If courting leads to putting a ring on it, then yes.
There’s a new courtship in Duggar-ville. It’s not a new relationship, or dating scene, or casual fling, it’s a courtship. Aka wedding prep.
‘Courtship’ is a time in a relationship preceding a couple’s engagement and marriage. Of course they get to spend time together first to decide if they want those wedding bells to ring, but we reckon this courtship is going to end with a happily ever after.
So, it now seems that the next Duggar in line to put on a ring on it will be 18-year-old Josiah Duggar. He announced on his Instagram account today, “I’m so excited to announce that I’m courting Marjorie Jackson! Go to PEOPLE.com for all the details!”
Jessa Seawald (his older sister) regrammed the image with a caption that said, "Another Duggar is courting! Congrats to my bro Si and his girlfriend Marjorie! @SiDuggar"
Now Josiah and his new belle, Marjorie Jackson, 17 need to get through their courting stage following all of the Duggar rules, which include: being chaperoned everywhere and using side-hugs as the only form of physical contact. Hand holding is strictly off limits until they're engaged and as for kissing - don't even think about it until you're married.
Duggar and Jackson first got to know each other when Josiah was taking Spanish lessons from Jackson's 40-year-old mother. They officially began their courting on April 6th this year (the same day his sister Jill had her baby).
