Given that they'd want to wait until Wedding Day just to kiss seems a bit much, especially considering that you'd be presumably going from first base to home run in a matter of hours. If it turns out well, that's fine. I just wouldn't want to take the risk.
Seems a stretch to me, but it’s their lives.
Kissing? It’s the restrictions on hand holding that seem especially ... odd.
I watched that show,....once. They all seemed a little off and the wife seemed a few watts short of a dim lightbulb. Can always tell by the affect and the eyes. But heck free to live you life as you want, kiss or no kiss. But one thing Duggars, one think you got to get...you cannot buy favor with God with strict adherence to doctrines and modalities of living. You cannot behave yourself holy. it’s what was done for you already not what you can do. So being super pious, ultra moral and using the words shucks and darn gets you no further in front of the line than a prostitute or penitent murderer or rapist. I know that irks some of you, but kinda the whole point of Christianity.
What you call risk, they call faith. What THEY call risk, is rejecting the faith!!!!!!!!
What do you spend 99% of your month doing? Kissing? Sex? Hand holding? Combined?
Kick the tires - talk and dream and laugh and WORK and just spend TIME together. Hotttttt!
