The Duggar Family's Most Bizarre Moments Since Their TLC Show

Publish date: 2024-05-02

As fundamentalist baptists, the Duggars expect their children to follow all kinds of rules, including abstaining from sex or certain types of physical contact before marriage. In the book "Growing Up Duggar," Jinger Vuolo (née Duggar) and her sisters compared premarital sex to "playing in the street" and getting "hit by one of the many semi-trucks that drive past our house." They also warned young women to protect their "purity." 

On the "Behind the Scenes" podcast, Jinger's husband, Jeremy Vuolo, discussed the topic of "purity" from a married man's point of view. "Very early on, from the moment we were married, I wanted Jinger to be in with me on the battle for purity," he said, further explaining that he likes to keep Jinger abreast of his temptations, as that helps keep them in check. "It builds her trust. Because she begins to think, 'If he's struggling, he's gonna let me know, and I can fight with him," he continued. 

How exactly does Jinger help? Well, in addition to providing a sympathetic ear, the couple has an arrangement in which Jeremy (who is quite active on social media) doesn't keep the apps for Instagram or Twitter on his phone. If he wants to post anything, he needs to use his wife's phone, thereby limiting "the temptation of the internet." Well, whatever works?
