Real Estate Agent Jim Bob Duggar's Family: Respects Wife As His Friend, But Has Children Issues?

It only seems right that the real estate agent Jim Bob and wife live a peaceful life with love and harmony because if they don’t, they are going to have A LOT of problems and don’t think that as an exaggerated comment; we literally mean it.

There were some rumors between this couples who got married on July 21, 1984, were about to go through a divorce because of their son Josh. Not much was revealed but they were believed to be fighting and arguing more than ever.

However, it was true that there were complications but Jim and his wife coped with and recently they were seen together in a trip to a marriage retreat where they gave a speech on a happy and godly married life.

Jim also took a picture of him with his wife to Facebook with a caption that said Michelle was his best friend.

Jim Bob Dugger, 51, and wife Michelle Duggar, 50, are couples who are truly one of a kind. Why? Well, how many couple do you see these days with nineteen children? Not many right. Jim and Michelle have a total of nineteen children together and that is quite extraordinary; at least in this century. 

To everybody’s surprise, the couples are positively looking forward to adopting another child and make their children squad a round figure number of twenty; excluding the husband and wife of course.

That right, the couples have decided to adopt an 8-years-old boy who is the son of Michelle’s niece, Rachel Hutchins. As the 23 years old is a single mother, unemployed and homeless, she had been struggling to raise the child.

Jim and his wife both were granted temporary guardianship of the child since August and now are looking forward to making it a permanent guardianship as of November after the court’s decision.

Maybe the couples though taking care of an extra child will not hamper them much. Now the question is, will the famous show ‘19 kids and counting’ will be changed to ’20 kids and that’s it’ or ’20 kids and counting’. Either way, the name still is amusing. 

Nineteen Children of Jim and Michelle:

Now, let’s talk about the whole Duggar dynasty. We know that nineteen is not a small number; at least not for a family. It sure is going to take a while talking about all their children but we are up for it and if we have guessed right, you are too. Let’s start with the newest arrival to the oldest, shall we?

Economic Support for Family:

So, there you go, a total list of Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle’s nineteen children. Now, with that large family, Jim might need bundles of money to fulfill the needs of the whole family. Even with this large family, Jim and Michelle were always debt free.

Jim and his wife started working while they were still teenagers. They first started with selling used cars which Jim himself repaired. That later led to starting a towing business which they eventually ended up selling in profits. In 1994, they stepped in the real estate business and little did they know, the business flourished.

The couple also earned money through leasing lands. Later, the family started to earn $25,000-$40,000 from their show ’19 kids and counting’, which added to an extra income. With all the works and jobs they have done till now, the couple has successfully mustered a net worth of $3.5 million.
