Not knowing you or your situation, just my 2 cents, I think that would be a big mistake. Marriage is very difficult and children make daily life even more demanding (although wonderful too). I think, down the road, you would be so unhappy. I was so in love when I married my husband, and 13 years later, it is still nice, but, boy is it hard! You do get tired of each other, of the kids, of the household chores (and they keep coming and coming) ... it is just hard. Yes, we still love, laugh (thank goodness) ... but all I'm trying to say, if you are not "in love", I think you will resent your husband. And I don't think it is fair to him either. He deserves someone that is crazy about him (sexually too).
