Josiah Duggar

When Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson got married back in 2018, their wedding was nearly identical to every Duggar ceremony that preceded it.

Over 1,000 guests were in attendance, and a TLC camera crew was on hand to capture the moment when the couple kissed for the very first time, in accordance with the hyper-strict Duggar courtship rules, which prohibit most forms of premarital physical contact with the opposite sex.

Earlier this month, we reported that Jim Bob Duggar spies on his children by snooping through their personal electronic devices even after they've entered adulthood.

And now it seems he's not the only one in the family member who engages in that seriously creepy habit.

When Josiah Duggar married Lauren Swanson back in 2018, fans were quick to offer congratulatory remarks on social media -- but many expressed misgivings, as well.

The problem was that along with his sister Jinger, Josiah has developed a reputation as one of one of very few rebels in his family.

When members of the Duggar family enter a romantic relationship, it's usually for keeps.

The Duggars don't date, you see -- they enter courtships.

The coronavirus pandemic has forced many people to get creative in their pursuit of entertainment.

And we can't think of a better way to pass the time than by ranking the Duggars in terms of who's been the biggest disappointment to Jim Bob and Michelle!

The Duggars are a polarizing family.

This may be the most understated sentence ever written on this celebrity gossip website.

If you've ever spent even a few minutes watching one of their reality shows, we probably don't need to tell you the Duggars are not your typical American family.

In fact, Jim Bob and Michelle put their own twist on just about every aspect of their kids' upbringing.

We probably don't need to tell you that breakups are extremely rare in the Duggar clan.

In fact, as far as we know, exactly one couple has called it quits in all the time the Duggars have been in the spotlight.

Josiah Duggar and Lauren Duggar were brought to tears on Tuesday night's episode of Counting On.

For an utterly heartbreaking reason, too.

Congraulations are in order for Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson.

Because they are first-time parents who welcomed a precious little girl in mid-November, not very long removed from a tragic and awful miscarriage?

Lauren Duggar and Josiah Duggar officially help comprise a family of three.

This, of course, became the case back on November 8 when the famous couple welcomed its very first child into the world, a precious baby girl named Bella.

We're not crying, okay?

YOU'RE the ones who are crying.

For Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson, first came love.

And then came marriage.

With 19 kids and a strict code of conduct that forbids everything from premarital physical contact to celebrating Halloween, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar likely knew from the start that it was only a matter of time before they'd be forced to quash a rebellion.

But they probably weren't prepared to fight a war on multiple fronts.

Lauren and Josiah Duggar has a special reason to celebrate this week.

And also a tragic reason to remain humble and mournful.

If you're a Counting On fan, then you're probably already aware that we're in the middle of a full-blown Duggar baby boom.

No fewer than four Duggar couples are currently expecting, and Jessa Duggar just welcomed her third child in May.
