Duggar twins John-David and Jana, both 26, seem to have a difficult time finding their perfect matches. But their siblings are all keen on seeing them enter into a courtship, then get married and start a family of their own.

John-David is actually happy with his single status. He wonders why his siblings are all in a rush to see him married off. "I don't know why [the girls] are so hung up on me finding a woman. It's like they want to get rid of me or something," he says during an episode of "Jill and Jessa: Counting On."

His younger brother Joseph butts in: "Whenever a guy gets married, it's kind of like adding a family member to the family. So they figure, the more the merrier!"

As for Jana, she would love to find Mr. Right and have babies of her own just like her younger sisters Jill Dillard and Jessa Seewald, who are the proud mothers of Israel David and Spurgeon Elliot, respectively.

But as "tempting" as it is to fall in love, Jana says she won't rush into things that aren't meant for her. "I'm not just out to get married to the first one that comes along," she says, adding that she is currently "busy where God has me right now and being content in this place and learning as much as I can."

Jana also admits that there have been several guys who have expressed an interest in her. Unfortunately, she does not feel the right chemistry with anyone of them.

"There have been different guys that [have] come along and asked, but it's just not..." she trails off. "They haven't been the right one. So it's just one of those things."
