At this rate, whether through birth or through marriage, we may all become Duggars.
Okay, so maybe the brood isn’t expandingquitethat quickly, but still there’s a lot of them.
So many that it can be hard to keep track of who’s who.
Of course, she won’t be the newest member of the family for very long.
As of this writing, Josiah’s slightly older sisterJinger is expected to give birthany day.
Let’s start with exploring the untold truth of the newest member’s hubby, Josiah Duggar.
His first love
On April 15, 2015, Josiah announced his courtship with Marjorie Jackson.
Josiah further explained that it’s not “recreational dating.”
Essentially, the Duggars mate for life.
However, things didn’t go exactly according to plan for Josiah and Marjorie.
Not marrying your first love is not uncommon outside of the Duggar world, of course.
The odds were certainly stacked against Josiah Duggar or not.
He also didn’t give “recreational dating” the old college try.
Josiah and Lauren first confirmed their relationship status in a briefvideo for TLC.
Lauren announced: “We’re officially courting now.”
Hey, if it works, it works!
As the oodles of offspring demonstrate, the Duggars don’t use birth control.
Though, Jim Bob and Michelle weren’t always against contraception.
It was then that the couple learned that both pregnancies and miscarriages can happen while taking birth control.
“They were grieved!
They were pro-life!”
they wrote ontheir site.
They felt responsible for the loss of the pregnancy.
Like his parents, Josiah is adamantly pro-life.
other rules aren’t as explicitly spelled out.
One of which is social media usage.
If you search for the personal social media accounts of unattached Duggars, you’ll come up short.
Even 28-year-oldJana Duggaris absent from Instagram.
We’re sure Lauren appreciates that!
In Josiah’s case, he met ex-girlfriend Marjorie Jackson through her mom for real.
In an interview withE!
Marjorie’s mother, Analucia, was Josiah’s tutor.
If he did continue, it was likelyprettyawkward.
Unmarried young men, aged 17 and up, are encouraged to apply.
Now that Josiah is married, his ALERT days are officially behind him.
Josiah is no exception.
While starring in a popular reality show certainly helps to pay the bills, Josiah has additional secular ambitions.
In abirthday video for Josiahposted to Facebook, Jim Bob revealed Josiah’s plans at just 20 years old.
“He’s been doing some preaching at some of the nursing homes around,” said Jim Bob.
It was clear his parents were especially proud of their growing son.
After getting his pilot’s license, Josiah started taking to the open skies.
“I go fly around and dart through the skies, so everybody, watch out!”
Josiah said in an interview for TLC.
Another one of Josiah’s siblings, Joseph, also detailed some of his and Josiah’s favorite hobbies.
Idle hands are the Devil’s playthings … or something like that, right?
Scanning assortments of random items can be exhilarating no doubt.
