do you have to be married to have children?

Question

so i been with my boyfriend for 2 in a half months.. everything is going good but he wants a baby .. i told him but do you want to marry me later on? and he goes yes but it doesn't matter if it goes in the order  i mean i know that because i have family that never been married but yet have 5 kids lol ... But should i be worried if my boyfriend wants babies first ? then married?

Answer

I would be more worried by the fact that he wants a baby after 2 and a half months.

Answer

I'd be worried that he's ready to have a child after 2 and a half months. That is not an appropriate amount of time before deciding to have a child with someone. I agree that the order doesn't matter and you certainly don't have to be married, but I would never encourage having a child with someone after such a short period of time. Be careful.

Answer

I wouldn't have a baby yet, 2 months seems a bit early. The real question is do you want to get married first or not.

Answer

You dont have to be married but i do think 2.5 months is a tad soon

Answer

No not exactly but i wanting kids after 2.5 months of being together throws up some red flags for me lol

Answer

I think you should date longer before you do either of those things.

Answer

Yes marriage first. Then babies.

Answer

I'm not married and I have a baby with the guy I'm with. We've been together almost 3 years

Answer

Answer

No you don't have to be married to have a kid at all
