Also, while Juno (aka Hera) was the goddess of marriage per Greek/Roman myths, her own marriage to Jupiter/Zeus, a serial cheater who was also her brother, isn't exactly what most women these days would sign up for.

The pro and con posts are equally important to the discussion. A lot of posters bring life experience to the table to share. We can agree to disagree when it comes to the Duggars' lifestyle choices, without being disagreeable with one another. We should respect that someone else can and often does have a different opinion. The fact that so many post about these very young couples says that many people care about these young people, which is a good thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-18654907986594032532018-05-08T17:17:02.428-05:002018-05-08T17:17:02.428-05:00Try being engaged to a military man, with Uncle Sa...Try being engaged to a military man, with Uncle Sam dictating how long your engagement will have to be.

A large percentage of marriages don't make it past the 5 year mark because the couple brought the baggage to the marriage (an even greater number don't make 10). When the dysfunction is your normal, you can't always see that it's dysfunctional, Nor are you aware that you're going to tend to default to that in your own relationship because it's a learned response. That's not something most couples are aware of when they're dating- nor is it covered in most pastoral counseling sessions (especially when the future-in-laws appear to be such fine, upstanding Christians and so involved in their Church). We got the counseling and and are so grateful. Unfortunately, many of our friends that we love and care about did not and their 20-25 year marriages are on shaky ground (staying together for the kids). You're going to spend a lifetime together, God willing, you need to be able to sit down together (just the two of you) and talk about what you like or dislike about your parents' marriage and the way they do things and what you want your marriage relationship to be. With a third party, there's too much pressure to uphold the family image/reputation, bury/minimize the family secrets, or put your best face forward to "win" the person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-77034513256584071332018-05-07T13:04:34.319-05:002018-05-07T13:04:34.319-05:00They had curtains put up outside all the weddings....They had curtains put up outside all the weddings. If they had a security lapse and people got pictures, then it was the wedding planner's fault. Besides, you can't stop the public from being on a public street or sidewalk for those long shots from outside the security zone. Not one wedding date yet has been kept a complete secret. Some guest has always leaked it. Games people play, huh.
