Just a few days after his graduation from college, the Seewald family has something new to celebrate - Ben's 20th birthday, and his wife Jessa and in-laws Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar did not pass up the chance to offer him words of love and encouragement.

Jessa shared a throwback photo on her Instagram account (@jessaseewald) to greet her best friend and favorite person in the whole wide world a happy birthday.

"Life with you is always so fun and exciting! I love your passion for bringing help to the hurting, and sharing with the lost the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Every day you inspire me to be more committed to the Faith. There is no one else I'd rather run alongside in this journey of life!" Jessa gushed.

She praised Ben for being so tender, compassionate, humble, loving, and faithful, adding that Ben always looks out for her comfort and well-being before his own.

"You're not afraid to admit your mistakes and quickly make things right. You're a true gem. With each day that passes, I realize more and more just how blessed I am to have you as my man! There is no one else I would rather have as the daddy of my baby!" she said.

Jessa describes Ben as her "dream man" and added that she could not ask for anything more in a husband. 

As for Jim Bob and Michelle, they shared their greeting on the family's Facebook page and wrote, "Happy Birthday Ben!We are so happy for you and Jessa and your new baby on the way! We all appreciate your love for God and your desire to share with others how they may also have a relationship with Jesus. May God continue to bless your life as you invest in the lives of others!"
