Jim Bob Duggar had one piece of advice for his daughter Jessa and her now-husband Ben Seewald as they prepared to get married last November.
Can you guess what this pearl of paternal wisdom was?
If you watch 19 Kids and Counting online, you know quoting from the Bible is standard operating procedure for Jim Bob. Last night was no exception.
The family patriarch told Jessa and Ben to "be fruitful and multiply." Interestingly, this comes on the heels of rumors that Jessa Duggar is pregnant.
Photo "evidence" above has certainly sparked a lot of speculation, and the duo has been married 5-6 months at this point. For Duggars, that's an eternity.
Unless Jessa is secretly on birth control (which has also been rumored), it stands to reason that she'll be with child before long. It's a fertile family.
Devoutly conservative Jim Bob telling Jessa and Ben to follow in his and wife Michelle's fornicating footsteps isn't as unlikely as you might think, either.
While sex before marriage (heck, even full frontal HUGS before marriage) is strictly prohibited in their family, once those vows are officially swapped?
Bodily fluids can and should be exchanged freely from that moment on!
The Duggar parents often accompany their kids on dates in order to maintain "accountability" and "keep things from going in the wrong direction," per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave "moral danger." When the parents aren't available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair.
Even in the kids' late teens and early 20s, mom and dad are creeping on their text messages. When Ben Seewald jokingly wrote to fiancee Jessa, "Give me a ring," Jim Bob actually jumped in on the group text, writing "No ring yet." With a smiley face emoticon. Seriously, he did that. Jim Bob needs his own Instagram so he can start posting screen shots of this stuff.
This moment you see here between Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard would not have been permitted until the couple was married. Side hugs are the preferred method of PDA in order to prevent any further temptation or hanky panky, as has been well documented on 19 Kids and Counting. The Duggars love their side hugs so hard. Any touching beyond that? Save it for your wedding night.
This is probably an obvious one if you know anything about the Duggars. The family does not smoke or drink. They do, however, enjoy the occasional sugary dessert or getting high on life and love.
Safe to say the Duggars are in the minority, having not read Fifty Shades of Grey (the movie adaptation of which they won't be seeing either, we're guessing). The Bible warns not to "think about gratifying the pleasure of the flesh," so instead the family studies Christian text and not E.L. James' erotic fiction. The Duggars' option is probably better-written.
Avert your eyes, Michelle Duggar! The family matriarch feels that dancing encourages "sensual" feelings, while Jessa Duggar has said that she feels modern music promotes "sex, drugs, all that type of stuff." Instead, the family chooses to play gospel music together.
Yes, seriously. There is Duggar-approved swimwear (it's conservative and not very revealing, spoiler alert) but when it comes to the beach, that's not happening. At all. Blame the general public. "It's just too hard for the guys to try and keep their eyes averted," Michelle explains. If we happened upon Kaley Cuoco doing beach yoga, we might see her point. But we also wouldn't complain.
Even if you took out the boozy parties and sexy nurses and cats looking to get frisky, Halloween would still be a no-go for the Duggars. According to the parents, magic and witches are "part of a demonic realm God wants us to stay away from," and this holiday qualifies. To each their own.
We don't actually know if there's a definitive rule against the use of birth control in the Duggar household, but it's clearly not something the family is thinking about, or using, ever. Just saying. Once those vows are exchanged, fornication and procreation tend to happen early and often, ensuring that the great state of Arkansas will never have a population shortage of really nice, quirky, family-first, side-hug loving human beings.
"Starting Saturday when you get married: be fruitful and multiply."
It's unclear how he feels about Jessa and Ben's plans to adopt, which they're adamant about, but JBD does not mince words when it comes to procreation.
"We look forward to their future family," Jim Bob added later.
Michelle also weighed in on her expectations for their future marriage, telling the cameras Jessa had better get busy ... in bed and being domestic.
"As the Lord blesses them with children, Jessa would really desire to be at home with kids ... so the majority of the cooking will probably be on her shoulders."
Jessa's response? "I've gotta work on some of these skills."
Hey, we can't all become perfect partners all at once.
