Most definitely not. Marriage is difficult enough, especially in these days and times. To bring a child into a marriage that was entered into hap hazard simply because the partner is pregnant is dooming it from the start. Most marriage problems start with financial issues. Raising a child is expensive as well as difficult. If the marriage is not built on a strong foundation this alone will cause resentment towards each other and in some cases even the child. Marriage was originally supposed to be a lifetime commitment. Today that is hardly the case, just look around at how many people are getting divorced.One must make sure that this decision is one you can live with for the rest of your life. It is better for the child to be reared in a loving peaceful environment whether it be with both parents together, parents living separately but both involved in the child's life, or one loving parent. A war zone is no place to rear a child.

that depends on who they are. my hubby and i had been together for 3 months when i found out i was pregnant. we got married 4 months later because we wanted to be married when the baby got here. we've been married for almost 2 years now and have 2 beautiful children. we couldn't be happier and it was the right choice for us. however, if you are low on money or do not have health insurance, i do not recommend getting married before the baby comes. we thought we were doing the right thing and we got screwed. we now owe about $10,000 in hospital bills from our first child because as a married couple we made too much money to qualify for any assistance, even though we barely make ends meet. however, some friends of ours were in the same boat, didn't get married until after the baby and had their baby for free and still receive benefits because they only go off the mothers income.

Well, hate to sound like a prude, but ya sure rushed into getting naked didn't ya? To answer your question, in short no, thats why people should date before doing things like sex. But your courting has taken on a different tone now with a baby on the way. Just do the right thing by the child even if you two don't get married.

How much can you possibly be rushing? You've been having unprotected sex for goodness sakes. Yes, a child deserves the legal protections that marriage provides. A child also deserves 2 full time parents for as long as possible. If you plan on playing house anyway and continuing to sleep together, make it legal. It's the best thing for the child. The baby is the one that counts.
Seriously, what's the difference between living together and marrying now a days besides the fact that the mother and child have legal protections enforceable under the law with marriage?

Absolutely not. If you were not going to get married before getting pregnant you shouldnt get married now.
Children can tell from very early on how their parents feel about each other. If you fight or have any tension, kids know and feel this. I grew up in a home where they "stayed together for the kids". Its not a nice thing.

NO! Two wrongs don't make a right! If the couple is happy a few years down the road, then go ahead, but the damage is already done! The sin is technically already comitted! Being wed only makes it more expensive to separate!

It depends. If I were in love and planning on getting married anyway then I would. If your relationship is just starting and you don't want to spend the rest of your lives together then no don't get married. It's so much more complication to divorce than to split up.
