Well, it’s about time! Jessica Simpson finally got married to Eric Johnson!!! They’ve only been engaged for 4 years and had 2 kids!
Obviously, it’s a different time. People have kids all the time without getting married.However, having a baby with someone is a bigger commitment than marriage. Not matter what happens, when you have a baby with someone, you are stuck with them for life because you share a child together.
Maybe I’m old fashioned, but there is no way in hell I would have someone’s baby without being official. At least that way if things don’t turn out like planned, there’s a court of law to back me up.I know the legal system isn’t perfect and there are a lot of people that would disagree that it does any good with dead beat dads, but it’s better than nothing.
I’m not saying I’m perfect. I do understand sometimes accidents happen. I just need something a little more permanent before I pop out your baby.
Maybe it’s because I’ve known too many people where things haven’t really worked out and now they’re stuck taking care of a baby without any help.
Or maybe it’s because I’ve seen one too many episodes of teen mom.
