Title says it all. We've been together for a couple of years and our relationships is pretty good. Should I marry her, I Can't come up with any reason why not.

Do you Love her?
Can you support her and your baby?
Do you want to be a Father?
Answer these questions, and you have your marriage answer..
Actually answer #1 for your marriage answer.
About #2, it's your job, to do everything in your power to support your baby. That leads us to #3. There is a big difference between fathering a baby, and being a father.... A father needs to be there with love and support every step of the way, from the first step to the Graduation party and after that too...
If you don't choose to Mary your GF, remember she will always be you child's Mom, never disrespect her, talk bad about her to your child, or argue about parenting in front of the child....

If you want to marry her, that desire should be independent of her pregnancy status.

Just food for thought regarding the 'love' aspect:

Longterm studies in India (which has western style/love and traditional/arranged marriages) have shown that arranged marriages are getting less divorced plus have higher 'love' scores the longer they last.

Meaning for Lil Jay: Plan the economic foundation for your new family wisely and spend much time to discuss the serious commitment you will have to show to each other for the next 20 years. The love you have now for each other will change and may not be there at times, but can always come back.

It's pretty simple, if you are in love with her, marry her. If you're not, then don't. But regardless if you marry her or not, be there for your child emotionally and financially.
