You never have to get married . That is your decision. Hopefully you will marry for love and you will have the children after your married. It is very important to gte to know each other in a married environment befor you bring a child into the equation. Living togerther is not the same at all because each person knows they can walk at any time so there is not really any commtment made.

Don't get married if you don't want to. But it's a good idea if you are combining households for legal reasons. If anything happens to either of you, you don't want the other family members coming in and taking your stuff away. It's also a good idea for the kids in a legal situation as well.
Otherwise, I think it's just a public pronouncement of your life-long commitment to each other.

Just speaking from personal experience:
I fell in love then decided to get married. After I was married, I was able to have children.
My reason-- because the bible says to do it that way. Also, I always wanted to raise children as a married woman. I was raised w/ a married mother & father and that's what I wanted for my children. It's what works best-- for me, that is:)
I wouldn't dear push my beliefs on anyone-- do whatever works best for you:)

You don't HAVE to do anything. I got married because I love my wife and wanted to profess my love in a traditional fashion. I think it might be less confusing for children if their parents are married, but I don't think it's 100% necessary.

actually neither... people get married because it's more convenient in life. parents nag you to do it, companies make it necessary for benefits for the other person, society as a whole expects it and rejects the idea of just living together. my husband and i were together for 4 years before we decided to get married. we got married for 2 reasons - lots of people were asking us when we were going to do it and so that when he left for the middle east again we'd get separation $... not to mention that i would get benefits. it's silly, i don't think we would have cared either way if it weren't necessary for the benefits and extra pay (are you going to turn down an extra almost $1,000 a month?)

It's the moral thing to do...it's all about sex and love....it's way better on kids to have married parents as opposed to divorced parents or parents that were never married.

So you have a common bond or goal to stay married and provide a good parenting environment if you have kids....

you don't have to get married but it's better for the child to have a mother and father, and to shoe love or you could but them through emotionally damage

Neither, unless you are religious or doing it to keep other people happy you get married to form a legal binding contract about who gets what when you divorce.

you marry the person you're deeply in love with. Then you have kids.
