Jana Duggar on marriage: 'I'm not just out to get married to the first one that comes along'

The love life of eldest Duggar daughter Jana Duggar from "Jill and Jessa: Counting On" is a subject of great interest for many viewers, and fans cannot stop wondering when she would meet her perfect match and fall in love.

In the March 22 episode "Date Nights & Bright Lights," Jana reflected on courtship and marriage when she was asked where she sees herself five years from now.

"That is so hard to say. I don't know what the next five years will look like. Maybe I'll meet the one, get married, and have kids," she said.

But Jana quickly added that she hasn't met the right guy so far. "There have been different guys that [have] come along and asked, but it's just not..." she trailed off. "They haven't been the right one. So it's just one of those things."

Sometimes it can get pretty "tempting" to fall in love, admitted Jana, especially when she sees her younger siblings Jill Dillard and Jessa Seewald go on romantic dates with their respective husbands and enjoy motherhood. But she said she won't rush into things that aren't meant for her.

"I'm not just out to get married to the first one that comes along," she said, adding that she is currently "busy where God has me right now and being content in this place and learning as much as I can."

Jana is also known as the "Cinderella Duggar" because of all the help she gives her parents Jim Bob and Michelle in caring for her younger siblings, and now even her nephews Israel David Dillard and Spurgeon Elliot Seewald.

But Jana said the rumors about her family taking advantage of her aren't true since she has several other things up her sleeves. "I don't only cook and take care of babies. Surprise!" she smilingly said.
