New "Courting" Rules? Is Jessa Duggar Living With Her Fiance Ben Seewald Before Marriage?

Wait! Are the Duggars setting some new rules when it comes to courting, engagements, and relationships? MStars News has learned that The Duggars have added a new addition to their family home in Tontitown, Arkansas, Ben Seewald, Jessa Duggar's soon-to-be husband.

"He moved up here a few weeks ago," Jim Bob, 49, revealed. "It has been really good. He has been able to spend a lot more time with Jessa and our family. We have a guesthouse in front of our house, with a shower and everything, separate from the main house."

The 19 Kids and Counting family strongly expressed their views on "courtships," and engagements noting that they give side hugs, while courting, and wait to hold hands, and kiss usually until their wedding day.

We previously learned that Seewald proposed to Duggar, about two weeks ago, and now their engaged lovers are planning a wedding.

'19 Kids And Counting' Star Jessa Duggar 21, To Wed Ben Seewald, 19, "We are so blessed to be engaged!"

The new season of the Duggars premieres on TLC Tuesday night, as things will change for this huge family, starting with Jill, and Derick's wedding, Jessa's engagement, and now Ben moving in.

"I'm very excited that Ben is moving in today," Jessa shared in the video clip below. "I think it will be awesome to get to spend more time with Ben and see him on a daily basis instead of once or twice a month."

Jessa's father revealed that he hired his soon-to-be son-in-law to do work for him while he continues his college courses online. So why would the Duggars who are so strict on rules, let their soon-to-be son-in-law move in?

"Ben was living four hours away in Hot Springs with his parents," Jim Bob explains. "After Michelle and I were talking about it, we have so many projects to do that we need help for - everything from construction projects to keeping the grass mowed to putting roof on a building, paperwork and things like that - and we asked him if he would be interested in moving up here so that Jessa and his relationship could be really accelerated. He was all for it and his parents were happy about it."

So are the couple still being supervised, and is the chaperone duties harder now?

"They always have a chaperone," Jim Bob said. "It has just worked out great. It is a little more labor intensive for Dad - we did set a curfew. By midnight, every night, we need to make sure everybody is back in their place. Jessa and Ben have set up their own courtship standards. They did not hold hands until they got engaged. After they got engaged, they started holding hands. Just like Jill and Derick, they will be saving their first kiss for their wedding day."

19 Kids and Counting is back!! Sept. 2 at 9 p.m. ET on TLC.
