The Unexpected Rules and Customs of the Amish Community

The Amish Beard and Marriage

Yes, beards are sacred and an Amish man will always have one. But, the length of the Amish man's beard is something to take note of! A man will start growing his beard out immediately after getting married, which is usually a tell-tale sign if an Amish man is married or not.
