Is Ben Seewald the perfect husband? His wife Jessa Duggar, star of 19 Kids and Counting seems to think so as she posted several pictures on her Instagram account (@jessaseewald) gushing about what a great partner Ben is.

She posted an intimate letter written by Ben and captioned it, "He writes the sweetest love letters... You're a gem! I'm so blessed to be your wife!"

The photo showed Ben's neat penmanship as he wrote, "When you smile at me, it takes my breath away, like my heart has been touched by an angel. Your eyes sparkle like the first stars on a dark night. Your smile brightens my spirit like the first gleams of sunrise after a crisp Autumn night in the Arkansas Ozarks. But the most wonderful thing about when you smile at me, is that it shines forth radiant beams of warmest love and affection...it's worth a thousand words, even the most eloquent words of affirmation. Your smile could melt the age old ice cap of Antartica. I love you more than fondest words and fair speech can express."

The photo has received over 63,000 likes but a lot of people criticized Jessa for sharing such a private letter and Ben for his exaggerated descriptions.

"While I agree Ben's penmanship is notable, can we talk about the content here? Like the overuse of comparison and the ridiculous descriptions. It's a bunch of cheese," someone commented.

Another said, "Things like that are special and should be kept between spouses. You don't have to involve the media in your whole life." Someone else thought that Ben was "unsophisticated and trite."

Ben does not only write love letters to please his wife, but also does his part in the home. Jessa earlier posted a photo of Ben cooking and wrote, "My man is making supper tonight! He's such a Sweetheart! #Spoiled #BestHusbandEver"

She later posted a photo of his pasta meal and said she was blown away by the presentation. "And yes, it tastes as good as it looks! My husband is an awesome cook!" she captioned it.
