Also: What beauty routines do Michelle and the other females use to look so good-Do they diet? Also Anna is getting better looking all the time. Does TLC offer her styling advice? or Skin Care routines? <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-22536198943954869022014-12-10T11:13:25.997-06:002014-12-10T11:13:25.997-06:00dear madison,

In fact, the reason you court is to FIGURE OUT if they are 'the one.'<br /><br />When you are courting someone, you are exploring the option of marrying them. If you start to feel that this person is not the one you should marry, you end the courtship.<br /><br />Courting is more serious and goal-oriented than dating is. With dating, you sometimes don't know your partner's intent or end goal. Some people date just to date, or they date the kind of people they don't want to marry.<br /><br />In my generation (I am 24), a lot of the people I know are part of the 'hook up culture,' where they hook up with people but they aren't pursuing real relationships that will end in marriage. Which is why I chose to court, and it worked out for my husband and me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-28206602371625981522014-11-20T01:49:34.069-06:002014-11-20T01:49:34.069-06:0026 For behold, it is not meet that I should comman...26 For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.<br /><br />27 Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;<br /><br />28 For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves.

They don't attend high school or college, they don't work outside the home, they don't do sports or hobbies, or clubs. They attend home church rather than a church where they might meet someone. All of these are the standard non-bar ways to meet people. God helps those who help themselves, and the 'right one' can't just walk up to the Duggar home and ring the doorbell. mythoughtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17115280687829230524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-49469953451261815032014-11-19T17:58:50.842-06:002014-11-19T17:58:50.842-06:00They do.

But Jim Bob needs to present many suitors to her now because if she waits too many more years, she may not be able to have as many children as she would like. Fertility greatly decreases after 30 if you have not had children before then. Jana seems like a second mother to her siblings and may be so attached she does not want to leave them to start a family of her own. She can always live close by yet still marry and have her own children. If not, then she should be allowed to study to become a nurse (I heard her say on one show she wanted to do this) or choose a profession. At 24, one should not be home all day, regardless of how much you are helping out at home. You should either marry, go to school or have a profession or work. P.S. She would make a wonderful nurse, perhaps a nurse/midwife.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
