"The Duggar family gets asked a lot of questions," Seewald said. "A lot of times we take it as a lesson, and we ask other people who are older and wiser than us to share wisdom with us about relationships. It's an important thing."
Like her parents, Jessa hopes to have a lot of children with Ben. They plan on leaving the number of kids "up to God."
"We are talking about our goals and even just like future, with family, we both talked about adoptions," Jessa revealed. "We are open to having children and both want to adopt, too."
