19 Kids & Counting is a reality
TV series on TLC. It centers on the Duggar family. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have
been married for twenty-eight years and have been a growing family of nineteen.
The couple had their first child,
Josh four years after the two got married on July 21, 1984. Now Jim Bob and
Michelle Duggar have nineteen children. The forty-five year old said she’s
spent fourteen years of her life pregnant.
Their show on TLC reveals how
religious they are. The Duggar family is considered to be conservative
Christians. Michelle Duggar attended a conference to speak out to Christian
women about marriage.
Some opposed her thoughts and
beliefs to a successful marriage. "Husbands are commanded to govern their
wives; God works through a man's decisions — good or bad; Bad decisions reveal
his needs and allow the wife to appeal and demonstrate Godly character; The
more a wife trusts her husband, the more careful he will be in giving her
direction; Never ask others for counsel without your husband's approval;
reassure your husband that you understand and believe that he is your God-given
leader.”
She talked about what her
successful marriage was based on. However, it raised some eyebrows. It may seem
like she enables her husband to take control, but who are we to judge. Her
family is successful and has stuck to their faith.
The Duggar Family is an example of
the groups discussed in class. They are viewed as a primary group for being very
close and helping each other stick to their beliefs. The Duggar family is also
an example of a reference group, because the spouses motivate people of the same
religion to achieve a successful marriage and family. The show reveals how
positive they intend to be.
