The pair was very delighted about their conjugal life. Josh, who was very happy with his life with Anna shared with People that he wants a big family:
"Married life has been great. It’s definitely quieter than being in a house with so many kids. When I go to the grocery store, it feels strange only having one shopping cart."
"I would welcome a big family. My parents have been wonderful examples."
Further, Anna added,
"I would love to have as many children as God would bless us with. Growing up in a large family, and Joshua in a mega-family, you learn so much more. I think a large family helps you prepare for life."
As expected, the couple is blessed with five kids. They welcomed their first child, daughter Mackynzie Renee Duggar (2009), followed by her siblings, Marcus Anthony Duggar (2013), Meredith Grace Duggar (2015), and Mason Garrett Duggar(2017).
Everything went at a perfect pace but things turned upside down when scandals rocked their married life in 2015.
The conservative reality TV star of TLC's 19 Kids and Counting was accused of cheating his wife using the Ashley Madison website; the site that aids extramarital affairs. Furthermore, the account said that he was looking for conventional sex, sex toys experiment, sex talk and more.
Ultimately, Josh admitted that he had a pornography addiction and had cheated his better half through an apologetic statement posted on the Duggar family website.
Weeks after revealing the fact, Josh spent some time in rehab for treatment purpose.
Following the major revelation, the couple maintained their personal life low profiled. Anna went silent on Instagram for a while when one after the other scandals broke out.
They even started seeing a marriage counselor to rebuild trust and maintain a healthy relationship. Trying to mend the bond, the duo is trying their best to make everything perfect.

Anna shows herself very happy with her husband and kids on her recent Instagram posts, but her fans aren't very happy how she moved on with the same guy who cheated her.
"God Anna you still with that pervert??????."
Though Anna shows herself positive in her new life with Josh, a source close to her mentioned that she's 'not exactly happy'. The person said,
"And as someone who has met Josh multiple times, he’s not someone who seems like he’d be a whole lot of fun to be married too. He just stares at every girl he meets like she is an object for him to do something with. Most of the Duggar boys are very respectful and are good at keeping their eyes up — Josh has never been, and I know he was reprimanded a lot for his wandering eyes as a kid."
You can see the two seems elated being together, celebrating father's day together. But, has Anna really forgiven her husband? Have they moved on together?
Well, we all have the same question in our mind!
