How the Duggar sisters celebrated their husbands on Valentines Day

The Duggar sisters from 19 Kids and Counting Jill and Jessa are both happily married wives now, so come Valentine's day, the two of them celebrated their husbands in their own unique way.

Jill Duggar posted a wedding photo on her Instagram account (@jilldillard), where she raved about the virtues of her husband Derick Dillard.

"Everyday I thank God for my valentine! He is so caring, self-sacrificing, loving, Godly, sensitive, compassionate, passionate, humble, brave, strong, steady, fun, sweet...and on and on I could go!" she wrote. "God has blessed me beyond my wildest dreams by giving me you as my husband!"

She also quoted the Bible verses 1 Corinthians 13:13 and Proverbs 20:7, to sum up her feelings for her husband. The first verse says, "The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him" while the second reads, "So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."

Meanwhile, Jessa posted a kissing shot of her and husband Ben Seewald on her Instagram account (@jessaseewald). "Blessed beyond measure... So happy to be sharing our first Valentine's Day together married!" she captioned the photo.

Of course, the sisters' love did not go unappreciated by their husbands.

Derick prepared a romantic candlelight evening with some drinks, sweets, and Bible study. On his Instagram account (@derickdillard), he posted the photo with the caption, "Happy Valentine's Day from the Dillards!"

For his part, Ben also posted a kissing shot with his wife Jessa and wrote on his Instagram account (@benseewald), "I love my amazing bride! Wonderful day together with my bestie!"

Earlier, Ben and Jessa went on a date to celebrate Valentine's, and Jessa shared some interesting food shots. The first was a dish on fire she hashtagged The Flamin' Queso. The second was a video of Ben eating a dessert of chocolate and vanilla ice cream called The Chocolate Mess.

"Talk about sugar overload! But we love to share one of these on special occasions...such as Valentine's Day!" wrote Jessa.
