If you are responsible enough to take care of a baby, marriage should be easy. Once you are a parent your first priority must be your child. A child does not choose to be brought into the world, so it is the parents' absolute responsibility to give the child the best life possible.
The best situation includes a mother and a father who are married and live together.
Now if there is drug abuse or violence in the relationship, then marriage is not the best thing, but if not, then get married. Maybe you don't think he's your "ideal mate" but if he was good enough to have his child, then he's good enough to marry. And now that you have a child, your personal feelings become a second priority.
