Depending where your life is at right now -- Do you plan to stay single or plan to get married? Are you happy where you are at right now?For me I'm planning to go back to live and marry the woman I love back in Bicol.

i wasn't planning on getting married, i wanted a career, that's why my relationship w/ my then bf was 8 years, until we decided to get married. marriage is merging of 2 different individuals, at first it is blissful, then the differences would surface later on. here in the philippines we have pre-nuptial seminars to attend before marrying for the couple to be prepared for the "roller-coaster ride" called marriage. if you plan to be married here, and you don't have references, i would give you some if you need.

by the way, to answer your question, yes i'm happy right now. definition of happiness is different from every individual but when you're talking about marriage, yes, despite of the misunderstandings. it gets boring when you don't argue :)

I am a single parent with 3 kids, I am the one who decided to be separated with my husband. I am happy with my life now with my 3 kids, with my work, with my friends. In my present situation, I am contented, but as a human being, I do sometimes think about having a partner, not for the sake of my children but for my own. I also want to be taken care of and have somebody I can hold hands with, walk with and just to be with. I am not looking for one though, I believe that everything work's in GOD's time, if it is His will for me to have somebody until my old age, I will really be happy and thankful, if GOD's plan is for me to stay old with my children, I will still be thankful because not all are blessed to have children. You are still young, there's so much that you can give. Go for what you want in life, as long as you nobody will get hurt in the process. GOD BLESS!

I'm planning to get married. My girlfriend and I are talking about it but we're saving up first. It's hard to get married specially with the situation in the Philippines. It's hard to start a family without saving.
