SHOULD PREGNANCY BE ENOUGH REASON FOR A COUPLE TO GET MARRIED?

No, no, and no! As much as I am not in support of promiscuity, and people having children from multiple partners, I do not think being pregnant with someone’s baby is enough reason for that person to marry you. My reasons are simple; marriage goes beyond having a baby for someone. Of course, I admit that children are a vital part of marriage, but it isn’t the ultimate, and it certainly doesn’t end there. Before you go into a marriage relationship with anyone, you must consider a host of factors— Is the person compatible with you? Do they get you? Can they tolerate you and make you better?…among other things.

A lady can be pregnant with your child, and still not possess those basic qualities you want from your wife because sometimes these things just happen. I’ve seen babies that are a product of a one night stand— between total strangers. Would you advocate for a marriage between such a couple? I wouldn’t! Unless of course, they eventually develop mutual feelings overtime.  So as much as we want to have minimal cases of people having children from different partners, we must also point out the need for people to get married on the basis of what they really want, and not what situation has provided them with.

Pregnancy is not a proof of love and genuine connection. Unless the person you’re pregnant for, or the one who is pregnant with your child has everything you need in a spouse. Marriage is too serious a business for mistakes to be allowed.
