| Unfortunately, the mindset way back when was that if you got pregnant, you have to marry. The sad thing is, I wonder how many of those marriages lasted. I know my mom's didn't.
Dan and I have been together for 10 years now and we are not married. We planned to have children about 2 years into our relationship. We are happy and there is no "I can leave because I want to" attitude. Mind you though, without the vows it's a bit easier to leave - but isn't it the attitude with some marriages nowadays anyhow?
Some get into marriages with the thought that if it doesn't go as planned, a divorce is easy to do. |
