The Duggar family came into the limelight for being one of the largest families in America in terms of number. Their belief has both been cheered and criticized by various groups, especially in their being against the use of contraceptives. However, Joy Anna Duggar surprised fans and viewers when she declared that she will remain single.

The Stir reports that the younger Duggar is in no hurry to follow the footsteps of her older sisters who got married and proceeded to have babies within months after the wedding. She said that she is aware of the pressure her family puts on the female members of their family to find a suitor and eventually get married.

She said that her older sister, Jana, who is already 26, has been experiencing this pressure. However, Jana has skirted the issue by saying that she has been busy looking after her younger siblings.

Observers say that Joy Anna's decision is right, considering she is only 18 and still has a lot of things to experience before even thinking about marriage and maybe regretting it for the rest of her life.

In fact, the Hollywood Gossip labeled the teen as the "new Jana," considering that they both are not rushing into marriage. They even praised her saying, "What's not to love about J-to-the-A? She's smart. She's well-rounded. She can dead lift her own weight. She wears shorts (yes, shorts)!"

Many fans and viewers have warmed up to Joy Anna after she exhibited a certain maturity well beyond her years. One of them is becoming one of the first members of the family to forgive Josh after the scandal broke out. Viewers also witnessed how she empathized with Anna after she recalled her visit to Josh at the rehab. And who would forget how she helped her sister-in-law while she's in therapy? With that strength in character, Joy Anna has become a positive influence to the viewers.
