Last night I learned that two people from my graduating class in high school had a baby about a month ago.
These people aren't the first two to pop out babies since graduation, but they seem to be the first that actually got married first.
I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but in my view it seems like marriage is now the 2nd thought, after having children?
Is it because the divorce rates are on the rise that people are afraid to get married first in case it doesn't work out?
Is the sanctity of marriage slowly becoming extinct?
I have a wonderful boyfriend right now, and someday I think we'll have children together. But I'd prefer we get married first. Does that make me old fashioned?
I know a wedding can be expensive. But so is having a child (since you do have to see them through for AT LEAST 18 years)
Marriage just seems rare to me now. Am I the only one who has noticed this?
I got married first and stayed married to the same man and all my children have the same father. I guess I'm even more unique? LOL
ReplyDeleteI support the getting married before kids route. I think it's very comforting to the kids.
I bought my wedding dress at a yard sale, made a buffet myself, created the centerpieces with hubby and it was beautiful.

ReplyDeleteIt definitely seems like something unique to get married, stay married and have kids with the same father.
I'll admit, I want the "nuclear" family when I start my own some day. Husband, wife, a couple of kids, and possibly a dog.
