Baby and married vs baby and not married
Do you think it's better for parents to not be married? If you chose this route, explain why you felt it was a better option for your children. Is it because marriage is a concept to you? Just a piece of paper? Go into details.
Some good arguments: married couples usually have shared assets. If one spouse leaves or becomes negligent, there's more "parental insurance", if you will.
Married households set a standard that people shouldn't have children unless they're married, which may defer young teens from early pregnancy.

Non married couples with children have an average of 2 years before splitting, while married couples average at 13years together. Source: are married parents really better for children? CLASP. p 5
