Partner Insists I Get Pregnant Before Marriage – Need Advice

Partner Insists I Get Pregnant Before Marriage – Need Advice

I’m Sonia from Rivers State, and I work as a professional hairstylist. I’ve been in a relationship for eight years with a man who is a single father to an 18-year-old daughter living in Germany. He’s provided well for me and treated me kindly. But for the last three years he’s insisted I must get pregnant before we can marry. This goes against our traditions and my Christian beliefs. I’m confused and worried about the future. What should I do? I’ll appreciate your honest advice.
