Duggar Dating: Jill And Derick Dillard Talk ‘Logistics’ Problems With Courting, Glad Chaperones Are Gone [Video]


Jill and Derick Dillard recently sat down with Erin and Greg Smalley from Focus on the Family to discuss marriage and babies. Though the pair has only been married a few short months, the couple is expecting their first child and has experienced some major changes in their relationship since their courtship started.

Greg Smalley asked Jill exactly how married life has been for the famous couple. He asked if there have been any challenges, changes or surprises. Derick starts the conversation by stating that everything has been great. He even went so far as to say it was the “best days of our lives.” However, Jill was quick to point out that the relationship has changed significantly since their wedding.

Jill notes that the couple decided to follow strict guidelines during their courtship and engagement to ensure their relationship was Christ-centered. Part of those guidelines included having a “second pair of eyes” anytime the couple wanted to go on a date or meet with one another. This meant that the pair would have no alone time together prior to their wedding. Both Jill and Derick noted that the chaperone for the date needed to fully understand the couple’s pre-established standards.

However, as Jill points out, sometimes this caused “logistics problems.” The couple was unable to have an impromptu ice cream date, instead they would need to find a chaperone to come along. If they couldn’t find a last-minute chaperone, they had to skip the outing altogether. Both Jill and Derick noted that this was one of the best parts of their relationship now, they can see each other whenever they want. If they want to go get ice cream, they can simply go. The couple also noted that they were taking advantage of the freedom now. With their first baby already on the way, the pair knows that they will soon be seeking out babysitters if they want alone time.

Fortunately for Jill and Derick, the Duggar clan is full of experienced babysitters that aren’t too far away.
