Following the struggles that she has gone through over the past year, Anna Duggar has finally opened up about how she truly feels about her husband Josh's "betrayal."

The mother of four is moving on, and despite having her heart broken by Josh's public confessions of molesting underage girls as a teen and cheating, she says she is clinging to her faith as she raises her kids without their father.

According to Entertainment Tonight, during the second episode of "Jill and Jessa: Counting On," Anna said, "My prayer and my heart's desire is for our marriage to be restored."

The betrayed wife first detailed how Josh confessed to her parents in Arkansas before they tied the knot and how he was "very honest" about what he did. However, Josh's confession of infidelity was the total shocker since she referred to her husband as "my one and only."

All throughout her interview, she struggled to fight back the tears that have long been kept inside, telling the audience that she came to the point in her family's scandalous year when she finally asked how such a thing could happen to her marriage.

Previously, a lot of rumors emerged, suggesting that Anna's siblings have been telling her to leave Josh and move on as a single mother. However, the former "19 Kids and Counting" star made it clear that she is not planning to leave her estranged husband or file for divorce.

"I pray that through all of this...I would love him and forgive him..." she said while still keeping the tears from falling.

Anna is reportedly living with her children in the Duggars' family home, while Josh is attending a rehab facility that will hopefully help him "recover" from the big fall.

After Josh's scandals went ablaze across the country and throughout the globe, the family's TLC show was canceled. However, the network decided to give Jill and Jessa a special, focusing on each their own families, with some members of the clan appearing as guests.
