You Got Her Pregnant, Should You Marry Her?
Author: MInTheGap
When I was a teen, we had a couple of girls get pregnant in our church. Both of them were encouraged to marry the father of the baby. At least one of those marriages is still going today.
But the idea that a teenage mom should marry the father is not settled in Christian circles.
Take this comment from Mouse:
I believe the point of marriage is to glorify God, not to correct a mistake. What is the foundation of a marriage that has a purpose of fixing behavior? That is, teenage sex is a symptom of a deeper heart issue that needs to be addressed. Making two kids get married because the young woman is pregnant is like putting a bandaid on a broken leg.
That said, I believe in young marriage. I believe that is God’s design. But if the point of saying “I do” is to right a wrong instead of serve God through serving your spouse, the marriage is doomed no matter how old you are. – Should Teen Moms Get Married?
