One of the most heavily-scrutinized aspects of life in the Duggar clan is the courtship process by which young people find suitable spouses.
Casual dating, premarital sex, and divorce are all forbidden in the Duggars" world, so there"s a lot riding on every courtship.
Despite all that, the process moves fast — very fast.
Often, Duggars get engaged just a few weeks after they begin courting, and they"re married a few weeks after that.
So perhaps it shouldn"t come as a surprise that the family has its mate selection protocol down to a science.
Thanks to the folks over at Free Jinger, as of today, we know more about the process than ever before, and as you might expect, the whole thing is intensely creepy.
Without further ado, here are some of the more bizarre highlights from the list of 423 questions (!!!) that are presented to potential Duggar suitors.
It"s believed that both male and female courtship partners are forced to fill out the questionnaire, and of course, the responses are reviewed by Jim Bob himself:
1. Do you ever seek advice from others?

2. Who were your role models and heroes? For what reasons?

3. You are the result of the influence of which people?

4. What personality traits and/or strengths do you see in women/men you know that you would desire for your wife/husband to possess?

5. What do you read?

6. Would you be willing to die for Christ? If you’re not dying daily, how can you be so sure you would then?
