I'm very traditional when it comes to family. I don't care what others do, I'm not an obnoxious in-your-face my-way-is-right kind of person. But a lot of times, I feel like I have to defend myself for being traditional.

Example: I wouldn't have kids without a husband. To me, it's just not the way things work. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in the baby carriage. I don't care if others choose differently, that's that person's life and prerogative, I'm not going to waste my time getting upset at how someone else chooses to live (unless they're dependent on taxpayer dollars to raise their family and make no effort to better themselves, that does irritate me!)

But I feel as though I can't express my opinion/life choice honestly, when asked. It's not politically correct to say (if asked) "I believe that a husband and wife make a marriage and I believe bringing children into a marriage is the right way to do things."

Again, I don't care if others do it differently and I'd never look down on someone for having different beliefs, but I just feel like it's expected to be politically correct instead of honest.
