In her post, Anna shared a wedding photo. She also wrote a heartfelt message about what this anniversary and their marriage means to her. Anna writes,

“11 years ago, before God, our family and friends we said, ‘I do!’ — and my how the past 11 years have flown by! ♥️ The joys we’ve experienced together have far surpassed the shadows of sorrow we’ve walked through. Through it all, God’s kindness and grace has sustained us. I am thankful for the 7 children He has given us together (5 here/1 in heaven/1 due in Nov)! I love you so much Joshua and look forward to growing old together! (Gotta admit though…being young together is pretty fun too!)”

Longtime fans of the Duggar family know about Josh’s past. After the couple was married, the news broke that Josh had molested a few of his sisters as a teenager. He also had multiple paid accounts on Ashley Madison, which was a website known for creating extramarital affairs. This was several years ago, but some fans have not gotten over it yet.

In the post, Anna alluded to Josh’s past and the troubling times in their marriage when she mentioned the “shadows of sorrow”. Though Anna stayed with Josh despite his past, fans assume that this was hard for her. In the comments section of her anniversary post, fans are admiring Anna for her strength and commitment to Josh.
