John-David Duggar on Marriage


"I don't know why [the girls] are so hung up on me finding a woman. It's like they want to get rid of me or something." (John-David Duggar)

"It's because he's 26." (Joseph Duggar)

In this deleted scene from Jill & Jessa: Counting On "Girls Hit the Road," Jana Duggar, Anna Duggar, Jessa Seewald, Jinger Duggar, and Joy-Anna Duggar catch up on sister stuff, including John-David's relationship status. Do you think John will be the next Duggar to wed?

  1. Marriage is not a guessing game for the public or anyone else to play, dear Duggars.

    1. Siblings tease each other about things like that. It's what they do.

    2. Weighing in from a family of 7 kids who were definitely not obsessed with teasing about weddings or future spouses. That fell into the None of Your Business category and would probably have been fighting words. These kids are way too into each others' personal lives and get some sort of weird thrill talking about it. Kind of like their father?

  2. You've got it! They really don't want to do your laundry. Now I believe a man of 26 should be on his own and is more than capable of doing his own cooking, cleaning, and laundry. But...as this does not appear to be part of Duggarville then get a wife.

    1. ...so that the wife has to do all of that? Maybe this just proves he isn't ready to get married.

      Delete
    2. No!! I do not believe the wife should have to do all that--the Duggars do...

  3. 26 is still very young, he has plenty of time if that is what he really wants..and besides we are to wait on the one God has for us...sometimes waiting is hard, but look how long Abraham and Sarah waited for a baby...

  4. Ahhhh, that's so exciting! Sounds like there really might be something going on! I'm thinking there's something we don't know about Jinger too.

  5. No. I think Jinger will be the next to wed with John David maybe not too far behind.

  6. I agree with John his sisters don't need to rush him in to getting married. When he's ready to find a women hill get one.
    My Dad didn't get married tell he was 47 years old. My Mom was 35 when they got married.


    I thing people get married to young. My sisters didn't get married tell they were 35.

    1. My Dad was 47 too when he married my Mom - she was 29! I got married 3 weeks before I turned 30, and my brother was 33.

  7. I think John-David and Jinger each have someone they are interested in... only time will tell :) I love the Duggars!

  8. John David needs to understand. We watched him grow up and we want each one of the children to get married and have children. Having said that, ultimately we want his true happiness. So if that takes a while then we will have to wait until he is ready to take that step.

    1. What if he never gets married? Will he have to endure that for his whole life?

  9. why worry about marriage at such a young age. set up own path goals in a real job and career frist, learn how to depen on self as well.

  10. Haven't they said that he can't move out until he's married? He can buy and own a separate home but can't live in it on his own? Needs that accountability partner or a spouse to be with him? And it's the same with the other boys, too? How unfair to a grown man is that?

    1. John-David is well beyond the age where he is not "allowed" to do or not do something. He is 26 years old. It's easy for him at home as he has no responsibilities. He doesn't work any kind of real job and his sisters do his cooking, cleaning , laundry etc. It's lazy. Those are not qualities for a good husband.

      Delete
    2. Yeah, because that worked out so well for Josh!?! Who needs an accountability partner? Don't they know God sees them when they are alone and what a person does when noone else is around is an important part of one's integrity? Let John David move out on his own! He seems like a guy who can manage on his own.

    3. Never heard that. He probably wants to stay at home. They have an awesome family, who wouldn't want to stick around? I'd love the chance to be a part of their family for a few days.

    4. Being a part of their family for a few days would only be fun if you could then write a tell-all book...

  11. I think it's nice his sisters want him to find someone. Everyone needs someone to love and love them. All in the Lords timing though, it's always perfect.

    1. At first It was fun to watch a family with many young children, but now that they are all growing up fast into adulthood, it is disappointing to see what they are all doing with their lives. The dialogues are quite boring now ..and repetitive. These young men have not much to say.....Financially, the parents had the chance to give their children great opportunities in education, but nothing was done/ such a waste- Really sad to watch.......
      I feel the Bates family succeeded far better.

    2. Surely those boys have other topics to discuss and talk about????? I hope for them.

  13. I know it isn't much compared to young men who can choose to go to college and pursue a career; but, at least the boys get to learn a trade or join the family business. The family focus for the girls seems to be making them attractive for possible suitors and fashioning them into homemakers and mommies. While motherhood and homemaking are honorable careers, it should be for those who desire it as opposed to those for whom there is no other choice.

  14. I know in their hearts the Duggars believe they are doing the best for their children. However, having adults living under the same roof, having their parents support them, making sure they only have friends who share the exact same beliefs...not doing them any good. It's a real bummer to see so many adults being supported by their parents.

    1. It's a shame that the Duggar girls seem not to be permitted to work outside of the home- at least they could learn a skill and earn money while they are waiting to marry.

  15. Really? Are we going to again get on the subject of John-David's love life or lack thereof? Is this our business? Don't you think it makes him feel uncomfortable?

    1. They - including John David himself, talked about it on their TV show. So, yes, they made it our business!

  16. I'm sure he just loves sleeping in the "boys room" at 26...

    ReplyDelete
  17. And I guess because of this he isn't attractive for young women. I wouldn't like my daughters have a relationship to a man of John-David's age who never had responsibility for his own life.

    1. That's not how things work in their social circles, though. He's probably considered "quite a catch."

  18. Really? I find thta odd, siblings and family in genderal pester one another about dating since the Duggars don't "date" in their case siblings pester about marriage but it's not all the strange.
