Would you elaborate on your response? I don't understand it. Are you saying that one cannot have their own life if they are married?

I agree.... to be single is too good... but marriage is good just if you marry with true one in your life otherwise to be single is much better.

I would prefer to be married. Its better to share life rather than being single. Because everyone want a person in their life who willunderstand us. I always pray for a perfect better half with whom i can share the rest of my life. I want to share all my joys and sorrows with him. I dont even want to think about divorce because trust will be the main thing in our relationship... Happy Posting

I want to enjoy the best of both worlds. I want to have the freedom of being single yet I want to have the warmth and love of a married life. Hahaha ... I am greedy! Married life will be great if both husband and wife truly love each other. Then at time they can opt for 'me' time and perhaps go out with their friends for other activities away from the normal routine. That will be perfect!

I absolutely love being married and could not picture my life without my husband! I have never liked being single my whole life. I have always liked having someone by my side that I cared about. Having my husband in my life has been a blessing. =)

Right in this very moment. I want to be married lol. Just because I want to feel someone cares differently than your family and relatives or friends. It is diffirent feeling to have someone who cares for you and someone you can be with. Well, .... xx

Myself, I am married and am very happy. It is all a matter of personal choice. Some people would rather live alone while others prefer to have a partner. One can still have "life of your choice" whether they are single or in a relationship.

I guess it depends on your personal experiences and who you are married to. It sounds as though you are very unhappy in your current situation. Life is for everyone and everyone, both men and women, are equal (but that's a whole other discussion isn't it?). Life does not just belong to the human male...

they can have their own life after marriage but it is common for men, men here think that ladies is what they say and order... and life is just belong to men. of course if a lady have such of understandin man, to know that lady also is human and have right of life, then nobody will wish to be single.

I will never marry but I'm not single either! I'm with my guy. We are happy. The love we share is mutual and I thank g-d for him every day. It feels so good to be love for you! Why would I ruin this by getting married?

I have been married for nearly 58 of my 78 years. We have had our differences, but we've come through intact. We have learned to work together for the benefit of the family. Usually we compliment each other, and I'm not speaking about saying nice things. I mean in life skills.

I'd love to be married, but prefer to remain single until my better half arrives. Sorry to say my last marriage ended in divorce, so there wasn't any success with that life except for the experience gained and lessons that were learned from them. At least I can use them to make the second time a better one.

I prefer to married because married is something about future life .. I'm never married before but i will do that when i'm ready, lol .. Marriage is something happen when you are ready to build family with someone you love ,, it needs trust, love, care and of course faith .. Be single is okay too but I don't think be single is good for our future .. we gonna be old and we can't help our self alone .. you need more than yourself to survive in this world and marriage is one from a lot of the solution ..

Yeppp ,, when you wanna to marriage, you should already mature, in body and soul ,, you should accept whatever he/she you gonna marriage, you already accept his/her family .. Well, being marriage in mature age is better than young adult, right? :D

I don't think of love life/marriage very often. I don't look for it, and I don't wait for it, and I don't care if it comes or not. I'm still young, and I've never fallen in love, so I don't know for sure. When I was still a child I was pretty sure that I'm never going to be married. Now I have the "wait and see" attitude. If marriage comes, then fine. If it doesn't, fine (better...?). I haven't fallen in love yet, so I still can't come to a conclusion. But I do prefer to be single.

well, I hope you to find your perfect one, but in my idea, single one lives happier than married one.... just we should be so careful in our marriage to make a perfect and happy life, otherwise better to be single but not having a failed marriage life.

Married, definitely. I am married now and I have never been happiest. Of course there are occasional fights and bad times but I wouldn't trade that for anything. I still prefer to have someone to share all the ups and downs witht than be single. As long as trust, communication, respect and love are there, married couples will find a way to settle and sort every issues they are confronted with.

each of us, have some ideol life. my ideal man was a man who is kind, respectful. caring, responsibile, and not having habit on drink or smoke. He played with me more than a year, and show himself really good one. according to what I saw , and that love which he show me, i choose him between many other ones... but after marriage, suddenly he show me his real face, first time in my life I saw bottle of alhocol and I saw he beat me up and said I am this now say.... I hate him too much as he did not have right to lie about what I did not like... i told him before that i hate those who drink like that and he said i lied to you becuase i know if you could know thta you would never marry me.... now he forced me with a baby and force me to be with him and live in those hell and hate. for htat I can not love him and hate increasing in myheart day by day that i see even he is in affair with many .....ladies. and he is not what he show me those time.. he changed my destiny on a lie and forced me to live in what i do not like.

I like being married better. I like having a close relationship, and with one person for the rest of my life. this makes me feel secure which is important to me. It's nice to know that we have someone to confided in when necessary. Again, it depends how old you are. If you are very young, you can wait until you are older. If you are young and decided not to marry, you m ay regret it later in life when it is harder to find a permanent partner.

my husband was too close to me and caring before marriage but after he took me as a wife, he suddenly show me his reality and for that i still feel that the earth and the sky fell on my head and feel so heavy and bad in my heart. i feel that i live in darkness with an evil and for that i really wish that only God make me single by giving punishment to him on all wrong things that he does daily in his life. I really wish the earth get clean from him..

I prefer married life because I don't want to be alone in my later years. Though married is not all bed of roses but still you are assured of someone growing old together. You have someone to share with your success.

Being single is a blessing but it would also be nice to have a responsibility in the future. Living together with the man who will spend the rest of your life is wonderful. I think that's personal decision if they will stay single or married. In my case in an appointed time I want to get married..lol Thanks for sharing

Marriage is having two persons made into one. It is quite a complicated relationship because you have to work it out together. It feels good knowing that you have someone whom you can share your joys and pains and someone who would be spending the rest of your lifetime with. Someone whom you can grow old together. It is complicated because just like I have said you have to work it out to make it last. Imagine you are two different people who come from different directions and you decided to stay together, that means that you need to embrace each others' strengths and weaknesses. being single on the other hand is somewhat more liberating because you are only in relationship with yourself. And it depends on your preference whether you want to stay that way or not. being single and being married offer us two different roads to trod...and both I guess bring you both joys and pains.

sigh comes from my heart when I see those who are still single and they have life of their own and they are happy. I really wish I could be single.
