[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To OP:

While I appreciate your questions...I just was wondering...

Are you writing a paper on relationships and marriage??[/quote]

Hi, OP here.  No, this is my first post on here.  I'm not the one who posted before.  And I'm also not doing a research paper!  I am 23, boyfriend is 25 and we have a 3 year old child.  We are thinking about making the next step toward marriage and I was curious as to how many others got married at our age :)  Thanks for the responses, all.[/quote]

I am a very young mother myself.  However, I sincerely don't think you can really compare your circumstance to most of the other posters -people who got married at your age and didn't already have kids.

I think what makes it different is that you're kind of already together for life (once you have a kid).  You're not going into the marriage and choosing each other, without any outside influence pushing you to do it.  The decision to build a life together likely wasn't deliberate and/or mutual.  There's no comparison between that and two people who chose to accelerate getting married because they desperately wanted to be together.

It doesn't mean that your boyfriend isn't the perfect person for you, but I think you might get more helpful responses if you were to ask women who have had a child out of wedlock about their experiences in marrying the child's father afterwards.

Good luck.
