Just thought I'd add my two-pennyworth...

I believe that mariage should come before children. Not for any religious reason; partly because of the law of the land in the UK (both partners are better protected legally when married) but also I just have a gut feeling that's right - for me, anyway.

Co-habiting - I'd agree with it on the whole, but if one wants to get married then there's no point in letting co-habitation drift on...and on... (I've learnt that lesson the hard way and men do seem to the be the guilty party in those situations, on the whole!). I believe it's right to 'test the waters' before you enter into a serious contract with another person, and I also believe it's ok to have sex before marriage - you never know, your dearly beloved might turn out to have some bizarre sexual fetish you can't handle!
