I think, say, 50 years ago, marriage was sacred. I was talking about this with my grandmother the other day. She and my grandfather have been married 55 years. Back then, when they said vows, they meant them. Today it's like "Til death do us part, or until I decide I love someone else in 2 years." So many people get divorced today, I don't think it still has that special meaning it used to.
Plus, the fact that not all the people that are in love can't get married takes a bit of the magic out of marriage. My aunt's a lesbian, and it bothers me that she can't marry the person she's in love with.
It's a shame, but it seems like the whole idea has turned into a joke. Now it's more about getting certain legal rights and getting the biggest engagement ring. Not about love.
Do you really need to be in love with someone to successfully raise a child with them?

I think it helps, yeah. Happy parents = happy child. I'm not saying that's always the case, but I think if the parents are in a happy, stable relationship, it's more likely the child will be happy and stable.

But do you have to be in love with someone to be happy and stable?

No. But if you aren't in love with them, you most likely wouldn't be "involved" with them.
I'm not saying that separated parents aren't good parents. Not at all. I just think when the parents are unified and happy, the child winds up happy.
I have a problem with it, because you could just break up real easily at least with marriage it's harder now-a-dayz also for the child "it'll" have a stable family base.

^ Today it's so easy to get a divorce, actually, that it wouldn't even make a difference. You can get a quicky divorce in just a few days.
Well, I think its better if the people get married before they have a kid. If you don't then most likely the male or female might leave eachother and the kid will grow up with out one of the parents. To me its only okay if the couple plan on getting married, because when they have a sexual relation ship its just because of hormones and they really have no clue on what the consequences are. Personally I think that you should be married or get married before you have an affair.

Usually marriage symbolizes that two people love each other very much... but it never has to prove this. And of course, there's financial and legal issues to deal with when you get married. Is that so nessecary? We're talking about love, not money.
Who ever said you had to get married, just to show that you love each other enough to have a child?
Really, it's just ridiculous.
If you don't then most likely the male or female might leave eachother
That can (easily) happen when you're married.

not a big deal
you have a child when you think you and your significant other are ready to
marriage has nothing to do with if youre ready to have a child
really? in my state you don't have to, which just explained the many fatherless children here.
I think you're misinformed. What state do you live in? Child support regulations are partially managed by the Administration for Children and Families, which is a federal organization so your state doesn't matter.
i live in washington, but when my sister tried to go to court to get child support from her boyfriend, the judge dismissed the request until a dna test thingy was brought as evidence, and it was. it proved that the guy was infact the father, but she was still deniedbecause she was making enough for a one person household.
That has nothing to do with them not being married.

As long as you're in a stable relationship i don't mind.
