Duck Dynastyโs Phil Robertson went viral earlier this year when he talked about his views, asking America about abortion, โWhat in the world happened to us?โ
Robertson said at the time: โListen, from the time you started inside your motherโs womb, Thomas Jefferson had it right, you have the God-given right to life for crying out loud. Youโre this long (pointing to his finger). Youโre a week old inside your mother. They suck you out of there when youโre about like that (point to finger again). You wouldnโt be here tonight!โ
Now, he and his wife Missy have also put forward an exhortation to practice virginity until marriage.
During the K-Love fan awards this summer, the pair shared about their faith in God and how theyโre using their popularity to reach people. They talk about their views in favor of abstinence.
Jase Robertson says: โWe were both virgins when we got married until our wedding night. We decided to do it Godโs way and basically had a godly agreement that we would help each other get to heaven. A lot of people just think that thatโs unreasonable or preposterous. But you know, if everybody chose to do it Godโs way, the world would be a lot better off.โ
โWhat attracted us to each other was what we saw in each other in our faith,โ Missy, Jaseโs wife, said.
โWeโve been very happy for 22 years before the money started coming in,โ she added.
Missy said they can now see the same commitment in their children.
โAnd what an influence we can have on our children with that testimony. Our oldest son has been dating a great girl for over a year and a half and they also have the same commitment,โ she said. โSo itโs just such a wonderful joyous time as a parent to see that and the commitment they have as children wanting to do that also.โ
Jase added the world will benefit if they followed Godโs desire. โA lot of people just think that thatโs unreasonable or preposterous,โ he said. โBut you know, if everybody chose to do it Godโs way, the world would be a lot better off.โ
