It is nice to see there are still a few gentlemen left in the world, and Holm certainly appears like one of them.<\/p>\n
The show, and the world in general, has MORE than its share of arrogant cads but this guy clearly isn’t one of them.<\/p>\n
He spoke SO beautifully, it was difficult not to be touched by the things Holm said to Maynard throughout the show, especially in the finale.<\/p>\n
Holm even mentioned how God often puts the right people together.<\/p>\n
OK, so scoff at our over 50 percent divorce rate in the United States as proof to the contrary.<\/p>\n
That, in my opinion, is more OUR undoing as couples who let things like lust and money get in the way of what God wants for us:<\/p>\n
Happiness!<\/p>\n
Here’s hoping Emily and Jeff have found that and live happily ever after with her daughter Ricki.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
