It's kind of weird. If you get pregnant before you marry, there's not much else to look forward to when you get married, because you've already started a family. When you get married, you look forward to starting a family, getting a good job, and living your life to the fullest with the one you love. People nowadays are doing all those things without getting married, so after they do those, what's the point of even getting married?

Except, y'know, giving your love to the one you love in a beautiful ceremony with family and friends and witnesses. Utter devotion on both sides. Being able to look forward to spending the rest of your life with them. Maybe seeing another side of them that you haven't yet.

Yeah, I agree. Not much Rolling Eyes

What Ashlea said.

If you get pregnant before you marry.. well WHOOPS.. Mistake. But you'll still be getting married... The kid will still have two loving parents.

this is specific discussion.
a) using the word "retard" to insult someone is politically incorrect and could cause someone grief
b) we do not name-call here. please refrain from doing so.

i do not see something significantly wrong with having a child before marriage, because sometimes a pregnancy can drive a relationshp apart so at least the person knows that this wont happen. or something along those lines.

Marriage to me is nothing more than a title. As long as you're deeply in love with the person you're having the child with (and you're old enough to take care of the baby) than pregnancy before marriage is fine.

Okay, if you get pregnant BEFORE marriage, and you dont have support by the father and your not with the father, and you are/are not (doesn't matter) underage, then thats not right. But, if you get pregnant before marriage, and you have the support from the father then thats cool at least your not a single mom, i've seen what being a single mom is like, cause thats how I was raised. My mom had a job, but no boyfriend/husband and I turned out fine, then things went to hell and yeah...not so fine anymore.

But personally I think you should have sex/get pregnant after your married. Because then the father is there, and you are in a faithful relashonship(sp?) and you have a better enviorment to raise a child.

and some single mums do a great job bringing children up alone, i have family members who are single perants and they are great perants, at least the children have a lovong and understanding perant to go to, ok then on the other hand some single mums dont do such a good job.

true, sometimes things are better, sometimes things are worse for familys with single parents. but worse sometimes gets better and better sometimes gets worse.....someone always gets the "shitty end of the stick."

I think it is wrong. Because when the girl gets pregnant...she is probobly thinking..everythings going to be perfect.
and then when she tells her partner...he could leave her alone to raise the baby herself. Thats my opinion..because that happened to my cousin.

Yeah.. well, were they discussing having a future together? Had they talked about kids?

I'mneither for, nor against, purely for the reason that my aunt has a child, who I think is 7 or 8 now, and she is still not married to his father, they have an on/off relationship. Everytime they break up, or something goes wrong, she moves/runs away, and takes my cousin with her. My cousin has been to about 8 schools in his entire life. And he is only 7 or 8.

I think its awful for him, because he hasn't stayed in a place long enough to settle down.

But I think it should matter if they are married or not, as long as they are planning on staying together, and they were talking about children, then it doesn't matter.

My cousin's pregnant and she's still engaged. They're not too sure still when the wedding is, but they do love eachother but unfortunately don't have enough time to plan a wedding. I think it's fine if you're sure you're going to be with that person. I mean, teenage pregnancies are a completely different thing, but as long as the child have a mother and father together, that's really all that matters. There are picture of me when I was one at my parents wedding all over the house. Me in my pretty pink dress with the frills and everything. Adorable. Well, of course I am.

I don't think that this is considered much of an issue in my local area any more. Most of the parents aren'r married or engaged, and a small percentage aren't even together.

My sister has 5 kids from her fella, but they've been engaged for years, so are going to get married eventually. However my aunt wanted to get married before giving birth, so in my family theres mixed feelings towards the matter.

I personally no longer think that people need to be married before having kids, however, I do think it is nice when it does happen, since it's a bit of a rareity to me nowadays! (don't I sound old saying that, i'm only 19)

I think its OK to be pregnant before marriage. as long as the child has a stable home and the parents are able to care for it i cant find anything that speaks against it

I don't think there's a problem with it at all. It might be more sensible to wait until you're married, with a house and income etc, for you to have kids, but thta's entirely your decision.

i dont think its a big deal. some people dont feel the need to get married just to show you love someone which is so true. you can still love someone and have a family without being married. but as long as you take responsibilty for the child and give it a good homw i dont see the problem and if your legal.
