Jill's interview with people magazine

Jill Duggar Dillard recently opened up People magazine about the toll that filming her family's reality shows, 19 Kids and Counting and its spin-off Counting On, took on her relationship to her husband Derick Dillard.

"It caused a lot of frustration in our marriage," Jill, 32, exclusively tells PEOPLE in this week's issue. "Especially early on, where he would feel a certain way about filming something. I'd be like, 'I hear you, I feel you, I also don't want to do whatever it is they're asking us to do either. But we have to.'"

Jill's parents did have a comment that says "We love all of our children very much. As with any family, few things are more painful than conflicts or problems among those you love... We do not believe the best way to resolve conflicts, facilitate forgiveness and reconciliation, or to communicate through difficulties is through the media or in a public forum so we will not comment."

Paging Seewald family of four

Ben and Jessa are now a family of four after welcoming their son, Henry, into the world on February 6, 2017. They were approached by PEOPLE magazine for an interview. The new magazine will be released on Friday, February 17th.

Ben and Jessa said that their labor with baby #2 was a lot faster than their first child's birth. Jessa was admitted to the hospital after Spurgeon. She said that her mother and sister, Jana, almost did not make it to her son's birth. She did say that her sister, Jill, was there.

Jessa says that she is happy that Spurgeon and Henry are only 15 months apart.

Josiah's take: The courtship!

Josiah reveals the reason that their courtship ended.

"Marjorie and I had a good time together," he tells PEOPLE. "We were just trying to follow God's lead on everything. She didn't feel that it was the right timing then, so we called it quits for a bit."

Jessa and Ben Seewald's Relationship Dos and Don'ts

Ben and Jessa sat down with people and did many interviews about their relationship, family, and their marriage

Ben and Jessa have only been married for a little over three months but they are giving some advice about what they have learned so far.

"Ben is the best for sure at saying 'Sweetheart, we need to talk about this' if he senses I am irritated or upset about something," says Jessa Seewald revealed to people and then add "It's important not to turn away,"

"The most important thing is humility and putting the other person first," he says. "I try to make that my perspective – I'm here to serve her and help her. What can I do to make her life easier?"

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at their home in Springdale, Arkansas, the newest Seewalds have much more to share on what they've learned – and say they are learning.

DO: TALK IT THROUGH
"It's important not to build walls or turn away from hard topics," says Jessa. "Not like, 'I am going to take my feelings and close off from you and build a little wall there.' The 'I'm-going-to-show-you attitude' really hurts. It's always best to open up and talk about things."

DON'T: YELL OR SCREAM
While yelling is "not the tendency" in the Seewald home, Jessa says, she also cautions that not being willing to talk about an issue can be problematic.

"Clamming up is just as bad [as yelling], she says.
DO: BUDGET
"We have been thinking about finances a lot lately," says Ben, who says he and Jessa want to avoid getting into debt and try not to waste money.

In addition to Duggar-type bargain hunting – Jim Bob and Michelle have often discussed their goal to "buy used and save the difference" on their show – Ben insists that giving money away is also important to the couple.

"If God blesses us with money, we want to find ways to give it to others who need help," he says.

DON'T: SKIP DATE NIGHT
Jessa says that Ben takes her out on date nights "sometimes twice a week" to romantic dinners or trips to the local ice cream parlor.

"Dates are investing in our marriage," Ben says. "That's a good way to spend our money."

Jessa and Ben Seewald Talk About Life as Newlyweds to PEOPLE Magazine

On the last season of "19 Kids and Counting," we watched the relationship between Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald grow. We saw Ben nervously ask Jessa's father for permission to court, plan a series of sweet dates (with chaperones, of course!), and move in to the Duggar's home. And at the end of last season, Ben orchestrated one incredibly romantic scavenger hunt proposal -- and Jessa said yes!

This past November, Jessa, 22, and Ben, 19, tied the knot in front of 1,000 people in Bentonville, Arkansas. (Don't worry, you'll get to see the lovely event later this season!) They've moved out of the Duggar home and are definitely enjoying life as newlyweds.

Jessa and Ben recently sat down with PEOPLE magazine to discuss their new, quieter life together as well as their big plans for the future. Ben, who himself is no stranger to large families (he is one of seven siblings), and Jessa have found it tough to get used to living in a less chaotic environment. "One thing I've had to adjust to," Jessa told PEOPLE, "is not having my siblings around - especially my sisters because we are so close."

But based on all of the Instagram pictures of the happy couple, they seem to be savoring their newfound alone time.

Jessa and Ben are also excited to grow their own family. And they've got plenty of older siblings to consult when it comes to parenting tips. Jessa's older brother Josh and his wife Anna are expecting their fourth child this year and Jessa's older sister Jill, who was married last summer, is pregnant with her first child. However, Jessa and Ben are considering going a different route.

"We hope to adopt a lot of kids," Jessa tells PEOPLE. "If God blesses us with biological kids of our own, it's not going to quench our desire to adopt."

Ben and Jessa's exclusive interview!

From the start of their courtship, Ben and Jessa have been making their own rules. At their wedding, they decided that they were going to have their first kiss in private rather in front of family and friends. It was very different from how Josh and Anna along with Derick and Jill did their first kiss.
Ben and Jessa sat down with People magazine to talk about their marriage and how they have been adjusting to it. The new season started tonight.
"One thing I've had to adjust to," Jessa said to People then added "is not having my siblings around – especially my sisters because we are so close (to Ben) But I am so happy to be married to you."
Jessa is the third daughter of the couple and settled into their new home with her husband Ben. It was revealed on the recent episode that it's the first home of Josh and Anna which they lived there for five years and welcomed all three of their children.

Ben Seewald moves into the Duggar guest house!

The Duggars have a new person living in their house well their guest house.

"He moved up here a few weeks ago," Jim Bob, 49, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "It has been really good. He has been able to spend a lot more time with Jessa and our family. We have a guesthouse in front of our house, with a shower and everything, separate from the main house."

　

Ben even works for Jessa's father while he keeps doing his college classes


"I'm very excited that Ben is moving in today," Jessa says in the clip. "I think it will be awesome to get to spend more time with Ben and see him on a daily basis instead of once or twice a month."

"Ben was living four hours away in Hot Springs with his parents," Jim Bob says. "After Michelle and I were talking about it, we have so many projects to do that we need help for – everything from construction projects to keeping the grass mowed to putting roof on a building, paperwork and things like that – and we asked him if he would be interested in moving up here so that Jessa and his relationship could be really accelerated. He was all for it and his parents were happy about it."
Chaperones?

"They always have a chaperone," Jim Bob explains. "It has just worked out great. It is a little more labor intensive for Dad – we did set a curfew. By midnight, every night, we need to make sure everybody is back in their place. Jessa and Ben have set up their own courtship standards. They did not hold hands until they got engaged. After they got engaged, they started holding hands. Just like Jill and Derick, they will be saving their first kiss for their wedding day.

Love and affection

Derick and Jill also gave their feelings about Ben moving into the family home.

"You're human, and the physical side is there for a reason," Derick says in the clip. "Naturally, it is going to be difficult if you try to refrain from that."

"Any time you are in love and are together, you realize you want to show your love and affection," she says in the clip. "But when you have purposed to keep those protections in your life, you have to remember and have that accountability." Michelle told People.
