The famously fertile Duggar family from TLC’s Counting On has made a name for themselves for following a strict set of rules when it comes to romance. Those rules all basically boil down to one: no physical romance until after you’re married. Period. Which could possibly explain why the Duggar kids like to get married so young, although I’m just guessing here. Not that their parents are complaining; Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar actively take a role in their kids love lives once they’ve met the person who will one day be their spouse. But how do the Duggars even meet their spouses in the first place?
Every couple has their own specific story of how they first met, of course, but the Duggar family does tend to adhere to a certain pattern of behavior when it comes to falling in love. For instance, if a boy happens to show an interest in one of the Duggar daughters, he has to go through dad Jim Bob Duggar before moving forward.
