Josh and Anna Duggar both belong to a conservative Christian sect which frowns upon divorce. Couples in crisis are advised to seek spiritual guidance and try to work things out (per Distractify). However, an unidentified source recently told In Touch Weekly that Anna is just about ready to defy her church's teachings. "Anna doesn't want to get her hopes up, and while he'll always be the father of her children, she's not sure if there is a future with Josh," said the insider. "As far as I know she still communicates with Josh, but in her heart, all she has left is her children and her faith."
Anna Duggar is really feeling the strain now that her husband is in prison. She can only visit Josh in prison for four hours a month, and physical intimacy is limited to brief hugs and kisses (per The U.S. Sun). That, combined with Josh's crimes and the strain of raising seven children alone, reportedly has brought her to the breaking point. Another In Touch Weekly notes that Anna has removed her social media accounts, and a source says that she is ready to "check out and forget everything about this nightmare."
Cousin Amy Duggar King has been outspoken about urging Anna to move on. She once posted on Instagram, "The only people you would upset by leaving are the ones willing to sacrifice you and your children's safety to protect Josh and his secrets."
