Jinger Duggar Was 'Fearful' Entering A Relationship With Her Now-Husband, Jeremy Vuolo

Many of these rules were normalized on the show and largely accepted by fans as a different but interesting way of life. While the Duggar children took marriage seriously, they often looked for a spouse within their social circle because it ensured agreement on those unique convictions. Interestingly, Jinger Duggar recognized that she and Vuolo shared similar values but questioned how the differences in their upbringing could work.

According to Us Weekly, Duggar was hesitant to pursue a relationship with Vuolo because he was "outside of [her] world." In the cult-like environment that she was raised in, the thought of dating an outsider created a lot of fear. However, Duggar was quickly won over, after agreeing to a date with Vuolo, because she could see how devoted the pastor was to God.

Beyond connecting over their love of scripture, Duggar also noted that she felt "so safe" with him and realized that despite coming from different worlds, Vuolo embodied all the qualities she had hoped for in a husband. After asking for Jim Bob's blessing, the couple ended up getting engaged on a New York rooftop in July 2016 and were married three months later.
