Most couples found it taxing spending every waking hour together during the COVID-19 lockdown, but Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are not most couples. The reality stars revealed to Us Weekly that their marriage is so strong, quarantining at home actually made it even better. “I really know that our relationship with God and our close walk with Christ is what holds our marriage together,” Michelle shared. “That’s the glue that started our relationship years ago. And I know because of our faith, that is the solid foundation that we have.” As a result, she’s more in love with Jim Bob than ever, despite the fact they’ve been married for over 30 years.
“He is the man that stands strong and is solid, and then he’s steady,” the “Counting On” star gushed. “And I’m so grateful that God brought us together 36 years ago. And he’s given us these precious children and we love every one of them.” In fact, the Duggars consider themselves “more blessed than any couple,” considering they’ve got a number of grandchildren to love too. Regardless of its many setbacks, including everything that happened at the height of the pandemic, and their son, Josh Duggar’s, prison sentence, Michelle and Jim Bob are grateful for everything their life together has given them.
