    Default Angelina Jolie turned down Brad Pitt's marriage proposal

    Angelina Jolie has reportedly turned downed Brad Pitt's marriage proposal.

    The stunning 'Tomb Raider' actress, who is heavily pregnant with actor's baby is refusing to walk down the aisle.

    A source revealed to Britain's Grazia magazine: "Brad has literally got down on his knees to beg Angelina to change her mind but she laughs pulls him to his feet, kisses him and says, 'Let's not ruin something so perfect'."

    However, Brad's traditional parents are apparently unimpressed with their son fathering up a child out of wed-lock.

    The source added: "They'd rather their son bring a child into the world with the benefit of marriage."

    Angelina is reportedly anxious not to rush into another marriage following her divorces from actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.

    The couple are currently in Namibia with adopted children Maddox, four, and one-year-old Zahara awaiting the birth of their first child together.

    Good for her. I know a couple who were together for nearly three decades before they got hitched. It was well after their kids were grown and they are more committed than most people I've ever met. Marriage doesn't mean much when more than half of all couples get divorced.

    Angelina Jolie seems very flighty. She'll be chasing the next man before the baby's six months old.

    Not being married seems to have worked for Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. They have been together now for 23 years. I dont think they need to get married.

    That statistic, like so many, is apparently a mangled version of the
    real fact: at the time it was taken, @ 1970, more than half of new
    marriages ended in divorce. That means that half of the marriages
    that occurred in that year ended in divorce within a short time. (This
    was partly because of new divorce laws that made it easier to
    end a marriage.)

    However, long-standing marriages were not affected by the change
    in the laws; the previous generation didn't suddenly get up and say,
    "Hey, let's split up! Everyone else is!"

    So half of all couples do not get divorced. I'm sure snopes.com has
    something to say on this subject, but I can't be bothered to look it up.

    Killjoy I'm with you on that one. I think many of these things that society as embraced as 'alright' have actually hurt people pretty significantly without them realizing it.

    There's a reason Angelina is turning him down. She has no intention of staying with him. She simply wanted his seed and nothing more. This relationship won't work.

    Getting knocked up before marriage has been a trend for awhile. I agree with the poster(s) upthread who said they preferred the days when people took commitment seriously and wed before bringing kids into the world. It's too easy nowadays to just walk away. Brad and Angelina will be no different. There's nothing holding them together, not even the baby, so either of them is free to leave at any time.

    Sure Goldie and Kurt have been together for many, many years, but I still would never consider them married. They've simply had a long, successful 'relationship'.

    She won't marry him, but she'll let him adopt her children.

    That makes a lot of sense.

    I agree about the need for society to value morals and commitment, especially when it comes to relationships where children are involved. I also get tired of people bending the rules for celebrities. Personally, I think that adopting those children together was extremely selfish if they have no intention of marrying. You don't just adopt your girlfriend's kids (or allow your boyfriend to adopt yours) because you have the Brad Pitt mentality of "having kids would be, like, sooooo cool!!!" I'd like to see an adoption agency allow a non-celebrity, non-committed couple with pasts as bizarre and frankly perverse as Angelina's and strings of previous failed relationships to jointly adopt children. It would never happen.

    Lets not forget, Goldie has admitted they have a VERY open relationship.

    Killjoy, we are so very often on the same page. I totally agree with you on all points.

    To me having kids is far greater a commitment than marriage. A marriage can be ended in a matter of days, but kids are your kids forever. Getting pregnant should only ever occur to me if you are convinced you are going to stay with that man. It seems Angelina views it the other way round

    I understand what you're saying but I don't think you can equate marriage with morality. Morality is remaining faithful and true, something that many people do without the benefit of a piece of paper. As far as what ourman is saying, if I actually understand it, is that half of all new marriages end in divorce, which is basically what I'm saying. Half of all marriages performed this year will end in divorce, so any marriage has only a 50% chance of surviving. Whatever. I refuse to say that being married is somehow a barometer of morality, the long-term prospects of a relationship or a gauge of anything really. My husband and I were together for ten years before we got married and probably would have stayed unmarried but for a few legal issues. And like I said, I know a couple that were blissfully unmarried for nearly 30 years and only eloped for fun well after everyone had stopped giving a shit. I think it all comes down to the level of committment you have in the first place. You can be married all you want and still be a shitty husband/wife/father/mother who is unfaithful not just physically but mentally and emotionally. You either are there or not and no little ceremony is going to change that.
