I was wondering if its really go0d for our relationship to end and enter into the world of WED COUPLES. I am not yet certain if we're going to push through our wedding. Im already preggy. So my partner and i decided to get married. Im n0t sure if we're gonna make it.we have lack of money, sometimes even trust. I love him. But is LOVE enough reason and being preggy to get married? If you were in my shoes,would you pursue getting married?

Just because you are pregnant does not mean that you have to get married. You have to consider a lot of things before deciding to getting married such as being financially stable and being emotionally ready for the marriage. Also, you have mentioned having trust issues with your partner, you definitely need to sort this out before getting married because it can become problematic in the future for you. Good luck on whatever you decide...

From you post, i can see you love your boyfriend, but you really do not have enough money for setting up a new family. It is really a hard choice for you now. If you tell your boyfriend that you can not make sure that your marriage will go on well in a money lack situation, he may be hurt by the way and your relationship may not as good as now. If you decide to marry with him, money will be a problem in your life, for you need money to buy many things. If lacking of money for a long time, you may fall in the money trouble all the day and can not enjoy the happiness of marriage. So maybe you can make out a plan with him to find ways to increase your income, and then get married and work following the plan.

hi there, i can feel, from reading your discussion, that you are in doubt like you're still not ready. you have to think it over and over again because it is a very tough decision to make. getting married just because you are pregnant is not really an option. yes you love each other but you are also not financially stable. if it was me, like with my situation right now. if i got pregnant, i still wont force it that my boyfriend and i get married even though he is financially stable and i know i will have a good life with him. you know why? because it is different if i also have my own money, something that is also my own. because i can't just keep on depending on him. just think it over and when you are ready then of course, it is still your decision. and also think about this, that at the end of the day, you are happy with your decision good luck and be safe

I honestly don't prefer marriage because you are just pregnant and to think that you are asking this questions makes me wonder also if you are ready to get married. We cannot do anything about the baby, but once you too are married and end up regretting it. Let the baby test if both of you are truly loving each other despite differences, financial and other problems that will come along in raising that child.

If I were you, I am not gonna married with my bf. Because married is A big deal. Life after married is not as easy as everyone though, there are a lot of obstacles in our way to keep the image of married good and going on. Even, you don't really trust him, it's gonna worst everything. Maybe you should wait for some moment..., I just wish the best and a happy ending for you sis...,

Love and being pregnant are not enough for you to consider getting married. Actually, since you already did the thing which usually is being done by married couples, then I think you and your partner are considered married in the eyes of GOD. However, for your child's sake, you and your partner need to get married. To consider marriage, there are a lot of things to consider. First, are you and your partner financially stable? Second, are you and your partner emotionally stable? Third, are you and your partner mature enough to handle stress and problems with regard to this matter? If yes, then you should not hesitate to get married with your partner whom you loved. There are churches that give free wedding and I think that is the true wedding; wedding that is free of charge in accordance to GOD's will.

Don't get married because you are forced to, like what is happening to you because you will find many problems in your marriage life. Your partner may get bored with you. This time you are still okey since you two are still very much in love.

Congratulations!! I think it is already late to get married. As long as you are pregnent, don't wait any more. Go for the minimal expenses and get married as soon as possible with a least cost combination. Find out a suitable time for both of you (both your families) and get married. If it is in our country, we will get married in the Registrar office. That is, just go to the Govt. Registrar office alongwith 2 witness for the groom and bride and register your names as got married. It is so simple and you will have to spend only nominal fees as simple as a break-fast expenses. So, it is my request for you that understand yourself for the importance of getting married and find the best time and do the important function with a simple way. All the best and I think your next discussion may be the news about the marriage and I am eager to know about it. Best regards Thank-s

I'd agree to what the previous two person said, being pregnant is not a reason for you to get married, because you have to consider a lot of things, that is being holistic, Are you Financially, Spiritually, Psychologically, Socially prepared? as of the moment you might want to focus on your pregnancy, 'coz once you are maried there is just no way looking back, maybe you can get a divorce or an annulment but are you ready to go through it? Think a thousand times. Especially nowadays, there is no way you can't spend a penny. Being married is also surrendering your past, that is living a new life, make sure that the two of you are ready.

Only you can answer that one and possibly your BF, and if you're already preggie then it's by no means an excuse to get married generally. If you feel like you are both in love then you can still make it, but do try to get over the trust issues, that can harm a marriages bigtime. Make sure you say I love you to each other everyday and make each other happy and know that you are both loved. Money can be a problem for many these days not only newleyweds, but I hope that will get better.

well get married not for any reason. get married because your both in love with each other. As long as you know how to earn money surely financial matters will be solve. Always remember that, what ever the problem, you will stick together to give your child the atmosphere of a home and a complete family.

Love is not the only reason why you should marry somebody. Love is not permanent and will not last for ever. (I am talking about the love, mainstream and hollywood made us believe in... butterflies in your stomach, your hands are sweating etc) I am really sincere with you about that. Love is more than this! And just you will know it. THe trick is to know if you want to live with this person the rest of your life or not. If you want to talk and just feel his presence every morning. If you really want this you should consider if you have the possibility of getting married. If you have financial problems, wait until everything is solved. If you don't trust him sometimes, then something is not right and you definitely should wait. Maybe you are not that in love like you thought. But thats just my opinion, listen to your heart and than listen to your brain.
