For girls aged 25 and up.. get married or stay single?

I decided to remain a single mom because I know that it is better this way. I cannot see any wrong thing raising a child on my own. I broke up with the father of my child because he is not ready yet for his responsibility. We always argue even a little reason.

I'm twenty five and I'm starting to feel the pressure building up to find someone. For me, some of it is because I have a medical condition and the older that I get, the less likely I will be able to have children without so many complications. I'm restless to finally find someone to settle down with and start a real life with. I know that there are things you can't do when you are married, like go to the bar and flirt and such but I really am not into all that anyways.

I am 25 and single. lol.. I have a lot of friends with my age, or even younger than me who are married and even have kids already. We can't call it disadvantage of being married, because I believe some women just love it. They love having and building a family. As for me who is still single, thinks that being married, means that you have someone to rely on. If you are not sure whether your future husband can be relied on or not, you had better be single until you find someone that is right for you. As for me who is still single, being in a married, means that you won't be alone anymore. You won't face your own problem alone anymore. But however, I am happy to be single. I don't want to burden my life with the urge of being married. By pushing myself to find someone who is going to marry me. I am just happy as who I am now. That's all. :)

I have plan to get married but not now because i know i have some goals to finished. in your case just like what you've said your a single mom if you found the right guy that will accept you and your baby and ask you to get married regardless of age why not. we all deserved to be happy just don't rush the thing.

Hi there! Being married will be a wonderful experience if it will happen in the right time with the right person. But when you are married, of course, you will be spending most of your time with your partner and kids, if you have any. You will have more responsibilities at home and with your family. On the other hand, if you are single, you can still have all the time for yourself. You can go shopping, travelling, and etc. Though, being single may mean that your love life is in zero balance, at least you can still shop all you want. c:

Being married is not like going to jail :) You can have a great marriage if you find the right person for you. Problems, jealousy and other stuff like that appear in a normal relationship. At this moment I can see only minor differences between marriage and the relationship I have right now. If we were married we would probably live together, but wait, we ca do that anyway. Having kids? If the marriage doesn't work maybe parents are trying again only for their kids but it is easier to break up if you are not married. If you are married and will get divorced, earnings will be spit between the husband and wife. I think disadvantages are only related to the law.

For me, because of poor choices I have made in my life, it is better for me to not get married. I guess it's more accurate to say it is better for my future partner that we not get married. Here in the U.S. when two people get married all of their financials get combined so because I have gone to a tremendous effort to create the perfect disaster of my credit I would be selfish to share that with a husband. Also, I have developed a completely irrational fear that divorce is hereditary since so many of my family members have been divorced. My parents, both of their parents (and their step parents were married before as well but that doesn't really count), both of my mom's siblings...twice each. It's a little disquieting.

i think once you find the right man for you... you'll care less about the disadvantages of being married. People get married cuz they want to settle down and just be plain faithful to that person. When you're single you basically decide Everything on your own but once you get married you have to decide as a couple. that's where trust, loyalty, respect and compromise comes in.

The disadvantages are to go into parties or gatherings alone, that's the only one I see. I think we should get married for the right reason: love. It doesn't comes with age. Women have many things that society expects from us and I think we must be stronger, even more than men and stand up and do what our heart tells us, like if we won't get married now, fine, if we won't have children now fine, never? Fine too.

Friend without marriage we can not tell advantage or disadvantage of marriage life experience make man perfect. I think marriage is good than live single this my opinion but different people different opinion.

Seems to me the biggest disadvantage is having to account to another person. Out of respect you owe your wife or husand knowing where you are...when single you could come and go and not account to anyone..not so when married. Having said that I think being married is preferable to not being married..especially if children are involved. Every situation has problems, but raising kids while single has to be one of the more difficult. Of coure this all depends on having a great man ir woman in your life

Hi, there.. I am now 22 years old and I am with my boyfriend.. I am really planning to get married at age 25. Hehehe.. That's my ideal age to get married. But both me and my boyfriend are not financially stable yet. I think, it's a tough decision for everyone to get married. For me, once you are planning to take the vow of marriage, you are ready, wholly ready of the changes that you will face in the future. Of course, if a person is now married, he/she must let the other know of his/her plans and whereabouts because they are now embodied as one body. For me, marriage comes with great responsibilities. Hehehe.. I believe that it's not about the age but the mental maturity of the person for the married life.

Advantages and dis advantages of married life. Everything has its drawback so as it has in married life. I feel some bachelors need to be married because they feel alone but after getting married some told me the life gets bored to be as family men. But in this world everyone has some responsibilty living a life alone is not a challenge but getting married undergone problems and make standard life with his family makes u a fulfiled human. So better i would suggest u to get married not be alone and wasting ur life.

I guess that a married couple can give a complete family, that one with father and mother to their children. And they can give a better financial settings for the family, since it is more likely both parents should go to work right. A single parent might not give a complete family sense his/her child, and it might not have secure financial setting for the family too. But being a single parent, I don't know the advantage of it yet.
