Ben Seewald is so enamored with his pregnant wife Jessa Duggar from 19 Kids and Counting that he has no doubt that she would be "an amazing mother" to their first born child.

Last Sunday, he and Jessa felt so grateful to have celebrated their first Mother's Day as an expecting couple. He said he is "a little late in posting, but I had a wonderful Mother's day with my Mom and wife!"

For Jessa, Ben wrote to her, "You're already an amazing mother! I love you and our little one on the way!" As for his own mother Guinn and his father Michael, he thanked them for always seeking to please God in raising him and his siblings.

"They've been loving, caring, and provided us with a good home and many happy memories," he wrote on his Facebook page. "While many parents are abusing their children, earning the condemnation of God, my parents have always been protective of us and by God's grace have made our home a safe haven."

Ben said it would have been easier for his parents to just let him and his siblings do whatever they wanted to do in life, but they loved them too much not to impose Godly standards.

"That's a lot to say in this culture where parents who care enough to set standards for their kids are mocked and dishonored and where the ones who yield to their rebellious children in compromise are praised as 'loving,'" he said.

Ben considers the love of Jesus Christ as the greatest gift his parents have passed on to their children, and he is thankful that he grew up in a home where his parents constantly read the Word of God to their children, brought them to church, and taught them to grow in the faith.

"They have given me a vision for eternity, by the grace of God, so that my life wouldn't be wasted, or my eternity damned. Their prayers, guidance, and companionship I cherish to this day," said Ben.
