Duggar Family: Son Josiah Courting A Young Woman

The Duggar family has celebrated three marriages and welcomed four new babies in the last six years, and one more Duggar child may be heading toward the alter soon.

The 18-year-old Josiah has started courting 17-year-old Marjorie Jackson, according to People. The young couple met while Josiah was taking Spanish lessons from Jackson's mother, Analucia.

"It's been going very well," Duggar told People. "I met Marjorie a few years ago, when I was taking Spanish lessons at her house and I was very impressed with the way she was with her siblings and her love for the Lord."

Jackson has four sisters and she also admitted to "liking" Duggar for a while. The couple traveled to El Salvador together in December for a mission trip where Duggar took even greater notice of Jackson.

"She really caught my eye," he said. "That is really where I noticed her."

Duggar and Jackson officially started their courtship on April 6, the same day his older sister Jill and brother-in-law Derick Dillard gave birth to their first son, Israel David. Jill and Derick married on June 21, 2014.

Duggar's older brother Josh married his wife Anna in 2008. They have three children, a daughter and two sons, and are expecting another baby girl this summer.

Their sister Jessa married her husband Ben last November.

The next episode of "19 Kids and Counting" will include a message from Josiah and Marjorie.

"19 Kids and Counting" airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on TLC.
