The woman/man you love has two kids. Now, s/he may have gotten them from a past marriage, or s/he may have had the child out of wedlock. The marriage may have ended on a bad not, or in a death. The children may be hostile to you joining the family, as you can never replace their father/mother. They may have mental problems, emotional problems, etc. The only certainity I give you is that they are not currently married. Do you still marry them?
The only thing that would keep me from marrying someone with kids is if the kids speak against it vehmently. So, I chose yes.
It depends on the person of course, but I'd probably marry. After all, they're just kids, and they don't always think out their decisions. I really don't care about past marriages, because people do make mistakes, and a past marriage isn't always their fault, if it even is.
Also, I hate to say it, but the ammount of money we have is going to be a big factor. If I can't support two children, chances are I won't get into that situation.
That's a really confusing post so if I have to make it more clear I will XD

That's why at the beginning of the question I put "If you are in love with that person"
I think you mean vehemently. XD
I would, unless the kids were psycho and tried to kill me. They would just have to deal with it, especially since I don't have any characteristics that would cause them to hate me.
I've dated other single mothers before. There was one in particular that could've turned into something real. But it didn't. She had twins. If things have gone differently, I might've stayed with her for a very long time.
I voted yes, I've actually already put quite a bit of thought into this.
Taking my father's 1st hand advise on this one. So I voted no.
If the person isn't too much of a shallow idiot who lives to drain my income, I don't mind if she already has children. I don't want to be that jerk who wouldn't marry widows.
The chances of me falling for someone who would end up in such a situation are like one in a trillion, but yes.
[sub]No way, I don't want to take care of some other kids brats, unless they are half mine.[/sub]
Probably no because I won't be as close to the kids as my own would be. Besides, the kids usually hate their new father/mother, unless they really hated their old one.

O rly? Now how exactly does that work eh? "A past marriage isn't always their fault, if it even is". Do you put thought into what you post? You just pwnt your own argument.. How much idiocy must you show?
I voted yes because if I loved the person, I would want to be with them, regardless of anything.
It all depends on how the kids were. If they were just depressed, probably yes. If they were extremely hostile, no.
