If you will be given a chance (for those who are married) which would you choose? being married of remain single? married people can compare now which is the best life they had experience. Being single or being married. Well, for the singles, they still have chance to choose. For me, it was fun when I am yet single. I can go wherever I want to anytime I want. No body will ask me where did I go, what time I would be home,etc. Now that I am married, everything is change. I can't just decide things my own, I can't go to place without asking permission from my husband, and many things need to be shared your partner. But I like to be married because there is somebody who cared for you. What do you think? If you have to choose, which is the best do you think? Well, nice to hear from you.

of course, i prefer to be married because i already enjoyed ,in the fullest, my being single before. When your single, usually you donot have direction in your life.Unlike married, you can plan for your family's future. Aside from that, some single persons are easily get mad and sometimes irritable. It's nice being married especially when you have kids because they can take away the stress from you from office works.

When I was single I was happy being single. Now that I am married, I am happy in my marriage. I did what was right for me when it was right for me.

I definitely prefer being married. I never really liked being single very much for some reason. I just feel so much more fulfilled now that I am married and have someone to really take care of and someone who takes care of me. I am so much happier than I ever thought I could be now that I am with my husband. I definitely wouldn't trade married life for anything!

I'll still choose to be single and have a partner (without marriage). When you sign the paper, you have to commit a lot of time and effort into it. Besides, you have to make some sacrifes just to maintain the marriage. Which sometimes, you might just wasting your sacrifice and commitment for a wrong husband/wife!!!

a happy family - i have a happy family and i love my family very much. i enjoy my life as a married man.
Hello again dear Bebs. Thank you for your nice discussion. There are advantages and disadvantages as to being single or being married. Here please allow me to skip those advantages and disadvantages for comparison. I am married and I think that I love the life after marriage instead of my life as a bachelor. Married life is more comfortable and enjoyable for me as a married man. I love my married life and I am very happy to be a family man.

i haven't been married before but i used to have a boyfriend who's really possessive. when i got out of that relationship i had decided, i'm not into marrying. i'd be single for a long time until i'm mature enough to approve on being chained :D

you're very welcome :D hopefully i'll get the right one someday ^_^

Being single you have all the liberty to do what you want their would be no obligation regarding any issues best to be single and enjoy life. But life has to go on everybody needs a companon ultimately is'nt it? And more than us our parents will be concerned about us.

I have been a married woman for four years. I am now forty years old and this is my second time around with being a wife. At this point in my life I am happier being in the union of marriage. I don't want to be out in the dating scene. Yes, I can imagine there might be some bonuses to being single and coming and going a little more often but if you do find the right person you will be happy. Marriage is not for everyone but it is something nice for me. My husband and I also have a five year old at home that we are raising.

I love being a wife and mother. I would'nt want to have to deal with the dating bs again. I must admit though, I didn't have too much experience being single-I met my husband when I was a senior in high school and we got married a year after I graduated college. I went from mom and dad to him. If for some reason I ended up single again, I'm sure my main goal would be to get remarried! lol

ah!! really? that is why you can not sya much about being single because you did not experience being there for a long time. I do, that is why when I get married I have a hard time adjusting t a married life where you can't do things like what you did before because you have to consider the situation. thanks for replying.

i personally prefer singleness right now because theres so much i want to do that i couldn't do if i were married. i want to travel more, go a few places. do some things ive never done. and i feel that entering into a marriage without doing those things will actually do me more harm then not because i will not have grown from those experiences. never run into a marriage before your ready...cause it can be a double edged sword and you could end up regretting that you got married and not be able to do anything about it.

Hi Bebs this is a nice topic and I want to comment!I do really have lots of happy and remarkable memories in my single life and they really make me laugh whenever they flash on my mind. I also love the freedom that goes along with singlehood and the fun of being with friends in going to different places and also the excitements of being courted and saught after by guys and ohhh....falling in love!!! But given the choice I would still prefer my life now as a married woman despite the duties, obligations, hardships, trials and restrictions that go with it. It's wonderful to have a family that I and my husband have built in love. It's a heavenly feeling to have a home I can liken to a little piece of heaven on earth. It's woderful to wake up each morning with my husband embracing me and making me feel how much he loves me. It's a blessing to have someone to lean on, a loving and supportive partner in all undertaking, a true friend, a shoulder to cry on. How much more, my marriage brought about one of the most wonderful things that happened to me and that is... Motherhood. To me, being married is a bliss and I am very thankful to God for this. God bless!

oh!! yes, being married is nice too but there is a lot of adjustment to do when you are new into it. That is when you used to be single for a long time before getting married, it has a lot to adjust. thanks for replying.
