Wedding Bells!

This week’s episode brought a lot of change for many of the couples.  For one couple in particular, Leah and Corey, that change meant deciding to tie the not and get married. Although many family members and friends think that they are moving way to fast, Corey and Leah think that they are moving at the right pace.

I think that Leah and Corey are definitely the most mature couple and they prove that through their amazing parenting but I am not in agreement with their decision. Although it is clear to see that they are in love, and that they would do anything for each other, I am just not sure if they are ready to take that step in their relationship. They need to realize that marriage is going to last them forever, or at least it is supposed to.  Yes they already have children and they have their own house but I think that they should just enjoy being a couple and not get married.  They have always moved fast Leah stated that “We have always done things fast in our relationship” and that is true. Within a month of dating, Leah and Corey 1) had sex and 2) got pregnant with twins.  Within a year than they got pregnant, had twins, got engaged and they are planning to getting married. Above all of this, they are having so many troubles with their one baby, Ali. I just do not think that they need to get married right now; it is just not good timing. According to Suite101.com “Although marriage may offer more financial stability to teen moms, getting married as a teen does has its share of negative risks. Divorce rates are higher for women who marry before the age of 20.” The chances of Leah and Corey getting into fights because of stress are even higher because of their baby, Ali, troubles.

Just in case anyone didn’t catch the show the other day, here is the update on Ali. Leah took her to the eye doctor because she is crossed eye and cannot control her eyes.  Leah asked the doctor if it could be because of nerve damage on her spin, and the eye doctor said that most likely it has to do with her brain. I feel terrible for this little girl. It seems that she can just not function, but I am hoping that she is just a late developer and that there is no long term effect.  So on top of this Leah and Corey still want to get married? It just seems like there would be a lot of stressed put on both of them if they did.  

Getting married is just not necessary right now because they have to much more to worry about. It is not like I don’t think they will get married eventually but a lot of changes happen when you are young and who knows Corey and Leah might change because of their age. I just think that they need to take time with this decision, for once in their lives.
