Everybody that followed "Counting On" knew about the volatile relationship that Jim Bob Duggar shared with his now son-in-law and former soccer player, Jeremy Vuolo.
Jinger and Jeremy were often spotted holding hands longer than it was permitted and engaged in full frontal hug, before they were married. This is the kind of stuff that one can call disobedient in conservative Christian Duggar family.
Now reports have emerged that as soon as Joy-Anna announced her courtship with Austin Forsyth, the ground rules were immediately set and the couple will undergo close scrutiny until marriage, reported Hollywood Gossip.
Being a couple in Duggar family means that they would have to observe the traditional rules of dating. A recent report revealed that in Austin's birthday celebration, the two lover-birds were accompanied by Jim Bob and Michelle.
The Duggar parents posted on their official Facebook page about the great time they had with Joy and Austin over the birthday celebration weekend. The couple also expressed their support for the couple's courtship.
This is not the first time that courtships in Duggar family are being supervised by adults. However, Joy-Anna and Austin will be subjected to closer watch, thanks to Jinger and Jeremy's reckless handholding.
The fans who can relate with the strict vows of chastity preached by the devout Christian Duggar family can now rest assured that there will be no bending of rules anymore. Joy-Anna will be chaperoned by her parents and intense boundaries will be reinstated.
According to the insiders, even though there were rumors about Joy-Anna and Austin long before they officiated their courtship, the couple is moving significantly slower than her older sister.
It has also been noted that the Duggar parents are not only making it stricter for Joy-Anna, than it was for Jinger, but they also waited a long time before they finally announced that couple's courtship.
From the looks it, as Jinger and Jeremy disregarded the strict courtship rules set by the family, Joy-Anna and Austin will be the ones to pay.
Next season of "Counting On" will feature Joy-Anna's courtship with Austin as the fans will be able to see how the couple holds up to strict courting rules set by Jim Bob and Michelle.
