Kids before marriage?

Question

Ive been giving this alot of thought and im ready for children and marriage all at the same time. I want to have a baby and get married but its obviously very hard to do both within a year. Also i feel like i would want my children to see me and there fathers love for one another so they know what true love looks like and what to look forward  to in their future. And thoughts please all is welcome :-)

Answer

It's a lot easier to plan a wedding and honeymoon without factoring kids into the equation.

I'd recommend getting married first, enjoy an awesome honeymoon and then let time decide when Baby will join you.

Answer

I'm pregnant and we're not married. We will get married but not bc I'm pregnant. We love each other dearly. The pregnancy just happened before the ring.

Answer

Wait till you get married!

Answer

I'm hoping to get pregnant asap so I planned the wedding around then. Send me lots of baby dust tho as I only have 2 months left tell we have to stop based on the wedding timeline.

Answer

You would have to wait quite a few years if you would want them to remember it. My husband and I had a small wedding. For our 10th anniversary we plan to do a recommitment ceremony. Our kids will be at that. But it's up to you guys and what you decide works for you.

Answer

Depends if you can be patient. My SO is saving for a ring but we decided to start trying for a baby because we're not getting any younger :)

Answer

Do what feels right. My SO and I are unwed and ttc. It's what we want. I know a lot of people that would tell me to wait but I have no reason to.

Answer

My boyfriend is divorced and has a 5 year old. He's also 6 years older than me and at first didn't think he wanted anymore kids. After we got a little more serious and talked about it we both decided we were ready to start trying. 6 months later we found out we are expecting :):) I made him promise me that he wouldn't propose to me while I'm pregnant. I want to save one exciting life event for a little later -(we are building a house together right now too!)

Answer

Our daughter was almost 2 when my husband and I got married. We were going with whatever came first,pregnancy or engagement- pregnancy won! I loved that I got to see what kind of dad he was before we got married! The whole honeymoon thing made it difficult, just because we didn't want to be away from her for too long! 
Either way you go is totally up to you guys- just do what feels right and makes you happy!

Answer

never thought of it that way! my SO and I have been ttc for about six months, and he still isn't ready for marriage. can't quite figure that one out but the way you put it makes me feel better about it haha. I'm obviously not opposed to either one coming first, I never even considered marriage ever until this man
