Does having a baby is an enough reason to get married?

Get married so they wouldn't have any problems with birth certificates.

A baby on the way is not good reason enough for people to get married. It depends on how they feel about each other and how much they know about each other. How long have they gone out? But it seems they are both in stable jobs and they can support their baby without living together or they can move in together, raise the baby and marry later on after trying things out. There are something about a person you will never know till you live with them.So please let them weigh thier options properly before making such a big step.

Marriage can be wonderful and fun and comforting and when raising children is sure helps to have two people to share this responsibility but marriage is not easy and you have to love and respect each other. I know alot of single mothers and they do just fine never marry if it doesn't feel right. trust your own intuitions

they should ger married if both of them love each other and have the stable job. the baby is also a god's gilf ,at the same time ,there are not teenage any more,they can make a happy living

Nope. getting married is not just for having baby. I think marriage is a point where real life of a person starts. Marriage is a second name for "final love",which starts after marriage till the end of their life.

for me, having a baby is not the basis for getting married. simply because, being a single mom or dad is not a crime. marriage should need so much preparation and the persons involve should be both ready before entering such commitment otherwise, the marriage wont work out and the baby would be greatly affected.

if she isnt ready, she shouldnt feel forced to get married because she is pregnant. however, is she also ready to have a baby or not? i think its a good thing that the guy is willing to stick around and commit for the sake of the baby. a lot of guys would just freak out and run away, but he seems like he wants to be a good father. they dont necessarily have to get married now to raise a child. they can still stay together as they are and raise it. i think, ultimately, its up to both of them to figure out a suitable solution.

As both of them are stable, I think they can marry now. If they are comfortable with each other, then there is no problem in marrying. As also the baby is on its way, it will be also good. The child should also get a healthy family life.

Not really. If both of you are sure with each other and love each other and at the same time stable in your jobs then, there is nothing to worry about, you can marry anytime you want.

Personally I do not think having a baby should be the reason for a couple to get married. I do believe they should first make sure that they are getting married because they are sure they love each other and that they are ready to take the plunge. The baby should not be the deciding factor for them to tie the knot. But its good that your friend and her BF are both happy and excited to have a baby, but I think they should first postpone getting married.

I was in that situation and I chose not to get married or even live with the man at that time. Why? I never wanted to be with him for any reason other than love. I did not want to ever ever question whether or not we were together simply because of the child. We did remain together for a while and almost got married. We ended up going separate ways and I was glad we took our time. He is a good dad and we get along fine raising our daughter together but we are very different and it is so much better for our daughter having us live in seperate households .

No, I don't believe that it's enough of a reason to get married because of a baby. It also depends if they are mature enough to make a commitment. They may be financially secure and all but if she has doubts then I think that they should wait until they are both really sure. It is a big commitment and I wish them both the best in whatever decision they decide to make!!

Having a baby should not be the main consideration. The couple should be emotionally and financially prepared before they commit for marriage. In your friends' case, they are of right age already and they seem to be financially stable too, i don't know why they still have apprehensions to get married. Aren't they sure yet that they really want to spend the rest of their life together? If this is indeed the case, then its better to give them ample time to decide on the matter. However, there are some risks involved. If they have the baby now and they end up not marrying each other at the end, the child will be considered illegitimate under the Philippine Family Code. However, the child may use the surnanme of his father under new law RA 9255. If they end up marrying each other, well and good for the child.

I donnot think having a bady is an enough reason to get married,but it is an important reason to get married,the best reason is right time,right place and right people.I think if someone want to get married,they must think a lot of things,after all,marriage is an important thing in our life.

Nowadasys, I don't think that marriage is the solutions when the woman gets pregnant. What if the woman doesn't really love her partner? It will be a burden for the woman if that's the case. They can still take care of the child even if they are not married. But if they really love each other, why not get married. Your friend should really make a wise decision or else it will be a mess. I hope I was able to help you.

Well, I speak from experience on this one. I was dating a guy that I loved a great deal and planned to marry in the future. I got pregnant(very unexpected) and when I told him, I wasn't sure that he wanted to be a dad. However, he said that he would take responsibility and that we should go ahead and move on with the wedding plans. Well, I just wasn't quite ready to take that jump into marriage and so I decided that I would just tell him that we would wait for a little bit. A few months before the baby was born,I discovered that he had been and still was cheating on me and that he had another girl pregnant too. I was so thankful that I could just walk away from him and although, my child would be his and carry his name,I knew that I would not have to deal with him much. He has since given up all rights to her and my husband adopted her 7 years ago!! So, NO being pregnant with someones baby is not a good enough reason to get married. Tell your friend to take her time and decide what she feels is best for her and the baby!!

They're stable and they're in love, so I don't see anything wrong with them getting married. She shouldn't do it just for the sake of the baby though.. it's unfair to expect a child to flourish in a relationship based purely on his or her existence and not love and respect between his or her parents. If she feels she's not ready for tying the knot, but loves this man and does want to spend her life with him eventually, then she should accept the proposal and wait it out until after the baby is born. In this day and age, there is nothing wrong with a baby being born to two unmarried but loving parents, so there's no need to rush.

Love is the main criterion for the marriage,if they marry today, and divorce tomorrow will not beneficial for both.better take a firm decision and sure of what they are going to do.since she is pregnant let her give birth and give it to her boyfriend.otherwise, it is advisable if she keep the child they should be married.otherwise lady's future life will be in doldrums.

Getting married is a wonderful thing, only if they feel to get married by heart. Otherwise just for the sake baby if they wants to get married than it is useless. If they are committed and realy love each other than there is no need to get certified with the piece of paper.When they are having good and stable job. with good relation between them they can live together as long they love each other. I donot find any reason to get married now they can be happy either.

married life is the worst suggestion but if you want that your baby have a good life you always think it first your life or your baby's life having a family is the best thing to make your child happy it's a gift..i guess it may help you..ciao^^
