Should a couple be married before they start a family?

My husband and I were pregnant before we got married. It was a mutual decission because we knew we were going to get married. I also had 2 children before I met my husband out of wed lock. Sometimes things happen that are out of your controll but you deal with them. I love all of my children. All 4 of them. I have 2 with my husband and my 2 oldest are before my husband and I wouldent change a thing because all of my children are precious and I love them all. I dont think it is a sin to have children out of wedlock, but then I am not a Christian, I am a Pagan.

Sometime things happen, but it doesn't mean that the kids are going to be any less loved.

It definitely is a smarter choice. That way it's harder for one parent to run out on the other.

Yes, that is true, but I have known couples that were not married and stayed together for years.

I think a couple should be married before the start a family. That way they can be financially ready, and Like someone said in my faith it's considered a sin.

honestly I think it is up to the couple, I do not think that they SHOULD be married I think that if they have a child together they should be responsible and hopefully if they decide to have and raise that child that that child was made out of love for one another. I am not here to judge at all...

I think it's better to be married before starting a family; but not absolutely necessary. I think it's more important to be financially stable before having children than being married. Anyone having children without being financially stable will have a rough time of it.

I didn't, but I was only 16 when I got pregnant, and my mom said not to marry until we were sure we wanted to stay together, and I'm glad I did it made our relationship that much stronger
