I agree with you 100%. While I'm glad that they didn't abort and that they at least intend to get married, I would be happier if they had "set aside their own interests to make this child their highest priority" by getting married as soon as possible once they found out she was pregnant.
That crossed my mind as well. Why any delay in marriage? What does he need to do that prevents him from marrying her? Have a small private ceremony and be done with it. Given what I have seen of him, a small private ceremony followed by a brief honeymoon then four years in the army beginning with six months training at Fort Benning would be exactly what this guy could use.
Totally agree, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and blame the need for insurance coverage for the birth for the delay in marrying, but they should get married, asap. This is looking more like a Jamie Lynn Spears situation every day.
I agree, Uta....I, too, wish those kids would have gotten married as soon as they found out they were pregnant. I admire them for how they’re handling this huge mistake, but I’m disappointed that they’re likely going to make a big deal about the wedding and spend a ton of money.
In my opinion, pregnancy outside of marriage disqualifies you from celebrating the ceremony. It should have be done quietly and quickly. That’s just me....
I guess I've been around too long because I had the same thought. Marriage should come before the baby carriage but the current "culture" makes up its own rules.
Thanks to this skewed culture, nearly half of marriages end in divorce, and there's a high rate of failure for teenage marriages. The solutions are obvious.
