FACEBOOKWell, I do agree that if people don't want to get married they should not. Having said that, I also feel sorry for the children when grown adults set this sort of.....how did some of you put it..."new age" example that it's ok to just have a "committed" relationship and keep cranking out kids when you are not "committed" enough to marry. For goodness sakes, having children is hard enough. Being a celebrity child I'm sure is even harder and then add the fact that their parents don't need...."a piece of paper" to do this is mind boggling. On a spiritual level which Mark claims to have, he should understand that he should do this not for..."a piece of paper" but because our GOD commands us to join in his presence so that he may bless the union and join together the two in HIS eyes. Mark claims to have a religious background so this makes it almost offensive that he choses instead to live the way he is living.

Mark Wahlberg and longtime love Rhea Durham are thrilled they're expecting a boy.
Their 4-year-old daughter Ella?
Not so much.
"My daughter was extremely disappointed when she found out that we were having a boy — she wanted a little sister," he told Usmagazine.com at the NYC premiere of The Happening Tuesday.
"She already had all these plans of dressing a little sister up in clothes," he said. "But I told her, 'Honey, that means you’ll be more spoiled than the boys.' She goes, 'Oh, daddy, I didn’t think of that!'"
He said he is already prepping for the new one (they also have a son, Michael, 2).
"I’m moving the office out of the house [to] prepare his room," Wahlberg told Us.
(See photos of shirtless dads.)
He added that he is now trying to do more family friendly films, including his latest, M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening (out Friday).
"This is a movie that my nieces and nephews can watch," he said. "I’ve done things that I’m not proud of, and that I’m going to have to explain," he added.
Such as?
"Running around in my underwear," he said.
Co-star Zooey Deschanel said Wahlberg will make a "great" father-of-three.
"He’s wonderful with children, and he loves his children so much," she told Us. "He talks about them all the time."

Good for them, a lot and by that i mean a LOT of people are choosing not to marry but rather be in commited relationships, its great!, plus the minute you get married expecially in hollywood 6 months later there is a nasty divorce.

i think he's a great actor and the guy can do whatever the heck he wants with his life, as can any of us. but don't be a hypocrite mark, just live your life how you want and keep the fake Jesus preaching to yourself. it's kind of lame! i mean i don't have anything against Christians or religions in general but the hypocrisy is what is so lame to me. i mean what is that? and yes, oil prices are too high (this is relevant to mark how?), so go get a wood stove, or some wind power. ugh. anyway i'm done. you people can keep posting yourselves into oblivion.
----------------------------
Uh, where exactly does he preach about Jesus? You are making things up.
And this "anyway i'm done. you people can keep posting yourselves into oblivion." probably means "I'll be back to check who responded in a few minutes" lol
People please, please, please listen to the stories without being so judgmental. She is not a loser, she may be the one opposed to marriage. Focus more on what is going on in your lives and if you really feel a need to fix the world, read CNN and offer constructive ideals on the true ills that is crushing society as we no it!

