse Babe or Baby. Nothing demeaning or trashy about it! And to the person who said it was creepy when Gil & Kelly Bates hold hands or entwine their arms when they sit or walk beside each other, what a said commentary on your outlook on what a healthy relationship looks like. If more couples held hands or otherwise showed affection toward one another the divorce rate would probably be much lower. I see nothing creepy about it at all. They love each other very much & enjoy each others company! I'm amazed at the amount of hate directed towards these people. It seems like no matter what they do or don't do you would all find something wrong with it. Here's a thought...how about if you don't like this family, don't watch the show & don't take every opportunity to criticize & be hateful towards people who don't do things just like you would. You've obviously learned nothing from them about having a kind & generous spirit toward others!

All this talk about money makes me wonder did he already go thru all the money he made as a professional athlete? I mean for a minute there it looked like he was going to buy a pawn shop wedding ring for Jinger. It looks like money will be tight for them but "living on love" will sustain them. But if you think about it, none of the Duggar men have been able to maintain a full time career or even start out with one. Derick is the only one I know with a degree.

Not everyone is uncomfortable with seeing other people being affectionate towards one another. Usually if you feel that much discomfort there is something deep down inside that needs God's healing and purging. If the touching is perverted, that's different; however, I never saw anything perverted going on between Jeremy and Jinger. Sometimes because of our own deeply rooted issues we can interpret things through that cloggy filter and we perceive situations and people through a distorted reality instead of truth.1Corinth16.14https://www.blogger.com/profile/02017122612501956258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-8866961929794697732016-09-17T23:35:56.597-05:002016-09-17T23:35:56.597-05:009 years into my relationship with my husband.

At this stage of their lives he needs to be more a coach. I actually agree that they seem to be taking things too fast. I can't believe they would get engaged before she and her folks had travelled to Laredo and seen the area she would live and even what might be her first home. Does not mean I don't think they are right for each other long term. I think they probably are. But my husband and I are old enough to have moved around a lot and we always made sure to check the new places out before agreeing to move. Times when we have not have not always been so happy after the move. I do think they should slow down a bit and make sure they get things right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-55241486105620400572016-09-17T16:18:31.183-05:002016-09-17T16:18:31.183-05:00Jinger, When you live in Laredo, it might be benef...Jinger, When you live in Laredo, it might be beneficial to avail yourself of the college and junior college there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-55460193002107507982016-09-17T11:58:46.170-05:002016-09-17T11:58:46.170-05:00How long til Jeremy and Jinger have a larger churc...How long til Jeremy and Jinger have a larger church and a better place to live, thanks to things going on that Jim Bob facilitated behind the scenes?

And for goodness sake, their relationship is new - of course she's infatuated and excited and a bit OTT. Jeremy doesn't seem to have any problem with it, he seems pretty enthusiastic himself. Why would they be getting married if he had a problem? And no doubt that will all settle and become more mellow in time . That seems the case for Jill and Derrick, and they seem a great and genuinely happy/loving couple. In any case - isn't it *their* relationship, not yours? And yes, I'm a grown woman with experience too.
