So, the last time the expansive Duggar family weighed in on who was most likely to enter into a "courtship" – an older fashioned way of dating that has couples getting to know each other as a preparation for marriage, with chaperones and side hugs – the Duggar now in one wasn't even on the list.
Josiah Duggar, 18, reveals exclusively to PEOPLE that he has entered into a courtship with Marjorie Jackson, 17 – a young lady he got to know when he was taking Spanish lessons from her mother, Analucia, 40.
The couple officially began courting on April 6, the same day his sister Jill, 23, and brother-in-law Derick Dillard, 26, welcomed newborn son Israel David into the world.
