Well... I am married with 2 kids. Touch wood, we are a happy family. I see so many single eligible people around. They are happy being single and independent. Many of my close friends who coudn't settle at the right age are no more interested. Has earning capacity made them like this? or fear of losing one's independence is making them not to enter into any relationaship? Friends do express your thoughts......

it depends to you of what you think that can make you happy, but once you get older im sure you will be needing someone else with you to share with everything as you cant live alone for the rest of your life, you might be happy nor contented being single but just for now while you still young. life is still nice to ge told with someone else to see yourself with him nor her and to see your kids growing, it makes your life fulfilled.

yes i heard that most guys complaint about that things as they thought that once they got married their whole life will be just for his wife and kids and work alone, for infact he can also make his own world by still going out with his friends though as i said he must also consider that theres someone waiting for him. besides independent being single is just temporary as they tend to have more fun without thinking of anything as their money is just for them alone, but somehow when they are old enough and they are still single and alone when they go to bed and sleep, only then they will realized that no money can buy the happiness with those whose who can stay beside you where you can have a little chit chat before going to sleep and someone to hug with.

Very true, Many don't understand this fact. they think marraige is a burden and married life is like a jail. I feel if both the partners understandes each other and give space there shouldn't be a problem. As one grows old, needs one for comfort and companionship.

Well, in my opinion, you don't exactly lose your independence when you get married. You just do things with someone else. For me, it's a different kind of independence compared to being alone.

yes your right, its not because your already married it means that you will going to loss your independence, in fact life is so nice upon seeing your wife nor husband and kids in the morning before you go to work, you can also go out with friends or go somewhere else whenever you want as it depends to you though of course you will also need to consider that theres someone waiting for you.

I am divorced and my marriage lasted for just six years. I have three children. I believe that the single life can be very much more enjoyable than a miserable marriage. When single a person can be independent. If married a couple don't seem to get on well all the time. I think that there are advantages and disadvantages of being with a particular person. I don't wish to get married a second time. I am happy to stay single for the rest of my life.

we are five siblings in our family, i am the first born but the last one who got married. for me seeing them with their married life, i was not satisfied with it. so i planned not to rush and take my life one step at a time. i do everything alone when they were all married already. watch movie alone, go up mountain climbing alone and other stuff as well. now i am married for 7 years and we have a four year old son. my wife is a perfectly fit person for me. of course we also have our own ups and downs but we solve it with holding hands. i was not afraid to loss my identity for every person has its own identity. you just need someone who can see pass through those imperfections. welcome to the wonderful world of mylor dur. good luck

Very true, marraige teaches us lots of things in life. We learn to adjust, sacrifice and learn what is life finally. God created us to reproduce and form families.
