During the season premiere, John Luke also set out on a golfing trip with his father, Willie, as well as uncles Jep and Jase who imparted marital advice. Jep was the first to chime in, suggesting "sensual oils" before Willie interrupted him.
Over at Jep and Jessica's house, Mary Kate received her own bits of marriage advice during the "Duck Dynasty" season premiere, including instruction on Robertson family patriarch Phil's famous crawfish etoufee, a Cajun and Creole dish typically served with rice and shellfish.
"Well, Mary Kate, I'm glad that you're going to be the next addition to the Robertson clan," said Phil. "What better way to start than learning how to cook my famous crawfish etouffee?"
Surrounded by Robertson wives, Mary Kate also learned that food is an important part of life for the family in West Monroe, Louisiana.
"If you're a Robertson woman and you don't know how to cook, you're going to be ridiculed and teased for the rest of your life," said Jessica.
Later, Jase's wife, Missy, explains that marrying into the Robertson family, which operates the Duck Commander business, is "always an adventure."
"Being married to a Robertson man is not always romantic, but it is always an adventure," said Missy. "And the truth is, romance can be nice but it doesn't compare to a truly loving and committed lifelong marriage with the man you love."
"Duck Dynasty" airs on A&E at 9:30 p.m. ET on Thuersdays. Watch a clip from the season premiere below.
