To marry or to remain single - a choice.

You are right, but some married people and those in relationships have this funny habit of viewing singles like as if they are missing something big. ;) Why is that? I am single; there was a time I wanted to get married and all that. But I got nothing but hell out of it. LOL! So, I feel being single is a great option for me. I wanted kids, and I have a nice sweet little baby boy now, so it is a dream come true for me. :) I really don't need a man in my life, so I am happy with my choice. Cheers and happy Mylotting

Hi Pose123! I do agree that there is no right or wrong in whatever status we will choose. I have friends who are single yet most of them are happy being single and a few of them yearns to get married still someday. I have friends too who are married, including me who are happy with their married life but a few of them wished they didn't get married at all. I guess, the choice of any of these status should not be dictated by anyone else and not even because you want to conform to society. It is a choice you made because it will make you happy, grow and be a better individual. Both entails sacrifices and both has its advantages and disadvantages but for whatever journey one will choose in life, I hope that happiness and wholeness lies within oneself. Just a thought! take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith

That is really true it is the choice you make that matters the most. In a seminar that I attended it discusses about choice. In making a choice there are two things you are to consider in choosing. One is the benefit and the other is the price you have to pay for it. What makes it wrong or right is when the price you have to pay is not commensurate by the benefit from the choice you chose in your life. So I guess being single if the benefits far outweighs the price that you are paying then stay single. But for those that see being single is not beneficial in their lives then they would chose to get married or be in a partnership of some sort.

Well, it really depends on the person ,and whatever makes them happy. I personally enjoy sharing my life with my husband. To me is wonderful to be able to share and enjoy life with someone special.

I knew I was a married man as soon as I became a teenager. Every time I dated a different girl I was looking for Mrs Right. Yes, it was a lot of fun finding her, and when it happened I knew it instantly. We have now been married 53 years. I joke and say its been like 2 life terms with no parole, and no time off for good behavior. But I'm only kidding, I would not want to be single. Its way too much trouble finding a wife. We raised 4 good boys, and have 4 Grandchildren. Life is fun, isn't it?

I wish people realized this. I don't know how many times I have had to dodge the question, when will you get married? Or, you're not married yet? I'm not married, and at this very moment, I'm glad about that. All things in due time.

I totally agree with you. Although, I have no problem spending time alone, I want to share my life with a husband and children. But, I am determined to wait on God for the right person for me.

I find it amazing that humans want company but yet want don't want to consider someone else feelings choices. It seems they can't have both in a romantic relationship.

I think that we have to marry with that girl to whom we loves.So that you may maintain good life.

In my opinion, it's nice to have someone in your life.. i'm living with my partner for years and i'm grateful for having my hubby in my life.. Without my baby, i don't think i can survive.. i've been sick and hubby's been there to take good care of me.. i wouldn't trade my hubby with anyone else!

Hi, i would like to get married and have a lifelong companion. I think having a marriage gives one a bit of a stability in life and fulfilment. So one doesn't feel like there's something lacking in life or feel too lonely. I've always had a companion since i was born, who's my sister, and i've learned a lot about sharing and something about compromise so i think i can get use to the marriage life. Most importantly it is an emotional support for oneself.

There are only few whom I believe choose to remain single. Others assumed it's their fate. There are others who remain single out of frustration in breaking up with their previous relationships. Those who can't move on thinking there would be no other love, rather choose to be single. Maybe there were those who thought they're not capable of having commitments or responsibilities. There are people however, who just enjoy life, live and love for today and face commitments and responsibilities later. Those who remain single because of their vocations. like the priests and the nuns, their single but they're happy of their chosen field. In my case however, I preferred to be single after losing my husband 17 years ago. I have already my children for me to continuously enjoy life so why marry again. Oh yes, for companionship or financial security at your later years. WE can't discount the fact either that getting married and having a family is one's goal and this completed one's life and make up the whole big world.

I will definitely married just because I am force into it or for some other reason other than love. If I found someone regardless how old I am at the time, sure I would get married but if not, then I'd die single :)

Since I am already married to marry is my choice. Though, even if I come accross with this question before I got married or when I was still single I would still choose to marry. My reason is when you get married or when you have someone at your side in your quest to life or your journey, life would be much easier since there will be two heads that would weigh things out just to come up with a good and wise decision. Your kids would be your inspiration that will lead you to become more determined to become successful in every endeavor. In short when you marry, you will have a clear direction on where to go and what to do in your life.

of course marrying or having a partner is an ideal life. but having or being snigle for whatever reason should not be a life of sadness. but i think that it will depend on the person. on his or her personality. if the person can get by and manage to be happy being single. sometimes the circumstances dictates our choice in life. i believe that some people will better off being single. as long as the person who will have special someone to serve as companion like family member or some friend that will stick with the person so that he will not find singlehood a burden for life. but something to enjoyed also. i am single and many times i would like to see myself single for the rest of my life. as long as i have someone that will accompany like family member. as long as i have some group of people to accept me then i will be just fine.

i am a person who loves to be with people who love me a lot and are always there for me to support me through thick and thin.so i want to get married and have a family of mine and do every small little things for them.i love to play with children and if i have mine i will do anything for them.and cook and make my husband happy all the time.this is what i think rest everybody has there own preferences.

I am enjoying being a single..but I don't want to remain single all my life, so If I would meet the right one, I would rather choos to marry, because I want to have my own family someday and to have someone to grow old with and have some kids. being a single for me is only temporary and to be married is really not a choice but a decision. (^_^)

Having a marriage life is important, especially if you want to have your future generation. At your old age, you need some people around you who can perhaps look after you. If we decide to stay single, OK, if we stay young all the time. At this maybe we can say: 'No, marriage is not important. It's gonna make us burdened with it. But when you get much older--you may say the opposite.

Someone says it‘s alright to remain single ,and someone thing it's alright to marry . Mabye ,there are advantages for each . If lets me choose , I will choose marry . People marry for many reasons , but usually one or more of the following: legal . The life atmosphere will also become more romantic . I like family's feeling very much .
