It is the 10th anniversary of Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard!
On Friday, June 21, Derick Dillard took to his Instagram page to share a caption — a tribute to his wife and to their marriage.
“Happy 10-year wedding anniversary to the love of my life, @jillmdillard,” he began his caption.
“This last decade has been a wild ride,” Derick acknowledged. “And we’ve been through a lot.”
“But,” Derick continued, “there’s nobody I’d rather have by my side.”
Among so many other things, including all of Josh’s public scandals, his trial, her estrangement from her awful father, and more, Jill and Derick are grieving a stillbirth.
Addressing Jill, he affirmed: “You are not only my wife, but you are also my best friend.”

“#10years #marriage #secondhoneymoon,” he tagged the post. “#Ecclesiastes4:9-11 #Proverbs31 #blessed.”
Ecclesiastes 4:9 refers to a passage in Christianity’s holy book, the bible, which reads: “Two are better off than one, because they have a good return for their labor.” Alternative translations read: “Because they can help each other succeed.”
Meanwhile, Proverbs 31 is a longer passage. While portions of that section contain misogynistic warnings, Derick is likely referring to the bit about how an “excellent wife” is “far more precious than” jewels. Some translations specify than rubies.
