Why do you think Tom and Katie waited until after their child was born a bastard to marry?

She won't hate them.  She'll grown up to be a good, happy Scientologist with a plastic smile, fake happiness, and plenty of money to rid herself of the aliens that infest her poor innocent body.  \nIn other words, they will have her too brainwashed to believe anything other than the Scientology way of things.  \n\nI don't think it's a big deal that they didn't, but I do wonder why the hell not.  They were planning to anyway, so... ?

The man who I gave my virginity to.  He loved me unconditionally and was my soul mate.  We were together for five years.  He was 16 years older than I was when I was 18.  When I grew up a little I wanted kids, but he his were already grown and he didn't want any more children, so I left.  What a fool I was.  I ended up marrying a total jerk shortly thereafter to whom I was married for 18 years and had three kids.  Oh, I always wished I had stayed with the first man.

When I was married AND had our first (and so far, only) child.\n\nI wouldn't have wanted to have my child with anyone other than my wife.

I sincerely feel sorry for Katie...she should have been on the pill, because no amount of alimony will be worth dealing with that butthead.

I think some people just know. they meet when they are young and know they will marry by the time they are five or something. they are jsut sole mates. if your questioning it makes me wonder if thats your case??  are you two headed in the same direction for your lives have you talked about that? Where do you see yourself in ten year, twenty years. etc

because he's come across as very controlling towards Katie. telling her a new mum to loose 3 stone in 2 months is dangerous and not cool.

no I don't.  It seems like Katie is becoming a real-life Stepford wife.  Tom is too controlling, Katie is seemingly uninvolved with the whole thing.  I give it 4 yrs max.\n\nEver seen the movie "Casino" ?\nnote (in the storyline) the actor (played by Robert De Niro) had his soon to be bride GET PREGNANT before they got married, as like an insurance policy?  \n\nThere is something just not right about Tom and Katie.  She seems just too....quiet about the whole thing.  They do NOT look like a couple "In Love"

I think if they had a choice they would not have been married again also.\nthey were married to someone they loved so much,that they remained faithful to his memory through the years.\n\nwill you pick me for the best answer this time to show people how yahoo answer is going to ?\nanyway I forgive you for what you've said.

and now the entire internet knows. how far away from being 18 are they both? and how much do they like each other? because I think they should probably get married if they love each other that much, but if not, give the child up for adoption. Because if he leaves her, he will be regarded as an immature person who can't own up to his mistakes and runs away from them. So basically, marriage or adoption. Abortion is too horrible for both mother and child to think about.

I think he is a pyscho and I feel sorry for Katie since she is so blind to see what a weirdo he is.  Latest rumor is that he had a special adult pacifier made so that Katie can suck on it when she's in labor which will then keep her from being loud.  CRAZY SON OF A B!

To the original question:\n\nI'm not sure if anyone has explained -- when Mary was found to be pregnant she was "betrothed" to Joseph.   This was the 'first stage' in a marriage.  It legally bound the two together, and any violation was considered adultery.  Also, breaking this required a divorce\n\nBut the marriage was COMPLETED and consummated when the two 'came together'.  Mary and Joseph were betrothed, they had not yet come together.   \n\nMatthew tells us that, when Jospeh discovered it he was thinking of quietly, privately divorcing her (to avoid a scandal).   But at the instruction of the angel, who told him the child was 'of the Holy Spirit' he 'took her to him', i.e., took her into his household and they became 'fully' husband and wife.\n\nOthers have raised the question of whether Mary REMAINED a virgin after this.  Frankly, Matthew ONLY tells us that "he did not know her until" Jesus' birth.  The rest of the NT says nothing at all about the matter.  Protestants have usually deduced that they had normal relations after this, Catholics have appealed (as we have seen) to traditions beginning in the 2nd century (which Protestants do not accept as authoritative).   \n\nI will not get into that debate here, except to correct the point on John Calvin' view.  Calvin essentially insisted on leaving the question OPEN, neithre adopting a later tradition as authoritative, nor simply dismissing it.  He thought the reference in Matthew too unclear to settle the matter.  To BOTH sides he said:\n\n"What took place afterwards the historian does not tell us. . . . Certainly, no man will ever raise a question on this subject, except from curiosity; and no man will obstinately keep up the argument, except from extreme fondness for disputation."

BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT THEM TO BE PARENTS BEFORE THEIR TIME.  THEY KNOW THAT IN REAL LIFE IF SOMETHING LIKE THEIR DAUGHTERS BECOMING PREGNANT BEFORE MARRIAGE THERE IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT THEY WILL BE SINGLE PARENTS. AND NO ONE WANTS THAT FOR THEIR DAUGHTER. THEY MIGHT GIVE YOU OTHER REASONS BUT THAT IS DEFINITELY IN THE BACK OF THEIR MIND AT ALL TIMES.

Maybe it's because they've never been taught about the consequences.. i mean, so far all i've heard is how we shouldn't stop two people who loved each other from marrying, even if they're the same gender. Or, the relationship is ethically wrong. A majority of people aren't taught about the dangers of it. I don't support this kind of marriage also.. because i was brought up knowing that it ruins the marriage institution (between a man and a woman) and etc. Maybe what you said could come true, but it will take years before others  to open their eyes and see what has happened.

They didn't go through with the wedding. I think she ended up with that italian guy, her ex boyfriend. They didn't really say what happened in the wedding, we just know they didn't get married.

Ryan donated to a sperm bank a few years ago. Annie' husband was sterile. Josh's dad Dr. ??? ran a clinic from which Annie visited & got inseminated. Luck of the draw I guess!

I'm not real sure why. I am not religious, but I also would not have a child unless I was married. I think its a better upbringing for a child to have two wed parents. Just my opinion...
