Amy took to Twitter after the rumors started and said, “The story I was describing in the Marriage Bootcamp teaser does not involve Dillon in any way. #Ilovemyhusband.” People also spoke to Amy regarding the story, and she clarified that the story is about Dillon, but it was a challenge on the show that they were both involved in. So it looks like the clip shown on television was simply editing to entice viewers to watch Amy and Dillon’s relationship work on Marriage Boot Camp. Duggar also added, “Dillon’s character is upright and he’s a good man who loves me well.”

Amy went on to say that she and Dillon have a solid marriage. Duggar shared that she and King both realize that no relationship is perfect and there is always rooms for improvements. When asked why she and Dillon agreed to go on the show, Amy told People,“For us, it was nothing more than we need to learn to communicate. Dillon has a tone that drives me up the wall sometimes and when we bicker, we have to learn how to talk to each other. We were friends for so long before we got married, so we always joked and said things to each other because we were just friends. Now that we are married, it’s a whole new level of respect that we had to learn.”

Amy and Dillon went on the show knowing it could be rough, but also knowing that it could be a great thing for their somewhat new marriage. Amy described the experience to fans saying, “They put you in this house and while you are working on your relationship, there’s going to be flair ups. There were a couple of times that were really intense and there were tears. I experienced every emotion I could while I was there.”

Now that the show is over and set to premiere in January does Amy and Dillon have any regrets going on the show? Both Duggar and King say they have no regrets. Amy says they are both glad they went to Marriage Boot Camp. Amy says, “I have never been more grateful for going on the show. Dillon and I are on cloud nine. We are really happy we learned how to communicate in a healthy way and we’re completely in love with each other. We are in a very good place.”
