Jana Marie Duggar is so beautiful ... and put upon, supposedly, by a family that relies on her to help take care of the others but never have a life of her own. If that's true, it's sad. Is it time for her to break free?
Jana Duggar has some beautiful hair. Not that a guy will be able to see it up close as she's locked up at home raising her 16 younger sibs, but she looks great.
"We never pressured her and we never lost faith," Michelle wrote, adding, "We also never thought Jana would 'break away' from her family like some of y'all have said."
"Jana has finally met the man of her dreams and we can't wait for y'all to meet him too."
Little is known about the man who captured Jana's heart, but it's not hard to see why her parents are so excited.
Not only will he fit right in with a first name that starts with "J," he's already a member of a famous (and famously fertile) Christian family.
Jedediah "Jed" Rivers, is a distant cousin of San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers. Quite the coincidence, as Jana was rumored to be dating Tim Tebow last year.
"We had to laugh when the Tebow rumors started," Michelle wrote on Facebook. "Jana had already met Jed and we knew they would end up together from the first time they side-hugged."
There's no word on how long Jana and Jed have been an item or when they'll wed, but you can be sure they've been following the Duggar rules of courtship.
Dating means you're shopping around, says Jim Bob Duggar, while courtship is the path toward marriage. Courting is getting to know each other in a group setting, both families spending time together and the couple setting goals together to determine if they are meant to marry or not.
"Dating with a purposeful mind-set is really such a contrast from what we are used to seeing in our world," mother of 19 Michelle Duggar says. "Emotions get heated the closer you get. You're like two magnets being pulled together, you need boundaries. What is so great is to set boundaries together at the beginning of a relationship ... it sets up accountability."
Jill Duggar, 23, who married Derick Dillard in June, was happy to reserve her first kiss for the altar. She is not alone. The family is committed to only side hugs and no other touching until they are engaged, or even married. "Obviously, you can kiss and not have sex," Jill said. "It's about setting a higher standard so you don't struggle [with temptation]."
Before Derick and Jill began courting, she wrote a three-page list of questions for him, including no-nonsense queries about faith, family, drinking and smoking habits and more. If that sounds like an interrogation, that's because it was ... but it helped her realize what a perfect fit they were.
Jim Bob says he and Michelle have a weekly date. Even more, iIt's important to remember those things about your partner that are wonderful, and not just those that cause conflict or stress. "A great rule of thumb is to say 10 nice things to every one critical thing," says Jim Bob.
