Worldly answer I'd say waiting until you know someone is the best choice.

Godly answer is if your fornicating than marriage is the first thing to do especially if you're living together because if you're not married you will get judged for that and that's sin unrepented and you can go to hell.

@mamabear777, both

Do you want my worldly opinion or Godly opinion??

@mazeyy09, I understand where you are coming from I wanted to wait to have kids until I was married and old enough but when I was 18 I made the decision to have sex and we got pregnant which I don't regret at all but I think it's great that you were able to wait until then to have children because I wish I could've done it and we have talked some but not a lot and I will try telling him why I feel that way and @shelsynikkol I've told him that before that we don't have to get married right away but he still is nervous about it. He doesn't get mad or upset and he used to say (a couple years ago and around the time I got pregnant) that we weren't ready because we weren't mature enough for that type of commitment and I know he was right because we had a long way to go but now he says it's not that. I think he is scared that we will end up like our parents and get divorced but I may be wrong

you can always talk about it to him it doesn't hurt! just because y'all get engaged doesn't mean y'all have to get married right away! i told my husband i wanted to be married before having kids and we were both ready for that step in our life. if he gets mad or upset then ask him why it upsets him and his point of view on it.

Well for my situations there were certain things that he had to do. I refused to live with him or have children until he made that commitment to me. There's nothing wrong with people who do I just didn't want to be in limbo with years later about it. But you have to express to him what you want and why.

@mamesey, @mrsb78 @shelsynikkol @mazeyy09 @ehq @expectingfirstrainbow @alexalexa @mommarodey @mamabear777 is it wrong of me to want to get married after 4 years together, we make life decisions together, we live together, we know we will get married eventually, and we have our daughter (not to mean that everybody who is in similar situations should or need to get married especially if they have a child but I think this is right for us) he thinks we should wait for a few more years but I think we should in the next year (at least get engaged) and I'm not trying to pressure him into it because I know that would end up in an unhappy marriage I just want to talk about it and see where he is coming from so I know why he wants to wait and so he can see why I don't want to wait
