Marriage After Baby???

So I can not tell you how many people have asked Bryon and I when we're getting married. And we're getting asked more now than before we got pregnant. So here is our answer...we will get married when we decide we will. It could be next month...or next year..or in the next 5 years.  And this is why we haven't gotten married yet..

It is socially acceptable to get married before giving birth to a baby, BUT is it the right thing to do? Is it the right thing for me? No. I believe that getting married just because you're having a baby is a very very bad idea. At least for me it would have been. In my opinion, I feel that a couple is more likely to fail at a marriage just because there's a baby involved. I mean honestly you're already stressing out about preparing for a baby AND THEN you have to stress about preparing for a wedding too? Not to mention after you have the baby you have to get accustomed to your new life with a baby...I think that getting married would make it that much harder. I know SO many people who are getting divorced before the age of 30 because they made a rash decision.

This is my theory on marriage and a baby...as long as you know you'll get married one day then it doesn't matter what order it goes in. Marriage then baby, or baby then marriage. Bryon and I got engaged WAY before we got pregnant so we weren't in any rush to have a wedding for the sake of Autumn. I think that you can successfully take care of a baby together without a marriage certificate just as well (if not better) than people who are married.

And yes there are couples that do get married because they're having a baby and DO have a successful married life..but it's not as common now and days. THIS IS JUST MY OPINION FOR MY OWN RELATIONSHIP...i'm not speaking badly about anyone else's relationship.
