Five out of the eight married couples are embarking on a marriage
retreat at the lake house. The retreat is organized by Jim Bob and
Michelle. Lauren's father is leading it. Jim Bob feels that it's
important to have a strong marriage because it will make the family
stronger. Joy is hoping to learn a lot while Austin reveals that he
wants to get start actively investing into their marriage.
The
first topic is communication. Jessa says that she needs to close her
mouth so her husband can talk because she has learned that she tries to
guess what her husband is saying. Kendra also talks more than her
husband while Josiah admits that he talks more than Lauren. It's time
for the challenge which involves walkie-talkies, blindfolds and boats.
The Duggars love to make things competitive and Josiah wins it while
Jessa admits that she struggle at giving direction. Austin ditches the
paddles and uses his arms.
The second topic is
compromise which Abbie grew up having structured while John did not.
Kendra says that when you don't compromise, it will cause tension. The
next challenge involves a nest building with marbles. Lauren says that
she just lets her husband work through his own than nagging him. Lauren
lays down on the couch due to a headache.
Joy says that
Austin and her work together pretty good since they are always willing
to listen to each other ideas. Ben and Jessa do their own thing which
they do often in their lives.
On the last day of their
retreat, Lauren is in bed since she is tired and nauseous. They have to
write their wedding vows and stand up in front of everyone to say them
again. Abbie admits that she was giddy and nervous the second time
around. Joseph says that he was not as emotional as he was the first
time. Josiah had filmed his to show Lauren later and kisses the phone
screen.
John says that he is grateful of his parents because it was nice to come up there and have a retreat and reconnect.
Meanwhile,
the Vuolos are preparing their moving sale. Jeremy says that he is
looking forward to become minimalist because he is sentimental to his
past. When the people start coming into the garage and he got caught up
in it. Most of the shoppers don't speak English so they bring in a
friend that can speak both.
The family says that Jim
Bob is the best at negotiating. Jeremy admits that he is worst at it
since he doesn't have the same skills. He lets paint cans go for 15
while Jinger says that they could go for double. The couple makes $379
for the sale.
