you know.... i hate to bring this up, but they are Catholic, and in the Catholic church the only reason they give for marriage is to have children.

i know someone who is doing this, and while the couple are really great friends, too, she really doesn't "love" him, but wants a baby that bad, and won't do it unless they are married. he, on the other hand, has loved her and wanted to marry her for quite some time. he knows she doesn't quite have the same deep feelings for him and wants to have a baby with her, but he loves her enough to feel it's going to work.
Then why get married? She could just have unsafe sex, and go from there. As for the pre nup, that's for people who have something to lose. This guy is broke.Originally posted by: TheGoodGuy
tom leykis rules: NO, dont ever do it. If you do sign an iron clad pre nup .. but most likely this woman is looking for Childsupport and an easy life.

If she respects him, it can work. my parents have been married for 30 years, and they never felt the spark. (kind of an arranged marriage) My mom always tells the story about how she always thought my dad was a lazy bum, and the only reason she married him was that she was getting old and he was her "last chance"
fast forward to now, 2 kids, still together, and they bicker like an old, married couple.
But it's not just anyone, he loves the girl.Originally posted by: BillyBatson
it could work out, some marriages are little more than arragments and everyone is happy becuase ignorance is bliss. She could also grow to love him in time especially once the baby arrives, but she could also grow to hate him
tough call
if i did it wouldn't be with just anyone
