Who got married AFTER having kids?

Question

I mean married to the person whom they had the kids with lol. What was it like? Did you feel like it was just a formality? Especially since you already lived together and shared everything together before you got hitched or did it actually have an impact on your relationship?

Answer 1

Not me.

Answer 2

My husband and I got married when our son was six months old. And no I did not feel like it was a formality because we did not live together before marriage even though we had a child. It's been nearly eight years and still happily married.

Answer 3

My parents...

Answer 4

I did..

our daughter was 2 1/2 yrs old when we  got married, and we just got hitched..

it didn't really change anything since we already lived together and had a child.. except car insurance went down, and we were added to his health insurance.

It was weird at first for me, I kept telling myself youre married now. but we are still together 11 yrs

Answer 5

I did I had our son in 1997 and we married in 2003.. ( he is a little slow ..lol)  We lived together after I had my son.. I didn't marry him because we had a child..that is totally the wrong reason to get married. We got married because we love eachother and have been through so much together.. he is not only my husband but my best friend as well.  

Answer 6

me

Answer 7

Yes I got married after living together for 10 years an 2 boys. Things did not change too much. I think our relationship has gotten better. We talk to each other more now then we did before we got married. We have been married for 6 years.

Answer 8

My best friend got pregnant before marriage.. Now they are starting to wonder that maybe getting pregnant at 18 wasnt such a good idea. 2 years later, they have some huge problems

Answer 9

me, lol!

no, didn't feel like a formality, I actually felt pretty good, like I just got married, a bit "dazed" for awhile, lol!

Yes, it impacted our relationship...  I feel God blessed us for marrying...  

We are in the USA, if that matters...

for the record, I would NOT recommend people living together before marriage, though...  I would NOT do it again this way...never ever...  and we will tell our kids to never do it this way, you can get screwed over, people will mess up your credit, etc...  (my husband and I were just "lucky")

like the other person above, our car insurance went down, too, lol!
