The “19 Kids and Counting” star Josiah Duggar is on Instagram now. The teenager forayed into the picture sharing apps on April 14, just a day after he announced that he was courting Marjorie Jackson. His first ever Instagram picture was of a bumper sticker that read when good people do nothing, evil thrives. He added a hashtag along with it of bumper sticker, do good. But on April 15, Josiah shared a picture of the new girl in his life.

The candid picture showed both of them together. “I’m so excited to announce that I'm courting Marjorie Jackson!” he captioned it. The hashtag he gave it was 19Kids @peoplemag @duggarfam. Josiah revealed on Sunday that was in the early stages of a relationship with Marjorie, who is just 17. He has already got a 134,000 fan following. Theirs is a courtship, which is an old-fashioned and conservative way of dating. It is a kind of relationship where two people come to know each other in due course with elders guiding them. They are not allowed to kiss till their wedding day.

The teenaged couple met each other when Josiah was taking Spanish lessons from Analucia, Marjorie’s mum. They started dating on April 6, the same day when his elder sister Jill Duggar and her beau Derick Dillard welcomed their first child. Both the families have approved their relationship. Marjorie’s dad Greg Jackson said that he and his wife were not surprised with what was coming as they already had inkling about it.

Meanwhile, Marjorie is an actress and a pianist and has written a book that encourages young girls to read the Bible. Josiah’s parents Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar are all praise for their son’s choice. “I was very impressed with the way she was with her siblings and her love for the Lord,” said the teen about the new love of his life.

This week on TLC’s hit show “19 Kids and Counting” fans watched a special message from Josiah and Marjorie. The episode aired on April 14 and also showed the birth of Josiah's nephew Israel David Dillard in advance for Mother's Day on May 11. Jessa Duggar also tied the knot last year and so it remains to be seen which Duggar is going the marriage way next.
