Josh Duggar News and Rumors: Marriage To Wife Anna Surviving With Professional Help?

For many, notably the devout, Anna epitomized the "perfect wife", standing by her husband during testing times following "transgression" outside the house. The couple has now revealed that the marriage may have long lost its endurance had it not been for professional help.

Josh Duggar entered rehab late last year after he made a string of headlines including alleged molestation of minor girls, including his sisters. This was followed by revelations that he operated Ashley Madison accounts and also solicited services of at least two porn actors. Duggar spent six months in the Illinois faith-based rehab. His stint saw his wife come under intense criticism for not leaving him; Anna's brother openly espoused support to his sister should she choose to leave Josh.

"As we enter into a long family weekend together, we want to thank each of you for the prayers, love and encouragement you've sent our way," the couple recently wrote. "Since the residential treatment program ended, we have been working with a professional marriage and family counselor to take important steps toward healing."

Ever since his exit, rumors of trouble in the Duggar household, courtesy Josh, have not been far behind the family. First was that Jim Bob and his wife of 30 years, Michelle, were fighting and headed for a split. Some Duggars had also expressed concerns of having their kids around Josh.

Given all that happening in the Duggar household, it may seem unbelievable that Josh and Anna could be having child number 5. Interestingly, more than two reports have suggested that may indeed be the case as the couple is back to its 'sex routine'. Anonymous sources also claim that Josh has not changed much since he returned from rehab, as was evinced from his behavior during a recent visit to Florida. Josh and Anna had flown down to meet Anna's family that was grieving the death of her grandmother.
