Would you get married because you accidentally got pregnant?

I would say no. Marrying someone just because you got pregnant doesn't assure you of a happy married life. Older people think they should since they got themselves pregnant with that person and should be responsible for their action. However, if you get married to a person who got your pregnant but you're unsure if you love him or if you'll live a happily married life, you'd probably end up giving the child a miserable life where she/he sees his/her parents not getting along, fighting all the time, etc. or worse, breaking up, and would leave the child growing up to be an insecure person.

I agree about this. I wouldnt marry a guy who wants to marry me because he is the father of my baby. He can still be the father of our baby even if we dont marry, He can still be there for our baby. Women are judged if theyre into this situation in my country but who cares. Family is the foundation of a child so it is ideal for the baby to have it butIf you are really not inlove then dont marry. It will only make the situation worst and none of you, your husband nor the baby will be happy in the end.

Dear friend, MARRIAGE MEANS When someone begins on that arrangement called marriage, he is getting into something which is, to say the least, adventurous. When a couple get married, they are doing something they know nothing about. And, from all indications, when they have tried it more than once, they know no more about it the second time than they did the first. Marriage is the foundation of the family unit. In this society and time, the family is the closest knit, self-perpetuating, self-protecting unit. It is necessary economically and otherwise to the society the way it is set up in present time. A culture will go by the boards if its basic building block, the family, is removed as a valid building block. So one can be fairly sure that he who destroys marriage destroys the civilization. The marriage relationship, basically, is a postulated relationship. A postulate is a conclusion, decision or resolution about something. When people stop postulating a marriage, it ceases to exist. That is what happens to most marriages. It isn’t the other way around. It isn’t that all men are evil, so therefore, contracts such as marriage dissolve usually in infidelity and go all to pieces. That is not true. The reverse is true. When you have a purely postulated relationship, you have to continue to create it. And a family which doesn’t continue to create itself as a family will cease to exist as a family. That’s about all you need to know about it. Where people are having trouble with marriage, it is because they are expecting it to run on automatic. They think it will hang together through no effort of their own; unfortunately, it won’t. It has to be created.

No I would not get married just because I was pregnant. That is the wrong reason to get married because you will always blame the child if you cannot make your marriage work. The child would always be in the middle of your relationship. You need to choose to get married because you are in love and want that for your life.

I would not marry a guy who only wants to get married to me simply because he's the father of my baby. Whether or not we get married he can still be the father of our baby. Not only that but he can still be there for our baby. Why get married to a guy just because of that if you aren't in love then it is isn't right.

I have a similar topic i made a week ago, several days earlier than you. Follow the link. Kinda sucks when i see a similar topic like mine especially if all the responses i expected are here. But anyway, the link is.... http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/626479.aspx

i completely agree with you,i would say never get married just because of the kids,it sounds mad but its not its not a good reason

No. That is not enough reason to get married. Always you have to get married for the right reasons and that is because you have found the right man and love.

I think you are right marriage should not take place just because of the kid. In a marriage like this perosn would not be able to teach kids about value of love as they will lack that in them. may be after a while couple would start feeling the burden of raising the child as he was not born out of love and they are forced to put on an act because of him, it will not jeopardise their relationship but also will set a bad example for the child too.

yes i agree with you. Couples should marry with the right reason and that is because of love and not because the girl got pregnant and decide to marry each other. It is because if they are not sure that they love each other and not just being responsible for it, in the future they will have a problem and the only pity for it is the child. Love is one of the strong foundation in a relationship.

oops i m male..

I get married because i was accidentally pregnant. And i really do regret this decision i made in my past.Anyways, i have my youngest son Miko!I had my son after 5 years of our marriage life.And he is the reason that i am happy in my present life no matter how painful my decision affects me.But now, its been 3 years that we are already separated. And that is one reason, married in a wrong time!

I say no
