I was in Catholic school fourth grade in 1963, and most kids didn't know much about sex then. The nuns told us that you can not have a baby unless you were married. I asked my mom why that was, and she replied "That's the way God wants it!" So for some time, I believed that a person had to be married in order to get pregnant, even though I wasn't quite sure how babies were made.
