Jill Duggar Dillardhas made it clear that sheknows the key to marital bliss— but now she’s putting her tricks in action!
This past weekend, theCounting Onstar, 28, and her husbandDerick Dillardleft their two children behind to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary with a romantic getaway to Branson, Missouri.
During their trip, which Jilldocumented on Instagram Tuesday, the couple stayed at a bed and breakfast before getting a chance to explore Branson’s theme park Silver Dollar City.
While they were there, Jill and Derick, 30, also watched their four friends, who are part of the Christian acoustic sibling band Southern Raised, perform on stage in front of a crowd of people.
Of course, no good anniversary trip is complete without a little fun in the bedroom — something Jill certainly knows to be true.
After enjoying an “amazing dinner” at the Keeter Center at College of the Ozarks, the pair took their celebrations back to their room, where they enjoyed some seduction games and a little reading from the Kama Sutra, which is a guide to lovemaking.
The mom of two shared a black-and-white snap of their sexy setup, which also included a Kama Sutra massage oil candle, a plate of Skittles, and a game scorecard that had “Bedroom Edition” written across the top in large cursive letters.
“😄We ended our trip with a fun afternoon at the movies watching#toystory4lol 👫,” Jill wrote on Instagram along her slideshow of photos. “👵🏻🧓🏼👦🏼👶🏻Thanks @cldilla & Bawpaw for keeping the boys!”

Jill and Derick’s sexy getaway comes a few weeks after theCounting Onstaropened up about her sex lifeand marital tips in ablog poston the Dillard Family website, in the hopes of encouraging couples not to let the “fire in your marriage” die.
On the post, Jill wrote that it’s imperative to have sex often, writing, “you both need this time together regularly (3-4 times a week is a good start).”
“When you may not be able to actually have intercourse for a period of time or for health issues, find other ways to have fun and be intimate,” she explained. “Guard against fulfilling sexual desires alone. Be open with your spouse about your desires and change things up to keep it exciting!”
Jill also suggested getting “new lingerie (online is an easy way to buy!) as a surprise gift for birthdays, holidays, vacations or whenever.”

The mom of two explained her reason for speaking out on the matter was because she got “so tired of people saying when we were just getting to know each other, and then as newlyweds too, was stuff like, ‘Oh you just wait’… or… ‘You’re just in that newlywed phase.’”
However, the TLC star did admit that a fading intimacy is common, writing, “I do realize that sometimes things may change slightly due to life changes (e.g. kids, work schedules, etc.), one thing I think we need to recognize is that the fire in your marriage doesn’t have to die out! But like a fire, sometimes, and more so during some seasons than others, you need to be intentional, proactive and work hard to keep the fire going.”
“I don’t claim to know everything about marriage, or to be presenting some solve-all advice, and I’m only really speaking to wives here, but I hope you find some of these tips to be encouraging,” she admitted.
Jill and Derickwere marriedon June 21, 2014, before a congregation of more than 1,000 family and friends in her hometown of Springdale, Arkansas. The couple have two children — sonsIsrael David, 4, andSamuel Scott, 1.
