from 19 Kids & Counting originally aired in May of 2017 that showed the reality star discussing her love language style with her mom Michelle Duggar, now 55.
In the video, the family matriarch treated Jessa, now 29, to a coffee to discuss her courtship at the time with Ben.
"I am in a courtship with a wonderful man named Ben Seewald, and we've been courting for about four months now," the TV personality explained in a confessional.

"It's been good. I'm missing him, though," she told her mom as the cameras switched back to the café.
"So he's like super-emotional like a feeling kind of person and I'm really not, you know that," Jessa admitted.
She continued: "I'm kind of just like, cut and dry, and so he's always texting me like the sweetest things.
"He's like 'If I had all the flowers in the world, all the rose gardens in the world I'd give them all to you.'
"And I'm like 'Uh, where would I put em?'"
Michelle then offered some relationship advice to her daughter, saying: "Even though I know that typically you just are real, you know, plain and simple about things, you probably should say something like 'Oh Ben, that is so sweet, oh thank you!'"
"However he expresses love is probably the way that he receives it as well. And on your part, you probably will practice learning how to express that love language that he needs to hear from you to him. And it's a learning process," she added.
FAN CRITICISM
But fans were appalled by the scene, as they claimed the couple might not have been the right fit due to their differing personalities.
"This is gross. They act like Jessa has some kind of defect. There is nothing wrong with being direct and not demonstrative. This is why these people need to stop marrying the first person they meet," one ranted.
"They needed time to find out if their personalities complemented each other or not. If Ben needed someone to reciprocate his romantic personality, he deserved that. If Jessa can't do that for him, she deserved someone who fit her better too," the user explained.
"She would’ve had much more fun with someone Who also had a dry sense of humor and could push her, intellectually I mean. I don’t mean someone mean and sarcastic, but just someone who would get her. I think she’s lost a lot of herself in marriage," a second agreed.
A third noted: "She could have been more tactful in her response, but yeah, this was clearly a sign that they were not a good match. It's sad that they encouraged her to double down and change her personality rather than end the courtship."
"I think it’s sick. Michelle’s response is gross. Others is not as gross, but close. Frightening how people think girls should be raised," another seethed.
"Sooooo....how come it's all on her to learn his love language. Why does she have to give and receive in HIS preferred way? Why isn't she being encouraged to give in his love language and communicate her own so he can learn to give love to her in HER preferred way???Grrrrrrrr," a fifth remarked.
"They think that Jessa having her own romantic style is some sort of bad thing when that is not the case," a final mentioned.
FAMILY MATTERS
Jessa and Ben tied the knot later that year, and now share four children, Spurgeon, six, Henry, five, Ivy, three, and Fern, 10 months.
The couple has raised controversy over the years regarding their parenting methods, inciting fury in fans.
