But over the years, many siblings stopped adhering to all the norms. Many also began to question and tweak what their religion meant to them. It seems like Jana and Jason Duggar were some of them. In an interview, Jason revealed how he ended up meeting his now-wife Maddie and the plans he had for his sister Jana to seek a partner.
