The stars of "19 Kids and Counting" have been known to spout pieces of advice for romance. While the family has been quite silent in social media as of late, it appears that they might be making a comeback soon - at least in terms of giving out relationship advice to their fans and followers. According to E Online, the first member of the family to break his social media silence on the love department is none other than Jessa Duggar's husband, Ben Seewald.
In a social media post, the soon-to-be father shares a dating advice to his followers particularly the women. For reasons undisclosed, Seewald took it upon himself to warn the ladies of the ways by which some men might take advantage of their virtue and advised them to only be with those who actually intend to commit in the long run. He wrote on Instagram, "Ladies...watch out for dudes that want to date you, but have no intention whatsoever of any serious relationship."
Seewald then pointed out that some men simply lure women into relationships to satisfy their physical urges. He said, "A lot of guys want to enjoy you and play with your heart and emotions with no commitment or responsibility on their part. They're thinking 'Why do I need to commit? I'm getting what I want...and when I get tired of her I'll just move on to the next girl I can use.'" This line, according to Inquistr, hints on Seewald's belief that men and women should not engage in intimate activities prior to marriage - that is, abstinence should be practiced.
Jessa's hubby then reiterated his warning, telling the ladies to take care of themselves and always look out for their best interest. Seewald shared, "Just be careful girls. Don't give away your heart or your body to someone who isn't prepared to cherish you for the long haul."

Prior to Seewald's post, his wife Jessa and her sisters had been quite vocal about the rules they live when it comes to dating. Collaborating in the creation of the book, titled "Growing Up Duggar," the older sisters in the family shared their own pieces of advice to young ladies looking for love, according to an earlier report by E Online.
"When we say true love waits, we mean that couples should not act like they're married when they're not or share physical intimacies that married couples share," the sisters wrote in the book - a belief clearly echoed by Seewald in his Instagram post. Meanwhile, the Duggar ladies, who were all unmarried at the time, shared the following qualities of an ideal future spouse.
"A Godly Man, like their Dad -"that would mean we desire the man we marry to be honest, hardworking, generous, and ministry-focused."
A Gentle Spirit-"not one who regularly loses his temper and spews out anger."
Chivalrous and loves children (maybe wants to have 19 of them?)
Monied-"a good steward of his money with a goal of living debt-free within his finances."
