Josh Duggar's wife Anna is well-loved by her sisters-in-law, and they often have nice things to say about her. They always rave about her devotion to the family. Even after her husband admitted having cheated on her last year, Anna showed grace by forgiving him and deciding to work on their marriage.

In a deleted clip from "Jill and Jessa: Counting On," Anna is seen walking around with her sister-in-law Jessa Seewald. Both women are carrying their infant babies—Anna is holding Meredith Grace while Jessa has Spurgeon Elliot close to her.

The two ladies talk about motherhood and babies. Jessa appreciates Anna's attitude, saying, "I have learned so much from Anna, just watching the way that she loves her kids. It's just been such a blessing to me, as I'm stepping into mommy-hood myself, to look to her as an example and learn from her."

Anna seems to be doing well following the shocking scandals last year involving her husband. She and Josh earlier admitted that they have a long way to go in rebuilding their marriage, but that they are determined to make things work.

"We have been working with a professional marriage and family counselor to take important steps toward healing. It isn't easy and some days are very difficult. It is a long road to rebuild trust and a truly healthy relationship," they said in a statement. "We are very thankful for God's forgiveness, grace and help, as it is our strength and guide to rebuilding our lives. As the future unfolds, we are taking one day at a time and we are grateful for your continued prayers for both of us and our sweet children."
