Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are going to focus on their 31-year long marriage amid all the scandals that their family has gone through because of eldest son, Josh Duggar.

"We are having a special time at the www.fortrock.org marriage retreat in Saint Paul Arkansas on the edge of the Ozark National Forest!" the couple wrote on the Duggar family's official Facebook page this past Sunday. "Beautiful place, beautiful people, beautiful truths!"

While at the Fort Rock Family Camp and Retreat Center, Jim Bob, 50 and Michelle, 49 looked and sounded happy to just have some time to spend with one another. In one of Michelle's previous blog post about marriage, she had stressed the importance of seeking advice and help if the marriage needs it.

The couple has raved about the retreat, stating that it can "draw families closer together, promote teamwork, and realize the value of each family member."

The parents of 19, however, cannot go anywhere without at least some of their children. At the retreat, a heavily pregnant Jessa (Duggar) Seewald, 22, and her husband Ben Seewald, 20, were seen in one picture with Jim Bob and Michelle. Jessa is expecting her first child on Nov. 1.

Aside from starting a family, Jessa and older sister, Jill (Duggar) Dillard, 24, have a new show on TLC. The show, "Jill & Jessa: Counting On," is premiering in December.

In July, TLC cancelled "19 Kids and Counting" after it was revealed that Josh had molested minors when he was a teenager. Two of the underage girls were Jill and Jessa. After the child molestation news broke, Josh was in deep waters again when his name showed up in the Ashley Madison hack. Ashley Madison is a website that helps married/committed people cheat with other married/committed people.
