Advice for Jon and Kate
- Hi Gosselin Family. Thanks for the shows. I love them, and want to see more, but not at the expense of your marriage. Please find time for each other. Stop the filming. Talk to each other or a counseler. If there is any love left, you have to salvage it, you guys are a match made in heaven, Please don't throw it all away. You are lovely people, with a lovely bunch of kids. You have been so blessed by God. Forgive each other and move on, you can love each other again. Get back what you had if you stop the touring Kate. Those eight kids love their parents so much. They didn't ask to be born did they? You are both great parents. Be great to each other as well. Don't let fame and fortune change who you are. Good luck to you all. I hope you can work it out. I can't bear the thought of you splitting up, and it isn't something you get over. It's very hard, like a bereavment, God bless you all. My prayers are with you at this sad time.

Don't Give Up
- Get counseling. Try everything before you give up on your marriage. It's not a fling, you married for life. If Jon cheated, we'll see if you can work beyond the fact that he was unfaithful. Maybe you both cheated. If so, now is the time to stop being so selfish and start thinking about your children. Put them first. They need a mother and a father, full time. Not part time. Then, search for the reason you both fell in love to start with and cherish each other. You have a wonderful bunch of kids and I wish you all well.

Everything Works Out!
- Everybody makes mistakes. If anyone thinks differently, then they believe they never make mistakes and probably blame everything on others. Accept you are not perfect and you will be making mistakes until you die. Forgive each other and be truthful. Don't read anything about you unless you gave permission. Your kids will make mistakes. Dont raise them believing they will not, or they will end in a worst condition that you are in. Love you guys. Kate, please attend to your husband as a wife should. Jon, respect your wife. You are a team. Don't forget that!

Stay Together
- I suggest you forget the world and all it offers and think about what you have. God gave you one another and eight beautiful kids. He did not say it would be easy but HE promises to be with us through EVERYTHING. Trust HIM to reveal the wrongs you have done to one another and to help you heal. Find a Christian counselor that can give you GODLY advice and not the advice of the world. You can forgive one another and build a marriage if you are willing to go through the pain! Those kids need a mother and father, not 2 moms and 2 dads! I have been on both sides and it is easier to stay together and work through the problems than to start over with someone else and all the new problems you will have! Love is not a feeling, it is an action and that is what will keep a marriage together...just wait till you feel it!

Unconditional Love Works
- Unless there is abuse going on, anything can be worked out. Love is a choice. You will either choose to love or not to. We all like to come up with excuses why we should divorce, the fact is no one is perfect. Look at your own faults and work on you - and I mean both of you. I am married 35 years with many bumps in the road. With wise counsel and taking time for each other and time away from the children, it will work. It takes love, time and patience, but if you are committed to each other it does work. I now have five grandchildren. Please do not be part of the break down of the home, be the glue. God Bless. hope, love, kindness and bearing each other burdens instead of being critical is much more positive and constructive. Divorce is more painful the you know. It is like a death but everyone is still around. Love changes things and people. Try it. God Bless.

Your Lives Together
- Chill already. It's really about the children. They are caught in the middle. Work on your marriage, forgive and get over it. Stay together if possible.

Move On and Take Care of Each Other
- Get off of TV and work on your marriage privately. You haven't had time to be husband and wife before you were a family. And you haven't had time to be a family before you were TV stars. You've made the mistakes, but you are real people not TV actors and nor are your children. This whole reality thing has gotten way out of hand. Learn from your mistakes, get the help you need, and work on your marriage.

Don't Give Up
- Talk to God. Forgive, Love. Remember all the wonderful times. Don't give up. Go back to being the real you. All this other stuff is fleeting. Your family is forever.

Broken Home
- Children would rather come from a broken home, than to live in one. The children deserve to have a healthy relationship with both of their parents, even if that means the parents live in separate homes. Try not to slander the other parents name in front of the children. That is not fair to them.

The grass isn't greener
- It is time to do what's best for the kids. And that is loving each other. Kate, you need to seriously consider therapy for your OCD issues. Jon, you need to love Kate when she is most unloveable. The kids deserve to live in a loving family and you have a great start. Do whatever it takes to stay together. Love is a decision, so decide to love each other, work on your flaws and be there as a united front for your kids. It's obvious you love your kids and each other. Having been divorced with little kids myself, I'm telling you it's not easy for them and definitely not for you. What a beautiful, precious family you have. Jon, you are adorable, and Kate, when your focus is on the family, so are you. The grass is never greener on the other side, no matter how it appears. Be grateful for the blessings you have in each other, and thank God for them daily. When you do that, you'll work it out. Good luck!

Privacy
- Get off the television and give yourselves a chance at yur life and marriage!! If hardened celeb's like Mr Gibson and Mr Cruise can't handle the llimelight, what made you think that two stressed out parents of 8(!) children could?!!! I know you probably did it for the financial assistance being on tv would bring to your family, but is it really worth the dissolution of all that you both held dear in each other and in your family until now??? Remember why you married each other in the first place and forget all of this ridiculous stardom crap, it will only bring you more misery than it's worth...it seems as though it already has! Take care of yourselves and of each other and those beautiful 8 children you have!!!

What to Do
- Perhaps you could talk to the Duggar family. They have lots of kids also and are also on tv. they seem to have a different emphasis on marriage and perhaps they could help.

No TV
