some people i hear get married after having kids they want them to be present at their wedding? what do you think of this? could you just renew your vows instead rather than getting married only after having kids? some people dont get married because of the cost. and live together without having marraige. some people dont get married because they think after marraige relationship weakens, or it is not needed for a pice o paper to tell you that you can be together. what is your views on this? have u got married ? why did you get married? some people get married because they are pregnant and want to be married before having the baby.

I have been married for four years. Marriage is not for everybody and should be entered into seriously. I don't judge people for their living arrangements. Some people opt to live with each other before marriage. I have thought of renewing my vows just for something nice to do. Not every relationship weakens after marriage but you do need to work on it and keep communications open between one another at all times. You don't necessarily need a piece of paper to prove anything. It is up to the individuals what they want to do to be happy. I wanted to get married because I love my husband and we were living together for a while. We have a small son and I felt it was in my best interest to do.

hi thank you for the response, and yes there a lot of relationships who live together first and then gt married. i hear some like to see how it is like living together before making the real deal. yes loads of people like to renew their vows.. when would you renew them ? when your child is a little bit older? how long have you been married ?

I would like to renew my vows at about five years. I have been married for four years now this month. We have a son who will be five in September so he could be old enough to take part in it or at least understand a little better. Thank you for your comments.

hi well it is up to you when you want to renew vows but since you already have a son dont you think you should wait like till he is about 7 ? because he is only 5 most likely he would forget.

It all really just depends on the person's preference. My husband and I got married before our family, friends and God. We wanted to share our love and commitment with everyone. I think it's fine if people want to get married and have their children present..and why not? Children are definitenly a part of the family. They should be included. I don't see how a marriage could weaken a relationship..if anything I see it becoming more solid. I got married to my husband because I loved him. I finally found the one person in this world who truely got me and understood me. I'm not ashamed of him and feel blessed that I can call him my husband.

hi yes i am not saying it is wrong and you shouldnt get married after your kids are born, but i think if you want to do that it is better to just renew your vows, also if you get married after having kids you might even have a kid after that question is does marraige have more or less meaning if children are there ? no it is still special even if kids are not there. there are some people who like being boyfriend and girlfriend but when they become married this may mean change like they live together and before they didnt this is difficult for some as they may not be able to adjust i have heard this happen quite a few times so sometimes it does weaken. but i am glad to hear that it made your stronger!!

I'm a type of person who wishes to believe in forever...but I must say that marriage is not the sole way for a person to show his/her utmost love and emotions...A bond can be a significance of lifetime devotion, but it's not really that important compared to your personal surrender to commitment and to forever...I would love to be married someday, and by then I would also love to face the so called forever with him...

Marriage is not at necessary to show that you love the other person. Take for example one loves their mom and dad a lot isn't it??? So does that mean that they have to be married to their mom and dad for that??? Not at all Lolzzzz... Also having kids before marriage is something really stupid according to me. If one wishes to spend their life with the love of their life then they could get married and have kids after that. Also just marrying someone because you are pregnant is something stupid ah\gain. Who asked you to get pregnant in the first place?? Its the persons own fault.

What I find from your entire discussion is that violation of the main motto of marriage! You see, marriage is a social responsibility. It is not just a means to solve any created problem that emerges due to any affair between the two! Marriage is a social culture that has been designed and implemented by great men from time long long back for our civilized society. Another thing you have mentioned that some people get married after having their kids, which is quite unsocial and our social structure does not approves this socially, morally and ethically! In Sanskrit, there is an expression, "Putraarthe Kriyate Bhaaryaa!" Means, wife is purposefully accepted for creating offsprings! So what is the defination of a wife if marriage is not there? If so called children are there without a marriage, can we accept them as legetimate children? This is certainly beyond our social approval! Regarding me, I have been married before twenty years as per our Hindu tradition and culture and my children are now nineteen and seventeen years of age. I may say that I accepted marriage for a complete social individual and believe that a healthy society is only possible if pre-marriage as well as marriage and post-marriage process is fully guided by moral values at any circumstance. Thanks for your nice discussion on society!

I dont think so. Marriage is an important aspect of life and is done sometimes as an essential thingin our society, so in that case marriage does not show love to each other. I think there anr many other ways a love can be expressed or showed. Also love is not something to be shown, it is to be felt. So, if both of you are feeling that you are in love with each other, you dont need to show and hence no marriage is required.

Dear friend, I hope if married it could be a legal proof and moreover the love is more over can be showed with out marrying too. It is trust and sincerity between each other. More marriage could be much of legal value for the lovers and their childern. Love is much of trust and believing each other. Marriage could make it much stronger and marriage just a formalty to gat a certificate of legal side it depends upon one's beleif in customs and culture too.

hello friend,I think it is a interesting topic.Now, i think more and more young people would like to spend a free life.so even though they don't marry,they can live together like a family.Maybe that is because they love each other a lot. For me, if i love a girl,i will marry her firstly,then have the baby.I think it is a normal process,not the ones who ate pregnant have to marry.I don't think this style.lol good luck

I think it is good idea because they will having some kids so its better they get married to have the bless of GOD many people think like that.Some people are not ready with married talk they still want to enjoy they life,and some get married beause they accidentally having a baby so they want that baby will have a nice family.Oh yes your right it not easy to prepared a wedding specially if your work is only for living thing afford.Some people do savings after they get married.For me i think married is not important but many people wanted to be really together in front of the GOD that why they do the married.I am married now and it felts so nice because everybody will called you as your husband last name not like only hhmm she is just a live in partner that all.I get married to be sittle down a family.I am not a pregnant untill now in that matter me and my husband need to talk about it maybe soon .
