If anyone’s marriage has been put to the test, it’s Josh and Anna Duggar’s.
In the past year, we’ve discovered the dark side of Josh, who admitted to molesting several young children, including his sisters, plus was caught on the Ashley Madison website seeking out extramarital affairs.
And if that wasn’t enough, Josh was also accused of physically and mentally abusing a porn star with whom he paid to have sex.
And if THAT wasn’t enough (I know, right?), all this went down while Anna was pregnant with their fourth child.
While Josh completed a months-long stint in a faith-based rehab for addiction to sex and pornography, that was only one part of recovery for the couple.
Yesterday, Josh and Anna released a statement on the Duggar Family blog, announcing that they were in couples therapy in order to “heal” their relationship.
A section of the post reads:
“Since the residential treatment program ended, we have been working with a professional marriage and family counselor to take important steps toward healing.
“It isn’t easy and some days are very difficult. It is a long road to rebuild trust and a truly healthy relationship.
“We are very thankful for God’s forgiveness, grace and help, as it is our strength and guide to rebuilding our lives.”
They also say they are taking it “one day at a time” and are grateful for fans’ prayers.
While many women would’ve kicked Josh’s buttocks to the curb upon hearing just one of his incredible misdeeds, Anna remains trapped in committed to their marriage because of her faith.
A rumor surfaced earlier this week that the couple were expecting their fifth child, but we’ve yet to hear a confirmation from the family.
We have heard, though, that Josh is still behaving like an arrogant POS, so let’s hope marriage counseling is more effective than rehab.
