Do you think a purpose in life is only fulfilled after getting married?

Hello, bembzee :) I don't agree with these people. I know people who are happily single and have no plans to get married. Most of them are also successful, content with live, make great contributions to society, and are exemplary in their choices and life-styles. So, I think, it's not whether your're married or single,; it's who and what you are as a person which determine whether your life is empty or fullfilled.

It is a matter choice, that you perceive would make you complete and happy. Fulfillment is a state of contentment and appreciation of what you have and you don't have. Having a family is a choice and so thus being single. At the end of the day, life is what you make of it and what you really want out of it.

not everyone is alike bembzee, some are happy with being single..some are happy married.. we cannot tell because like i have said it is different for everybody

One of the main purpose of life is to live a meaningful one. HAving a purposeful life can be anybody , it may be Regardless if you are married, divorced, widow, or even single. Yes, it is an additional fulfillment in life if a person got married and able to have a long term partner, a child to raise, but, having a purposeful life does not only engage about getting married and having a family. Having a family is a big responsibility to carry for preparation of the sons or daughters in the next generation. It does not mean that when you get married and have a family you are already fulfilled in life purpose. You will only know you are fulfilled if in your realizations and the people around you have given you that gratitude of your existence by inspiring, molding or even just by their side always.Do you believe that there are some older persons that do not accept in themselves they are fulfilled? even they have their grand children. Maybe because in themselves, they find it not in their own expectations,or desires, or what they called like "unfinished mission". If it is true that the only purpose in life is to get married? they why other people keep on living and coping from a broken marriage or whatever bitter past they went off with, or maybe investing more for their lives after getting married? this is because.Our world, where life does not stop there at all. Life as days go by, either you are married or not? keep growing and moving,it keeps on giving each one of us many things to discover, learn and realize, it gives us second chances also to find what is the real purpose of our existence and what we really wanted to have, to correct, change or might have dream to have which we may consider wanting to have and consider it as a meaningful one. A person can only know he is fulfilled if he find it meaningful and this goes for everybody with no reservations, it can come from anybody, in different races and cultures as well and definitely all of us? have own purpose in fulfillment of life that cannot be manipulated by other people conflicting our freedom to choose .

as it was written that GOd said: "Go out and multiply" This may be the mission of human beings. But since blessed singleness, handmaids are also recognized, then maybe it is also a mission for some... But if you are happy with where you are, life is definitely fulfilling.

I think that it depends on the person. Some people have no desire to get married, or they may get married but not want children. I am married and have children and I am happier now than I have ever been, but this may not be the case for someone else. One of my best friends is single with no kids, she has a great job, owns her home, she travels and dates and she is perfectly happy with her life. So I don't believe that if people choose not to marry that their life will be unfulfilling. People who want to marry and have kids but haven't found the right person yet may feel unfulfilled in life, but happiness will find everyone and I fully believe that.

It all depends on the person. If he's goal is to marry and build a family then it is fulfilled the moment he gets married and start having kids. But being single does not mean one is unable to fulfill his/her purpose in life. There are people who have different purpose in life which they feel they can accomplish if they remain unattached so they prefer to live a single life and they are happy at that. Actually being single does not mean one is miserable. Indeed there are many single folks who are fulfilled, successful and contented with their life.

I think that having a partner and a child is something that a lot of people do work towards because the human race is programmed to want to reproduce and carry on the species. However, this is not the case with everyone and it is not something that every single person needs to work towards. It's all about personal preference, and if you're honestly happy being single and not having a child then that is entirely up to you. There are plenty of ways that you can live your life without having to reproduce, including travelling and dedicating your life to your career, so these are things that you could do instead.

Well, I feel like my purpose in life was realized and is slowly being fulfilled every day that I live. You see, I honestly believe that the purpose for my being here is to care for people and I do have two children and a husband that I do care for. However, I also was able to partially fulfill my purpose in the work that I've chosen to do throughout my life. While I do love my husband with all of my heart, I don't feel like my life wouldn't ever be complete if I'd never been married in my life.

We all have different goals in life as a human being. Because there are many people mostly, priests and nuns out there who are really fulfilled about their lives even though they don't have a family at all. But for myself, I really think that having a family and a child someday would really satisfy and fulfilled me as a person. :)

i think yes it does to some extent. for me yes but it does not mean that it is for me so everyone has to be the same. some people prefer to be successful career wise than married life. So for me it is yes. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

I don't believe getting married and having children is the only way to feel fulfuilled..There are other ways to feel this way..Althought a lot of us want to find our soul mate then eventually have kids with our partner, sometimes life doesn't always pan out right away, and sometimes, it is just being impatient with life because they haven't served their purpose yet.. There are people who are meant to be single in life; because they have a different purpose from God and they chose to live a certain lifestyle; these are priest and nuns. Some people don't end up getting married at all because they are happy with their life just the way it is and sometimes they don't end up getting married at all because of their life choices. Life isn't about marathons but the journey of life you walk on..

I do not believe it to be like that at all. Getting married is something sacred and it must be done not because feels that it is part of life. Life is something else. You must learn to love and know your lover in every dimension before deciding to get married. A child will definitely come is the marriage is good. Single people like to take time to make decision. They have been through a lot and therefore they go through life cautiously as they do no want to repeat the same mistake again. I am a single woman I live my life to the fullest and I am enjooying every single moment of it.
