Whole Lotta Love


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.
