I was thinking of why should I marry someone when all I can do is to live my life alone, enjoy all my money to myself, help my siblings get through college, help my parents with house chores as they grow old, and never have to worry about kids...please give me good reasons why I should look for a wife? I don't oppose marriage, I just need answers or guidance...Personal experiences is very much welcomed and all serious answers are very much appreciated...Thanks guys...

There are lots of answers that are better than these, but I'll give you a few a practical reasons:

If you marry a wife who works you can nearly double your household income, and you afford a month mortgage payment, twice what you currently pay. So when you say that you can enjoy all of your money by yourself - your lack of sharing is actually keeping you poorer than you could be.

Another reason, that is hard to think about when you are young, is that when you are 70 years old it will be useful for your to have a 60 year old wife who can still drive you to doctor visits when you can't drive yourself, or who can still hear well enough to answer the telephone after you are 50% deaf. If you never divorce, then a wife will help you to live longer.

There is no reason you should look for a wife and get married. Being single is not a bad thing - did it myself for 39 years.

You may just find that woman who completes your life and makes you want to be a better person and makes you ecstatically happy. Then you should marry her only if you really love her and are committed to spending the rest of your life with her. Never go into marriage thinking that if it doesn't work out you can always get a divorce.

I found for myself that, even though I am a perfectly capable person who could take care of myself, it sure is nice to have someone beside me to share things with. It's also wonderful to have someone beside me when things go wrong - if only to say "there, there, it will be all right.

And we don't have to worry about kids because we decided right from the get-go that we weren't having any.

Marriage should be a partnership with someone that you care about and who you confide in and count on when you need strength. It does not hurt when your spouse bring qualities to the relationship in areas that you need improvement.

Having a companion who compliments you can be rewarding. Marriage is just like any other relationship you enter a JOB! The reason why you would consider getting married is because you are willing to WORK on your relationship with a person whom you love and you don't want the relationship to end and you are ready to make a commitment that the bond between the two of you is strong enough that you will not anything come between it.

this is a personal decision for you to make because you are committing yourself to one person and only them...

theres nothing wrong with helping out your family, or looking after your parents when they grow old..even if you get married......marriage is what you make it..

yea you can chase the old american dream of money, yes you can live your life alone...but in the end when you are dying you will be alone too...you will never have anyone to hold your hand as life is gradually slipping away from you, you will never go home to someone with a shoulder for you to lean on every night when you want to talk about something, you will never hear the pitter patter of little feet as they say "daddy, can you play with me", you will never know all those little joys of life that are so worth it at the end of the day....

so whatever you decide in life just make sure that its what YOU want ...in your heart if you want to stay a bachelor forever then that is your decision and your decision only...

wish u the best.....

I feel that if two people truly love each other, they don't need that piece of paper stating that they are married. To me when the paper gets signed all marriage is, is a business partnership. I say that because finances is probably the biggest issue in marriage. You should do like you said, enjoy your money and live your life because once you get married you're gonna have to answer to someone, and in a sense you loose yourself somewhat in a marriage.

He that findeth a wife findeth a good thing...
It is not good for man to be alone...
Legal sex (spritually speaking)...
No more uncertainty concerning the opposite sex and "what to do tonight"...
Head over heels in love knowing you'd have a cow if someone else came and took your woman or man...
Permanent snuggle bear each night...
To provide a good home for future kids and grandkids...
To have someone to come/go home to...
To have someone through whoms hair to run your fingers...
To always have a scrabble partner...
To have someone to go to dinner and a movie with you...
To have someone else cook, get gas, take out the trash, open the mail, et cetera when you don't feel like it or have the time...
Peace of mind (worrying can be cut in two or eliminated along with a whole lot of other issues)...
To have a reflection as well as a contrast of yourself...
To have someone to itch that scratch you can't reach alone...
To have someone on standby tall enough to see what's on top of the refrigerator or small enough to retrieve things from tiny holes....
I could go on all day...

If you think you can live alone.. Then it's your choice, honey...

Marriage is very a huge step in your life..

If you found someone that will make you happy, and can be with you until the end of your days.. then go on, baby!!!

There's nothing wrong in being single... trust me! It's fun!, actually...

When you feel you accomplish all your goals in life, like helping your siblings and your parents, all your responsibilities... Then put your butt out, and think of things that can make you happy..

I assure you... one day... you'll be thinking of settling down..

To be honest... Marriage life is a disaster when you are not finished of your responsibilities... So, I advice you to the things you must do...

The good thing in marriage is you feel contented...

*sighs*

When you meet the right one...

i dont know ne more. i thought i did. but then that all changed when i got married and now im divorced. it was the worst thing i have ever done, and turned out nothing like i always expected, or how it should have.so why do ppl get married? prolly bc they intend on spending the rest of their lives together, but then they realize it wont b that way, once they are already in a marriage. thats why 50 percent of ppl that get married end up in divorce. well, sad to say, happy to say on my end tho, that i am one of those statistics. if there are kids involved, i believe ppl should be married. marriage is really you just taking your vows in front of god, and NOT breaking them, rather abiding by them til death do you part. that's it, plain and simple, you vow to stay with, be faithful to, help out thru thick and thin, sickness and inhealth, that other person til the day u die. thats what

Not everybody wants to get married, but a lot of people do. It's mostly because the thought of being alsone for their entire life is scary, and we want to be committed to someone. Although haveing children is going to be hard work, it will also be very fun and it will show us the true meaning of life. It's fine that you don't want to have a family, not everybody does. But if you do by some chance decide to get married and have children, I'm sure you will enjoy it!!

well first of all i think your just way off to an extreme in life right now, i mean you can count it as a 'phase' in life where you really dont give a dam about marrying someone and you know what? that is GREAT! why? because that proves to you that you are independent, that you dont have to cling to another to love and live life. i say, go ahead, enjoy the all the possible moment you have right now and then later on, later later later on, youll get the urge to be beside another person, someone you can talk to privately, who can help you when you need someone to hug, someone you can enjoy going on long exotic trips, someone you can play cards on a saturday evening and rent a movie.

trust me later on youll get that feeling. but as for now, enjoy being independent! only certian individuals have the capability to even TRY to be independent.