I love love love this man! I only wish that is was me having his baby!!!!!!
Why are we so stupid in the US? Oil is going to hit $200 a barrel. Gasoline will hit $8 a gallon. Our economy is going down. Jobs will be lost. Inflation will set in. Everything will cost more. WHY ??? Because all our money goes to the Arabs and Chinese and WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DRILL OIL IN ALASKA. Save a few Caribou and Kill America. IDIOTS.
Being married to the person you have children with does not mean you will have a happy household. Tired of people getting married just because of pregnancy and then are miserable together, never happy. That makes a worse environment for the children. Do what works best for you, stop trying to preach to others.
And here are some of the people with their holier than thou attitudes. If you want to be married, good for you. Otherwise STFU and don't worry about what others do.
11:01 - having a child isn't a lifetime commitment? There is no such thing as divorcing your child if you don't like it. It seems that if you can commit to having 3 kids with someone, you shouldn't have a problem committing to their mother and marrying her.
maybe he means he wont be doing anymore BOOGIE NIGHTS type of movies....this movie looks scary but not dirty
i really like mark wahlberg too. he came from a poor family, and has had great success. good for him. the only thing that bugs me is i've seen him in interviews, and he claims to be Catholic/Christian. but then he openly chooses not to get married... well, then that makes him a total hypocrite. he was just on david letterman last night and he said something like 'well, i got Jesus.' it's like ok mark, whatever. if you choose to live with your girlfriend and make a family with her, but not get married, that is totally your decision. but then don't also try and pretend to be Christian too. it's just fake. just be who you are dude.
First of all I love Mark Wahlberg, but this interview confuses me. I saw a commercial for the movie & it said that this is M. Night Shyamalan's first rated R movie. In the above interview, it said that he is trying to do more family friendly films like his latest movie. I am not a prude, but is a rated R movie now considered family friendly?? I googled the plot & I don't think a movie about "an unknown pandemic is spreading, where the victim will experience loss of speech, physical disorientation and attempt suicide by very violent means," should be considered family friendly!!! A good movie, but probably not one for the little ones!
Aw, it's so cute & funny that Mark Wahlberg's daughter, Ella, is disappointed that she's getting a brother, etc.
i absolutely love mark wahlberg. he has been one of my favorite actors for as long as i can remember and it's amazing how he has transformed from a bad boy into an oscar nominated actor but still embraces his past and tries to help kids that are like he used to be. i wish him and his girlfriend another healthy baby and hope that they continue their beautiful family.
btw, there are only a few pictures but ella and also matt damon's baby girl rival all the hollywood babies that are pictured a lot. SO CUTE!!!!
I don't think it was necessary to call the little 5 year old bratty. She was hoping for a little sister, nothing wrong with that.
why does us mag. put the stupidest things in issues? this is not inportant and if its more about marrirage than his bratty little like 5 year old daughter wanting a girl instead of a boy: i mean mark do you want your pesonal life in the public eyes? i wouldnt in a million years!!!!so us mag. put in more good and INPORTANT storys with celebs who actally a good actor or someone havs a private life to!
Marriage is a legal term! You can be committed with out a piece of paper. Stop judging them!
Look at Goldie Hawn and Kurt. I remember her telling the story that they once decided to make it official and the kids were like NO. Leave it alone, everything is perfect the way it is. People don't take marriage seriously nowadays anyway, so don't do it just to please others. If it's what you want, that's cool. But if you are happy just being together without the meaningless certificate, more power. It's your life, not others. That's a big problem in this world, everybody worried about what's going on in other people's homes.
maybe marriage is not his thing, it's more important that they love each other, the word marriage is kinda a dirty word
i think it's wonderful how they love each other, and dont have to go and ruin it by getting married, so new age, i love it, and isn't The Happening a rated R movie? i wonder how thats a family movie
HE USED TO BE SUCH A "BAD BOY" ALWAYS IN TROUBLE ETC. I'M SO GLAD TO SEE HE GREW UP AND NOW HE IS A TALENTED ACTOR AND WONDERFUL DAD.
HELL I'LL GIVE HIM A GIRL!!!!!! HE'S SO HOT I'D KEEP HAVING HIS BABIES TOO!
Mark is so sexy and seems really down to earth. and the marriage thing is no big deal...i think it's better that he waits until he's ready than rush into a commitment as big as marriage. he said in the people article that he did his own thing for a while and now is ready to move forward. there is nothing wrong with that. a lot of guys feel obligated to marry their partner and then wind up running around on them because they weren't ready. They have children together and now that they see their relationship works, they can move forward. I wish him and his family tons of happiness!
Wow... whatever, my sister and her husband had their first baby and still wanted to wait to get married...
maybe the feeling is mutual between them. its probably not just him
Everybody doesn't want to be married with the white picket fence. It's not for everyone. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I knew a couple that were together for like 15 years. Decided, heck we might as well make it official. Got married and was divorced a year later. That piece of paper don't mean jack s*it. If you are happy living together, leave it at that. Because when that divorce happens, it just makes things messy. If marriage is for you, more power to YOU. But stop telling people what they need to do, worry about your life.
10:21 is right. Marriage is not for every couple. Their commitment to each other and their children is what matters most. And the examples given by 10:21 show this is true for these couples. For some couples a commitment is real only if it is real in the heart....a piece of paper holds no value.
i didnt know she was pregnant...i wanna see his new movie...i love him!
Leave them alone, some people find they work better not getting married. Jonnny Depp isn't married, but I don't hear people complaining and the same goes for Brad and Angelina and Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. If they don't feel like getting married, that is their business. They are committed to each other and to their children and that is all that matters.
I don't think they should get married at this point. He obviously doesn't want to marry her. As soon as they get married they will be divorced within two years. She needs to move on.
