They follow strict guidelines in their day to day life, including no alcohol and no bare skin on show, and men and women are not allowed to be alone together until they are married.

Claire told TLC that she has realised her husband is a morning person who can be "out the door in ten minutes."

"In the mornings, I’ll have to get up and have a little time to get ready and whatever, and he can wake up and be like, 'Oh! I’m supposed to be out the door in ten minutes. Got to go!'" she shared.

For his part, Justin revealed that he has been learning Claire's little quirks, including the fact that she had to have a cup of hot tea in the mornings.

"She can’t go in the mornings without a cup of tea — hot tea. She always has to have her hot Earl Grey tea, and done a certain way, which I’m figuring out," Justin said.
