Ben Seewald

Let's be clear up front:

Two things can be true at once.

Finally, some positive news about the Duggar family.

With most of the free world buzzing endlessly about Josh Duggar's arrest and the ramifications of the heinous charges against him, the accused pedophile's sister has given loved ones a reason to smile.

There's a lot going on in the Duggar family these days.

Josh Duggar's arrest on child pornography charges has thrown the entire Counting On clan for a loop, and it often seems that the family is unraveling at the scenes.

The Duggars became reality stars because of their devotion to breeding.

In the early days, especially, that was their hook -- step right up and see the Amazing Fertile Woman and the Man Who Simply Refuses to Pull Out!

Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald would like your attention.

They have a very special announcement to make.

Well, it looks like this is a very big week for Jessa Duggar.

Not only did her chronically-unemployed husband, Ben Seewald, finally get a job, he chose one of the few professions that Jim Bob Duggar actually approves of!

Let's start by giving Ben Seewald the benefit of some doubt:

He likely means well.

Some way, some way, for some sad and troubling reason... we're still here.

Months and months after COVID-19 started to spread around the globe, and with nearly 320,000 Americans dead as a result, there are still some people out there who doubt the severity of this virus.

The Duggar family is all about rules.

Jim Bob and Michelle strictly enforce guidelines regarding everything from how their kids dress to how they date.

When Jessa Duggar married Ben Seewald back in 2014, she was just 21 years old, and in the eyes of many fans, she seemed much younger.

It's true that Jessa had lived quite a sheltered life up to that point, but what many fans didn't realize is that Ben may have had even less real world experience.

Like so many other famous mothers out there, Jessa Duggar often gets parent-shamed.

And, just like so many other famous mothers out there, Jessa Duggar does not deserve to get parent-shamed.

Back in May of 2019, Jessa Duggar welcomed her third child.

This was big news in the Duggar-obsessed corners of the Internet, and not only because a new human being had entered the world.

Jessa Duggar knows, you guys.

She reads the Internet.

Last week, we declared Kendra Caldwell the most popular Duggar in-law.

That might still be the case overall, but it looks like we've got a new winner in the male category, and it's probably not the Duggar son-in-law that you would expect.

The Duggar family's response to the coronavirus pandemic has attracted a lot of attention from fans.

While several Counting On stars have decided to ignore the social distancing guidelines designed to curb the spread of the virus, others have done their civic duty by playing it safe.

When it comes to the Duggar Family, there are plenty of topics over which total strangers on the Internet can debate.

Are Jim Bob and Michelle running a cult? Is Anna Duggar a strong woman with faith or a wife trapped in a loveless, scandal-ridden marriage due to threats made against her by her in-laws?

Counting On fans are currently still recovering from Ben Seewald shaving his beard. It's a good look, Ben!

But a growing number of fans have become convinced that Ben is not only unhappy, but now regrets marrying Jessa in the first place.

Jessa Duggar went on a date this week with her husband, Ben Seewald.

This, in and of itself of course, is not news.

Well, folks, it's an election year, which means that if you're anything like us, your social media feeds are choked with hot takes and even hotter debates.

Today's political climate is so divisive it's not uncommon to see families torn apart, even in cases where most members share similar core values and beliefs.

2019 was then year of the Duggar baby boom which saw the TV family welcome a number of new additions.

Sadly, it was also a year that was marked by loss.
