    I would love to read how your beliefs have matured and straight up changed over the years together. Some things mellow and others deepen. What are some of the things you once thought were the only way and now after some life experiences you no longer handle the same way. The television series never really allowed your personal faith and religious traditions to be showcased in a way that would minister to the public. Please impart your wisdom and lessons you have learned over the years.

    You both are amazing human beings. An example to the world. Always over come evil by doing good. These are very helpful rules.

    My husband and I have been married 41 years but together for 46 years. We were blessed with 2 daughters, after losing 3 we figured God was telling us something. We have 6 grands and 2 great grands with another on the way. My grand daughter Hannah and myself love your family. We watched you have your children and are now enjoying watching your children having children. They are all such a blessing.
