They’re such a sweet couple, I hope they pull through.

Me too!:) I remember reading where Chris Daughtry was giving some advice to Kris about the marriage/fame thing. I was touched by this and hope it all pays off.

^^^LK09: I always love hearing about these long lasting marriages. It gives us all hope ya’ know! Sadly, my parents were married for 30 years before getting divorced and my dad did go to church on a regular basis.

They’re such a sweet couple, I hope they pull through.

I hope so too.

My mom was 18 and my dad 26 and they are still married 54 years later. I often think people have more of a chance if they have some sort of faith they share together, but I don’t remember my dad ever setting foot in a Sunday service.

I worry more about Kris and Katy since fame could change him drastically, and she could have a very hard time after a while with how fans come after Kris. On the other hand, I see Kris’s fans being more like DA’s fans, and embracing the whole family. It will be interesting to see.

Good points. Kris doesn’t seem like the type to change too much so I worry about that kind of thing less with him. Its the separation part… not being able to see and talk to each other often, especially for the one who is not living their dream. Not only have they been apart since February, they are not likely to get any significant amount of time together until he comes off touring for his album, some time (hopefully) late next year. Maybe a week or two here and there, but that’s about it. And he will often be so busy that he can’t even call her some days. I always worry about the married idols who get signed for that reason. They’re such a sweet couple, I hope they pull through.

Too young. Hope it works out.

I know many couples who married young and made it. My mom was 18 and my dad was 24 when they got married and today 28 years later, they are the most in love couple i know!

My best friend was 21 and her husband was 24 when they got married and it’s worked out great for them! And I’ll add to that, both were virgins (*gasp*) when they got married, so the jonas bros aren’t the only ones!

I don’t think that just because they’re young doesn’t mean it won’t work out.

Matt, I agree we don’t know either way. I just don’t think kids are given enough credit when it’s assumed that they can’t use self-control in this area. That’s all, just wanted to give my opinion, which may very well be the unpopular one.

FWIW- I agree. For kids who are taught this from a young age, it IS possible. They do it for religious reasons. Good for them.

Someone wrote about Kris Allen:

Well yes, actually. I worry about them too. And those two have the benefit of knowing each other a lot longer, and having something of a normal existence before fame hit.

I wonder about someone having a normal existence before fame hits. I would think that at least Kevin and his new wife would be used to the stardom and everything that comes with it. I worry more about Kris and Katy since fame could change him drastically, and she could have a very hard time after a while with how fans come after Kris. On the other hand, I see Kris’s fans being more like DA’s fans, and embracing the whole family. It will be interesting to see.

anyway, i wish kevin and the girl a long and happy and successful marriage.

If a baby pops out nine months later I’m going to go PURITY RING! PURITY RING!

Hey, you never know, maybe he just couldn’t commit to the purity ring and did something bad. (bad for him and his family, not bad in the rest of the world sense)

Or maybe he’s just wanting to marry her. Who knows.

But I like the conspiracy all the same.

Not that I really care much about the JoBros, but they are pretty inescapable.

Kinda like Kris and Katy Allen??

Well yes, actually. I worry about them too. And those two have the benefit of knowing each other a lot longer, and having something of a normal existence before fame hit. But as I said before, I wish Kevin and his future bride all the luck in the world!

There are guys that do have that self-control, and it is indeed an admirable thing, . Many teach our kids to wait until marriage. Some couples even go so far to not kiss until they have been pronounced husband and wife. I haven’t gotten much into the brothers. Maybe it’s because I have sons, not daughters, lol. But I wish Kevin the best.

And it doesn’t matter if he’s young or not. He’s in love.
And it’s his choice if he wants to get married or not…

iluvai: I hope they all get married and go away fast. Even my young daughters dislike them and recognize their serious lack of talent. The Jo Bro’s are also super boring when hosting or interviewing.

While they’re not very good singers (although my wife insists that Nick’s singing will improve as his adolescent voice settles down), Nick, who’s the one who got the label’s attention in the first place, is a pretty talented multi-instrumentalist and a prolific songwriter. They’ve done some damn good pop-rock, thanks in large part to Nick. I wouldn’t be surprised if the other two will fade away and he’ll continue to be very successful, at least as a songwriter and producer if not as a frontman.

As for their interviews, I don’t know what interviews you’ve seen, but I’ve seen several in which they’ve been hilarious. They’re a very good interview — very quick wits.

tinawina: That is one stressful situation for a young couple just starting out.

Kinda like Kris and Katy Allen?? :smile_wp:

Ahh, Kevin. Known in my head as ‘the ugly Jonas.’ 

LOL. My niece and I were discussing the Jo Bros today and we had a meeting of the minds using almost this exact phrase.

Hey cookcricket, I too applaud anybody with that kind of self control. I’m just saying I don’t believe they’re really virgins. I mean, that’s a hell of a lot of self control. We don’t know either way. If he really is, then super!

Matt, I agree we don’t know either way. I just don’t think kids are given enough credit when it’s assumed that they can’t use self-control in this area. That’s all, just wanted to give my opinion, which may very well be the unpopular one.

To each their own, but it’s not something I’ll applaud. I’ll applaud those who are mature enough to know marriage is a big thing and don’t jump on it fast and furious.

That makes sense to me!!!!

Good for him. I wish the two the best.

With that said, I don’t believe for a second he’s a virgin. At 21 yrs old, he’s pretty much at the peak of his sexual drive and there are millions of women throwing themselves at those guys. As callous as this may sound, I wouldn’t be shocked if the purity rings are used to help maintain their wholesome disney image.

It’s called self-control and I for one applaud these guys! I personally know a guy who waited until he was married at 24. I’m not judging people who don’t make this decision, but if someone decides to wait I don’t think enough credit is given when people think it’s impossible.

My 13 year old has been a Joe fan. She had scrapbooks of Joe pics and her walls are plastered with posters.

Of course now she pays no attention to him anymore, as she is OTT for Adam! Just like her mom. SIGH.

The apple does not fall far from the tree.

He wants to rip that purity ring off and have sex.

Precisely. Make a kid wear a purity ring, and by the time he’s 22, he’s either a husband or a big fat liar.

I don’t think any of them are attractive, but he’s definitely the homeliest. What with that head shaped like a triangle.
