Get married and stop playing house. Sorry if that’s harsh but it seems you want your cake…Divorce is awful but why focus on it as a probable outcome? God bless.

Reported. This is a very inappropriate comment too make. A couple should not get married for the sake of “getting married”. Marriage is a sacrament and not to be taken lightly. If they do not want to be married then they should not be married. I am disappointed in these types of answers. Please show some compassion.

I agree there should be no physical relations however until they receive the sacrament of marriage.

This couple have been together for 13 years and have children. The OP stated they are fully committed to the church. They aren’t since they haven’t received the sacrament of marriage. They want to give their children who, by the way should be witness to the commitment a marriage requires, a sacramental life. One great way to do that is to get married in the church. So, I stand by my appropriate answer. God bless.
 
Father:
You’re creating a strawman argument and misinterpreting my statements. My point is the children, who were born out of wedlock, deserve a set of parents living together. That’s what God wants. The OP states they’re putting their kids through the sacraments. They’ve not gotten married due to “past issues”. I’m just saying that, instead of straddling the fence, they should get married. I think that’s best for all in the long run. Why is it assumed the marriage is going to fail?

Get married, it already looks like you intend permanence. And it will be great for the kids- I attended such a wedding for a couple in the same situation, and the children as well as the couple loved it. You can make it as big or small as you want? Forgive the past and unless there is physical abuse, go for it!

It sounds like you now have a new foundation on which to move forward and build a solid marriage. With God as the center of your lives, past issues can be sorted and healed. This will take time and much prayer on the part of your partner and you. Your partner especially needs to ask God for a change of heart. God can do this.
In the meantime, though, you should follow your priest’s advice.
