'19 Kids & Counting' Star Jessa Duggar Weds; Receives Advice From Sister Jill
Before marrying Ben Seewald, Jessa Duggar received marital advice from sister Jill, who is still a newlywed herself.
"Jessa and I shared a lot with us being in relationships and us getting married, and now they are following along," Jill told People. "We have great examples in our parents that love doesn't have to end. Spend lots of time together and remember, the honeymoon doesn't have to end."
"And we're looking forward to seeing more cousins," Jill's husband Derick added.

Jill and Derick are expecting their first child, a son, this spring. Both Jill and Jessa, who come from a large family, have spoken about their desire for their own big families, whether that means biologically or through adoption. The daughters have been inspired by their parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, who just celebrated 30 years of marriage this year. The patriarch and matriarch admitted that they are as in love as ever.
"It was so amazing," Michelle said of meeting Jim Bob. He "opened up the Bible and was just sharing so much wonderful information with me. After he left, I stood in the doorway and I just prayed, 'Father, I have never met a man like this before. If this isn't the one you have for me, I can't imagine anything better."
People have placed odds on whether Jessa will conceive soon after her honeymoon, just like sister Jill did. Within just a few weeks of returning from her honeymoon, Jill and Derick made the announcement that they were expecting and more recently revealed that they were expecting a baby boy in the spring. The family is absolutely thrilled with the news and is hoping for more children.
However, Jessa has stated that she and husband Ben plan to wait at least a little while before starting their family, as there are things they would like to accomplish before welcoming children. Jessa and Ben's wedding will be featured next season on "19 Kids & Counting."
