Most devoted fans of sports teams are quite vocal at expressing criticism of the players, coaches, or front office staff for making mistakes, being lazy, etc. <br /><br />But a fan of a sports team would never consider dropping the team completely even if they are in last place in the division, have traded away all their best players, etc. They would certainly not switch their allegiance to another team. And ideally in marriage that is also the case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-54509130552768657582018-07-18T12:33:32.146-05:002018-07-18T12:33:32.146-05:00Her name is still Meghan.

Biblically, I will love and encourage him. I will gently and respectfully confront him, in love, when he is wrong as the Bible instructs- as I expect him to do with me. I will practice "doing him good, not harm, all the days of my life"- as I expect him to do with me. I will not act as though he is a king and somehow beyond reproach- that's not Biblical. Nor would I marry a man whose self-esteem is so fragile that he would need my constant adoring fan-worship. That's not the Biblical picture of maturity or mature love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-74275014301289404062018-07-17T17:47:16.733-05:002018-07-17T17:47:16.733-05:009:50 am, The Duggars are on TLC and promote the ne...9:50 am, The Duggars are on TLC and promote the network.

You cannot compare it to an off-the-rack dress that Lauren chose from an Arkansas bridal salon. If you saw the two dresses hanging side by side, you'd know immediately which one was couture. The fabric, the cut, the finish would give it away. I guarantee you Meghan's gown was flawless inside and out. <br /><br />I know someone who helped with the making of several of Megan's mother's dresses for that weekend's events. I've seen the samples. I've held the fabric. Oscar de la Renta.

It happened in his car at the curb. I'm sure my mom was watching out the front window of the house. How romantic, huh. It didn't matter - we're still together 45 yrs. later and that's what counts, not some fireworks kiss that we saved up til the altar.

They know a lot of people with large families. Also people get their feelings hurt if they were invited to one wedding but not the next. Most people I know also invite everyone they go to church with as well which includes adults and children. <br /><br />It really doesn’t matter who we would invite. It is their weddings, and they get to choose.

Love is more important to women and respect is more important to men. God who created men and women put that in His Word to help us better understand each other. As someone who has been married almost thirty years, I can attest to the fact that these things are true. I try to always encourage my husband and let him know he is wonderful and my best friend. He in turn does the same for me and let’s me know I am truly loved. He tells people we are still on our honeymoon.
