getting married just because you conceived a child out of wedlock.....
Basically, my parents have been pressuring me to do this. I don't really see a point. If I already conceived a child out of wedlock, then what's the point of getting married before the baby is born. It's not going to fool anyone, you know what I mean. If anyone thinks about the dates, they will know we got married because we conceived a baby out of wedlock. So what is the point.
The way I see it my parents are falling victim to some sort of stupid sense of morality (that makes no sense) and societal norms. We are going to get married eventually, but not right away, and not because thats "what we are supposed to do."
My parents brought up the fact that a lot of people are going to talk (and they were talking about themselves, and not really about my girlfriend and I.) They were saying "we are so involved in the church, blah blah blah, everyone is going to talk about it." And to be honest, I have to say its pretty selfish to say stuff like that. I think its actually a big part about what my parents think about this is what friends, family, and strangers are going to think about THEM. Well you know, this isn't about them.
I don't know, do you guys have an opinion on these things?
