Eva Herzigova will only marry for her children

Taking a page out of Johnny Depp‘s book, model Eva Herzigova, 8 months pregnant, says she doesn’t feel the need to marry boyfriend Gregorio Marsiaj to prove her love, but she will do it to make her kids happy.

I told Greg I’d marry him for the children one day. But for me, our loveis written in my heart. I don’t have to have it on a piece of paper.

Eva has said she plans on having three kids and is ready to have her second once she gives birth.

If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. That’s how I see it, and her life seems good without being married. She has a man who loves her and they are going to be parents. That seems to be enough for the both of them, and makes them happy, and that’s all that should matter.

My view on marriage isn’t very strong. I wouldn’t say no but I’m in no rush to go strolling down the aisle. That doesn’t mean I don’t want children, because I’d love to have one, maybe two. My views change constantly. There was a time where I didn’t want the marriage or the kids. But now I’m good with either, but I want the baby more than anything. I’d love to have a girl but I’d be happy with a healthy baby.

As for the whole marrying thing, as long as I had the assurance that my child would be cared for, I really wouldn’t need to get married. I sort of hate how getting married has become such a trend, almost as trendy as getting divorced, then doing the whole thing over and over again, having babies. I know not for everyone but there are quite a few who take advantage of things that are meant to be fairly monumental moments in someone’s life. Having any of these things done for trend purposes only desecrates the meaning of each moment.

But I’d rather get married as long as my heart was in it, it was what I wanted, etc…. Oprah and Stedman, Goldie and Kurt, they’re all happily unmarried… even my aunts (one has a adult son and not married and quite happy, the other has been happy and in love in a long-term relationship for 20-some years , and still going strong..)

It all depends on the person, I’d say.

I don’t understand why couples think that getting married will potentially ruin their relationship. Why? Is there a marriage boogie monster out there waiting to pounce on the next unsuspecting couple? My husband and I were together for 3 1/2 years and our daughter was 18 months before we were married and absolutely nothing has changed. We had joint bank accounts, joint credit cards, had a child, and bought and sold a house together before we were married. Yet family and friends kept saying we had to get married because things would change for the better for us, things would just be and feel “different”. After we were married my mother asked me “So does it feel different to be a married woman now finally?” My answer was just “Um, no actually.” Our lives didn’t change suddenly overnight, we didn’t start bickering more, our sex life didn’t go down the tubes, I wasn’t any happier or any sadder, I didn’t have some life altering revelation after the ceremony. Things were the same as they always had been, and they still are. I just wear a ring now. I think half the time it’s just a basic fear of commitment. That feeling of “once it’s done there’s no going back, we’ll be stuck together FOREVER!”. What does that say?

Some couples obviously don’t believe in marriage for whatever reason (religious, moral, the way the were raised). For us it wasn’t a religious issue even though I am Catholic. I didn’t feel the need to get married because I thought it was what God wanted or what our families wanted. At the end of the day I just felt like something was…off. My husband and our daughter shared the same last name and I kind of longed to see a wedding band on both of our ring fingers. I guess I wanted to claim him as mine for the world to see and vice versa. In the end I just wanted to make our bond legal. We knew we were going to be in this for the long haul, so to speak, so why not? It also still kind of tickles me when he introduces me as his wife.

I agree, Jessica. I find it funny that people (in general, not specifically to Eva) who doesn’t want to get married because they think it will change their relationship say “it’s just a piece of paper, anyway”

If you’re so scared that it’s going to change your relationship, then it’s obviously not just a piece of paper
