The 28-year old is part of what many consider to be the most famously conservative family around…
… and yet she has taken to her blog in order to offer a number of tips for women on how to maintain a healthy and happy marriage.
The piece of advice garnering the most attention right now? For a very understandable reason?
Duggar encouraging women to sleep with their husband often. Like, very often. Like, a majority of nights in a seven-day week.
Is she saying this because she has a strong sex drive? Or because she thinks this is what men want and it’s the role of women to be subservient at all times?

Guard against fulfilling sexual desires alone. Be open with your spouse about your desires and change things up to keep it exciting! (Philippians 2:3-4; 1 Corinthians 7:5) If you’re struggling with sex with your spouse, GET HELP! See a doctor and/or licensed counselor and don’t be afraid to get second opinions!”
6. Be Open About Everything
“Past, present and future! You need to be able to trust each other with the easy and the hard! Secrets are seeds for destruction! (1 Corinthians 10:13) Sometimes there may be seasons of difficulty or you may have to rebuild broken trust. Ask God to help you and get outside help if needed. We aren’t meant to live life in isolation! We need support and community! (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; Galatians 6:2)”
