The Truth About How The Duggar Sisters Met Their Husbands

The Duggar sisters are no strangers to reality television, having appeared on 19 Kids and Counting and its spinoff, Counting On. The older Duggar sisters have even dated on camera. Well, sort of. Rather, they "courted." Given this, how the Duggar sisters met their husbands is pretty interesting. One of the biggest things that sets the Duggar family apart from the mainstream world is their belief in the courtship process. Anyone who has seen an episode of 19 Kids and Counting or Counting On knows that the Duggar family doesn't date. Rather, they court, and their version of courtship comes with rules. In an interview with Today, the heads of the Duggar family, Jim Bob and Michelle, explained why they value courtship. Jim Bob said, "Courtship is really waiting for the one God has for you and praying through the whole process." Michelle added, "It's really examining the person and considering, 'Would this be the guy I want to be the father of my kids?'" But as nice as that sounds, in order for the Duggar sisters to enjoy a courtship, there are rules. As the Duggars told Today, the two lovebirds must never be left alone, their texts aren't private, and they can't hold hands or kiss. And to begin a courtship, you have to ask Jim Bob first. The entire process might seem outdated, but it seems to work for them.
