Quote From: supermom101I understand all that. I am catholic and everything i did was totally against my religion. but i know that i am not going to hell for having a baby before marriage or living with my fiance. The older generation just has to open up there eyes things have changed. just think about it though what is so special about getting married?? alls it is money down the drain, a piece of paper stating your married and you wear a ring! Im just surprised that people are so anal about it. it is 2007 not 1940
People can be very judgmental. It isn’t just the “older” generation, either- I’ve heard people in their 20’s make comments about people getting married “because she got knocked up…”
My husband and I did everything backwards, we bought a home and had a baby, and then we got married. The reason we got married was because I needed health insurance! His employer’s insurance would cover our baby, but not me because we weren’t married. Off to the courthouse we went, it cost $14 to have all official documents prepared. We didn’t think that we would ever get married because it just wasn’t something that was an important priority; we knew that we’d be together and that was all that mattered to us. That is why my advice to you is that as long as you are comfortable with your decision to not marry, then that is all that matters. You can’t worry about what other people think or say, because you just can’t make everyone happy! The bottom line is that it is important that you are happy.
