If she's known him since she was 4 years old, is it really possible that she has the normal "falling in love" types of feelings/attractions that most people have when they start dating? It really seems to be like this is indeed an arranged marriage for Joy and it was arranged by Jim Bob in order to keep the television series going. The Duggars were ready to push Josiah, who was all of 18 at the time, into a courtship/marriage two years ago, and probably would have if the show had not been cancelled. I do hope that some viewers are horrified at what is going on and that the ratings end up dropping. Also, after this upcoming wedding and the new babies being born in the next few months, what will be left to show? Somehow, even if they end up getting one or more of the boys married off, it probably won't be as interesting a storyline unless they find brides who don't mind being on camera, like Anna. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51212-joy-and-austin-this-one-time-at-family-camp/page/4/#findComment-2913902

It may be the way the show is scripted, but she does not appear to have the maturity that a soon-to-be-married woman should have. We don't know much about Austin at this point, he may be the same way. Or maybe he is more mature (seeing as he was required to work at the camp) and has a different mindset than Joy. My other thought is that Joy won't need to have any skills aside from working at the camp. She and Austin will most likely live there and Jim Bob and Michelle will simply be replaced by Austin's parents.

GeeGolly January 19, 2017 Share January 19, 2017 Joy is different from her older sisters in the sense that they were raised in a clump, almost as one, in a very Gothard way. Their hair was permed, they were mothering their siblings and reached the get-ready-for-marriage-and-babies season of life together. At the time JB & M thought they fixed the problem that was Josh and put much of their focus on Jana, Jill, Jessa and Jinger. Joy was left to play with her brothers and really was a Lost Boy. Here she is now, barely 19 and following the path that was paved for her. She probably likes Austin, has butterflies when thinking of kissing him and is flattered that he likes her. The next steps are marriage and babies. This is all she knows. She probably thinks she is right where she needs to be in life. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51212-joy-and-austin-this-one-time-at-family-camp/page/4/#findComment-2915503

And all but one of these couples dated others before they started dating their spouses. I actually know quite a few high school sweethearts who are my age (36) and still married. Some even older than that. I absolutely think you can build a life with the person you first loved. However, all of the people I know were not as sheltered as Joy and had more life experience than she has had, even at 18. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51212-joy-and-austin-this-one-time-at-family-camp/page/4/#findComment-2916855
kokapetl January 19, 2017 Share January 19, 2017 I think Joy is a Jodie Foster fan, a Women's Tennis Association tour groupie, and appreciates the art of Georgia O'Keeffe. That is, she would be if she knew any of that existed. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51212-joy-and-austin-this-one-time-at-family-camp/page/4/#findComment-2917466

For her sake, in that lifestyle, I hope she's not. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51212-joy-and-austin-this-one-time-at-family-camp/page/4/#findComment-2917475

I know two people in marriages since they were 18. Long (10-20 year) unions. I get the feeling they married the first thing to come along and held on tight out of necessity. If Joy is happy, that's fine, I just done want her marrying just to be a 6 week plotline. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51212-joy-and-austin-this-one-time-at-family-camp/page/4/#findComment-2917819

Since Joy can't do anything without a chaperone, I don't know why this rumor is so prevalent. She wouldn't be doing anything most kids her age aren't already doing if it was true. As much as I disagree with and dislike her parents and her oppressive upbringing, I really can't stand to see this young woman so impugned. I wonder how Joy would feel if she knew about the rumors. Crazy days and nights, the blind item gossip site, revealed a blind along the same line around the time Jinger got engaged. It said they had to rush a daughter in to marriage because of pre-marital hanky panky. I just assumed it was Jinger. Crazy days and nights also had a reveal about trading one of the daughters for ratings. After that one came out, I figured that was Joy. But the preggers /had a pregnancy scare makes sense to me now too. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/51212-joy-and-austin-this-one-time-at-family-camp/page/4/#findComment-2918023
