Jon and Kate Plus 8: Learn from Them

There are many people who are concerned about the way that Kate speaks to Jon. I for one am one of them. I am concerned for their marriage. I would hope that it can last. It makes me wonder if there isn't some hidden anger somewhere on her part. One can only speculate what the cause might be. Again though, maybe Kate doesn't even realize that she acts likes she does.

The important thing though is that all of us can learn from their situation. If we sit back and watch, we can learn how we would want to be responded to in similar situations. When we see that Jon gets angry or his feelings hurt, it should make us stop and think about the way that we handle ourselves with loved ones. We need to start analyzing ourselves and asking questions about our relationships. Are we demeaning to others? Are we selfish and uncaring? Do we spout off and not think about what we are saying before we say it? I believe that all of us need to learn to elevate each other. This can take some practice though. As we all know, it is easier to think about the negative instead of the positive.

With this being said, we need to also focus on the positive things that we can learn from this couple. The first positive thing that I can say about this couple is that they do have a great way of disciplining their children. The children know that they are not to get up out of time-out unless they are told that they can. Obviously, the parents have a firm handle on their children. The second positive thing that I can say about this couple is that they do all that they can to make sure that each child is seen as an individual and has individual time. Third, and very important, both parents are involved in their children's lives.

There are many things that we can learn from Jon and Kate. The important thing is that we all realize that none of us is perfect and that we all need to grow. All of us have flaws that we need to work on. My hope for this beautiful couple is that they will endure and will work on the things that can hinder their relationship. I would love to see them stay together forever.
