Why getting married is so necessary Especially In Indian society,why Not people Let U Live peacefully as S Single/bachelor,why Your relatives and freidns push you allways to get married, when they themselves are not happy by their own marriages. I am 34 years old and I am a bachelor still a bachelor.when ever I go to a family gathering or and friedns get together, they all push me to get married, I feel so Embarrsed sometimes. Do u feel the same thing , discuss. is it really necessory to get married.

Most people believe that marriage was invented by God, but this is not the case. Marriage is man-made, and is definitely flawed. Would you buy a car without a test drive? Of course it would not be good business, (and you would be trading the car in for a new model 6 or 8 years down the road.) A bride on the other hand should be on trial for at least 5 years because she is an unknown quality, and you expect to be living with her for the rest of your life. For God's sake do not rush into a Marriage, because over 50% of all marriages fail, and its much more costly to get out of the arrangement than it was to get into it.

It even says in the bible that God would rather us be single because he wants our focus on him. The only reason for marriage coming into existence was so that if someone decided they wanted to have a lover their union would not be sinful. That's gotta be one of my favorite readings in the bible.

Married is the thing to do because he said people with married life more meaningful and more perfect.

im sorry for it :( no i dont think is really necessary to get married. we must marry when we have a bf and gf for awhile and really love the person. not bcs parents or family wants. mostly in indian ones where some marry without know each other well and marry without love. we must marry when we are in love. dont feel embarassed even you are 34 and are still single you are still young for sure you will find a sweet woman that will love you^^ just marry for love^^

In my opinion is not necessary to get married, the papers are not important for me, the love and the undertanding is important for me. But for some persons, mostley for women, this step is the most important step in a serious relationship, especially the vows between them.

Hi Jagjit. Its true here in the US too. A lot of people assume a number of ridiculous things if you're single for a long time. In this day and age in my country I don't feel its as necessary as it used to be. Back then you had to marry for survival which led to a lot of marriages for the wrong reasons and thus the gold digger was born. Now its more a case of taking that step because you want to. Doing it because you need to just seems like a very scary reason.

For many, the one way they think they can be happy is if they're living with someone (possibly married to them), and then they seem to assume that that's the right way for everyone. Many of my friends spend their time eagerly searching for partners and they all seem to think that I should do the same. I assume that you might have more pressure about getting children, maybe to support and help the family? That's not such a big deal here, but many parents start going on about how they would really like to be grand parents soon. Not mine. Yet ...

Yes, I also notice that. It's like having a wife or husband is the only way to go in life. I think it is about time people educate themselves and stop bothering single people about getting married. People should mind their own business. Marriage may not be for everybody. Okay, they may be married, fine, but that does not mean that you will also follow route. Just tell them point blank that you don't want to get married so they will stop embarrassing you. Just tell them the truth so they will shut up.

The normal life is getting married for everyone, so your family and friends all push you to do that.expecially you are 34 years old that they think your normal life is getting married and have baby in your family.If everyone's life is single,then nobody will push you to get married soon. That is what I think so.

when god created the earth and universe and he created a man.... he himself had a thought that the man should not be alone so god created a lady and make them as one... it is a natural thing it has to be done... being a bachelor is not a great thing

In my opinion marriage is only a part of our life that is only not life. But having our own loved ones is completely different from friends and relatives . The completeness of the life comes from marriage itself.

well...getting married or not its entrely up to ones desision. If you think you are not ready for taking resposiblities or you think you dont need a family to carry forward your legacy, then dont get married. However if you think its couragious and fun to have responsiblities, take care of your little ones, then you should be thinking of marrage. Marrage is not allways having humanly pleasure but its about sacrifice and love for each other.

Actually it is not a necessary it is your decession what do you want to do in your life. If you asked me, I won't allow people to push me what they want me to do. It's my life I know how to decided. Life is too short make it worth living for.!

Marriage is a social recognition for the relationship between a man and a woman. This relationship is necessary for the existence of human generation. In India a family is needed for everyone as men cannot live alone for the whole life. There must be someone to lookafter during his hard days. You may get homenurses. But a wife or children will look after with love. There may exceptions. But exceptions alone doesnt make life. There is nothing bad in getting married. But if you chose to live as a bachelor you must be well planned for the future life.

yeah, i think it is necessary especially in your age because you need someone to be with when you get old. you need someone to be there for you when you have a bad day, when it is a cold at night and you need a human comforter, and it is good to have someone to take care of you when you are sick. it is nice to have someone beside you even if you smell like hell but he/she still loves you. it is so sweet when you have someone to hug and kiss you even though you are mad. and the best thing of all is to have someone to love and love you in return for the rest of your life:)

For me, it's your choice if you want to get married. Maybe what your parents want is for you to have someone to take care of you when you're older especially when your parents are gone. Some cultures, have a lot of pressure from the families when it comes to marriage but then it's always best to follow what your heart says, what your heart wants and what you really want. It's never good to jump to marriage if you're not ready 'cause in the long run, a lot will suffer.

They urge you to get married to tame you and send you to the bondage called marriage. You are free as long as you are unmarried. When you get married you are tied inseparably to your wife and then children later on. There starts your agonies of living a hard life. Marriage offers some pleasures as well. You have a sweet companion who takes care of your needs in ordinary life and suffocates you with love. Chilren also provides good company although bringing them up is a tedious job. There is the pleasure of living for others and its burden too. If you remain a bachelor for too long , it may be difficult to find a partner, in case you change your mind later on. Your friends may get married and move away from your company leaving you alone. When you are old no one will take care of you, they wont even mind you at all.Who needs old people ?

I don't think it's necessary for me. I'll ignore all the external force about it and keep single unless I have met who satisfies me and also be satisfied with me. If I can't, I won't get married.
