I feel they have lived a sheltered life, away from the public and the normal lifestyle! It is good they have found another person that is just as sheltered and innocent. I love the show, but as soon as they aired the courtship of Joy and Austin, I cringed a tad bit!

They are so innocent, almost to innocent. Don't get me wrong, I love the Duggars, but I think after Jess and Bens weddings, that was enough for me to see, the ret need to grow up a tad bit more before they are in a serious relationship! If this is the path they want to do, then good, but I sure hope that it isn't a quick one to the marriage bed!

Did she have multiple boyfirends? Not that those are a bad thing, the the Duggar girls all have convictions to meet "the one" and to work with them to follow the lord faithfully and utmost.They are all clearly enamored with their partners and that is amazing! There would not be as many divorces and cheating in the world if all couples are in love and beautiful as the duggar children have.

The issue for me was not for Austin as much as the two Duggar boys she then went on to interview wearing the same tight top. TLC and the interviewer know in depth at how modest the Duggars are, and yet she is sitting there, leaning over, pushing her enormous bosoms into their face. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know how uncomfortable the boys would have felt and TLC should be ashamed of themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-49770495374649489612017-02-28T00:26:33.722-06:002017-02-28T00:26:33.722-06:00I wonder why Jana doesn't courtI wonder why Jana doesn't courtNOYBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702163873562034845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-4985802204121493302017-02-25T09:47:26.464-06:002017-02-25T09:47:26.464-06:00To Anonymous 11:47 am.

I'm a Jew, and can cook some fabulous food that meets all the kosher guidelines, but my religious relatives still won't eat it, because my home, sink, counter, dishes, and cookware are not kosher. I believe the Muslim halal laws are similar, but I'm not sure.<br />Regarding the interviewer's clothing choice, they went to her place of business for this interview, etiquette in this case requires them to be respectful of her standards while in her place of business. Had the interview been conducted in the Duggar home, etiquette would require the interviewer to dress in a manner that is respectful to their standards. The concept is quite basic, really. <br />I think the blouse is ugly, personally, but I don't think it's especially revealing.<br />If you really want something to be upset about, why don't you think about how many children have been killed in Aleppo recently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-91022776513753354732017-02-25T08:46:08.235-06:002017-02-25T08:46:08.235-06:00Or just wait for the right personOr just wait for the right personVanessaBoguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17114728207492669637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-45611848447227478492017-02-24T21:35:07.980-06:002017-02-24T21:35:07.980-06:00Yo, everyone needs to calm down.

I really don't understand why focus on this issue. The law in Arkansas on marriage is:<br />Males and females shall reach the age of 18 years to contract for a marriage license in Arkansas. Males age 17 or females ages 16 or 17, may be married with parental consent.<br /><br />Nothing in the law that indicates they need to know each other any specific amount of time.<br /><br />As for what they will be doing mission work seems to be the family work. Jill and Derrick, Jinger and Jeremy and from what I understand from the show Ben is studying theology. <br /><br />What is apparent is that we are all enjoying watching the show to see what is next. Joy Anna's marriage? Will Jana start a courtship?

They are still in the Courtship stage of getting married. So leave them be let them get to know one another. If Michelle and Jim Bob didn't think Joy Anna couldn't handle a Courtship they wouldn't have approve them to enter into a Courtship they know if their daughter is ready for this step in her life. They trust their daughter I've always noticed that Joy Anna has a good solid head on her head that she pretty, smart, and good looking she is mature. I think that he is handsome, smart, ready to follow Gods leading and if it's to get to know one another in the possibility to get married so be it. Yes they are 19 years old and that's young to us but they have many people supporting them and advising them through this time as the get to know each other and fall deeper in love with each other and with God together as a couple. On March 2nd my parents will be celebrating their 60th Anniversary and my mom was 18 yrs old when they got married and was still in High School in fact my Dad had to sign her final report card before her graduation now that's young. She had her first baby at age 19. So in my opinion Joy Anna is old enough at almost 20 yrs old to make her own decision about her future love. I pray it works out for her personally. They are a great couple! Congratulations Austin and Joy Anna as your love continue to grow.

A large number of young marriages (but not all) fail because the parties involved are neither psychologically nor emotionally mature enough to care for another person's wants and needs above their own. Some "older" marriages fail for the same reason. Growing older doesn't always equate to growing up maturity-wise. Having said that, many young people have been raised in a culture of self-indulgence, entitlement, and self-gratification. They're taught that the most important thing is to love themselves, express themselves, and their personal happiness is the goal. They often know little about personal responsibility, self-sacrifice, and perseverance- many long established employers, tenured teachers, and tenured college professors will attest to this. It's human nature for people to put their best face forward trying to win the other person. Many people pretend to be /mold themselves into everything their intended is looking for, only to tire of or drop the act after the I Do's. That's defrauding the other person. They're not getting what you sold them. It's far better to take your time and make sure you're compatible with the same values and goals, see that person through several seasons (a year or more), in different situations and pressures. After all, you're going to have a lifetime together, God willing...and no one sets out to be "stuck" in a bad marriage.
