Were your parents married?

Oh wow this discussion is a bit old sorry! My parents are VERY old fashioned so yes they were married when they had both my brother and I! They were married 4 years when they had my brother and 6 years when they had me! It wasn't really a big deal for us as most people never cared or brought up if their parents were married or not so we never really knew, and I don't think we really cared either!

My mom and dad weren't even a real relationship, lol. The only thing my mom knows about my dad is his name, and I'm not even sure if that's his real name or if she made it up to let me think she knew his name!

This is a really good discussion baby,and I know that a lot of different people have opinions when it comes to being married when they have children,and I am sure there are a lot of people whose parents were married when they were born,and then I am sure there are a lot of people whose parents were not married when they were born, and I know that your parents were not married when you were born,and my parents were married when I was born,and I do not think it affected me much,because when I was little my dad was always out on a truck trying to make money,and I think that a couple should be married when they have children,because I think it is better for the child,and I know we will be married when we have children,especially since we will be married in a little over three months,and I can not wait to spend the rest of my life with you,I love you with all my heart and soul, I hope you get a lot more quality filled responses,have a great day,good luck with all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting.

hello... my parents were married. they've been together for 29 years now and still going strong. i saw the ups & downs of their relationship and i'm happy how they solved the problems that's coming in, how they hold on with each other even on the toughest part of their relationship. they almost separated but thanks God that does not happens. and through that experiences i witnessed in their lives being couples i can say that it affects me positively. because i see how much they value their marriage. although their relationship is not perfect still they don't let problems & trials destroys their vows... i wish my husband and i can also be together forever, that we will not be destroyed by any problems, trials and difficulties that may come in our lives...just like my parents! its nice that you have a thought of getting married first before having a baby! looking forward for you and your fiance to get married and have a fruitful and happy years of marriage! cheers! God bless... have a nice day!

My parents were and still are Married they are going on 35 years on June 23rd... I belive couples should be married before they have children. Unfortunetley it didnt work out for me that way.

My parents were married. After about 25 years of marriage, they got a divorce. I think your parents are a perfect example of why marriage doesnt always mean as much as people thinks it does! You dont have to be married to love each other. You dont have to be married to successfully raise kids together. All it takes is a commitment - marriage is just a formal announcement of that committment! I am already married. We dont have kids, yet.

Yes, my parents were married. While I was growing up I was proud of the fact. Most of my friends parents were divorced and/or remarried. Unfortunately it didn't last and my parents divorced when I was 10 (after 20 years of marriage). Maybe parents should be, but being married doesn't change how they feel about their children. Or does it?

They were married before having children. But the 2nd and third man of my mother, it is not married. That in my views in my married life if possible i would love to have children after marriage.

My parents were married and my dad passed away still married to my mom. They would have been married to each other this year in May for 26 years. I want to get married to my current boyfriend but we have somethings we need to work out between us first before we take that leap. To get married is not easy and it comes with A LOT responiablity. Take care and happy mylotting friend :)

My parents were married but at a very young age..it wasn't good for them. They divorced before I was two and my grandparents raised me and they went on to live their lives. I think that it depends on the people involved. I think that it's better to be married but sometimes it doesn't work out like that for some people and it turns out to be a better thing. It really depends on the people involved.

My parents are married. In fact most parents are married here before giving birth though the trend is changing. Will it affect me if they are not? I can't say for sure but what I do need is that if a couple really love each other so deeply that not getting married is kind of strange to me. Getting married is like making a life-long commitment to your significant partner that you will be by his/her side for the rest of the life and you are willing to announce it, write it down.

Nope, my parents were never married... I was a result of a one night stand... Yes there are days that I wish my parents where married but that would have never happen... my dad was already married... and well there is more then one guy that could be my dad... I never met the man... and proably never will.. I am 27 and well I am just a bad memory for him where ever he is, and what ever he may be doing... When I had my son I was married.. It was easier that way for several reasons; i knew who my baby's dad was, there was a relationship that was bulit before he was born, and at the time i thought that we were stable enough to have a child... We are divorced now.. But whem my son asks about why mommy and daddy are not together I can tell him that we did love each other at one point in time... we just grew apart.. Is there a possiblity that my relationship didnt work because my parents were not married? Honestly I can not answer that, becuse I can not change what has already happen... All I can do now is try not to follow in their foot steps.

My parents will be married 60 yrs this Sept. They have seen so much. Have raised 5 kids. The funny thing is, none of us are married lol. Me, I tryed it twice, never worked out. I will never say never BUT, I dont think I would again. I think it is smart to live with someone before marraige. Get to know their habits, see if you can stand being with them 24/7. I have 2 kids and if they were to tell me they were going to live with someone, Id be fine with that. As long as its not like 6 mths after they just met . As for kids, thats a tough one. Marraige is a commitment, but really, all it is is a peice of paper with your signitures on it. And the kids could have hyphonated last name, both mom and dads. So many people now when they get married , the women keeps her name just because of the possibiltiy of a split.

Yes they are married before i was born. Now they are separated, because of that word exist, cheating. I really hate that and despite the fact that they re separated we are lucky to have a good father like my father. It affect us in a way that here child can not be baptized without marriage contract of the parents.

Hi SomeCowgirl, to be frankly I actually don’t know whether my parents were married. I couldn’t find anything to show that they were married. Normally a married couple at least should have a photo or more as remembrance for the cheerful wedding. I wonder as well whether they stay together intimately just for love. In my thought the wedding ceremony is not so important as long as they can get together and love each other understandingly and lovingly. Yeah, I hope to see the picture of my loving parents in their attractive wedding dress. or I would like to suggest them to take one with their 4 children together Happy posting

my parents are married, but they were never married in the church. they were just married by a judge. Well, its sort of a big deal in a catholic country but i don't feel bothered by it. My parents are now in their fifties and they are still happy together. well, there are still up and downs in the relationships,and there are some misunderstandings too, but thats part of the married life. And looking at the whole picture, its happy and they are.. i know that for sure!

Yeah they were married when they had me unless if they lied to me wich I would be shocked if they werent since they were married for quite sometime before having any kids. So I dont see why they would lie to me like that and im sure I would of found out by now if they were lying to me.

My parents got married. At that time it is normal that marriage first and then having children. But their marriage certificate got lost unfortunately. I love China

Were your parents married? Hi there, yes my parents were married and it is where I got the idea from that I should get married. I think it's kind of strange when you find out as an adult that your parents were never married. I remember as a child growing up. We had a couple that would come to visit with us, I played with their daughter and we had all become the best of friends. Anyhow it was years later that we found out that the couple was never married but they had two children. I just thought it was the oddest thing because they acted like a married couple in every since of the word. Wow, I thought to myself and probably said it out loud to my mom, you just never really know anyone do you?

my parents were married for 3 years before they had my sister, and then had me a couple years later and they're still married to this day. I don't think you have to be married to have a good family life though.
