U can do what u feel. But u cannot do otherwise. If one day u'll fall in love with someone, really love, u'll not be able to stand against your own heart. My advice: Never say never!

u will be ok if u have also decided on what u wish to be doing with ur life while others are busy getting married, making a home and having babies. am all out for marriage but then i respect the wishes of those who do not want to get married.if i may ask what prompted that decision? i hope it is not a bad life experience or u wish to go into the convent?thats not actually a bad idea u know .take ur time and decide, then plunge right in after all its ur life, only just look for something worthwhile to do so that the devil will not see an idle workshop to use.takia

Getting - or not getting married - is a very personal choice. Times have changed. A woman does not 'need' a man to complete her, to show her worth You can have a wonderful, fulfilling life by yourself if this is what you want, but remember that you only live once and life passes before our eyes in a minute. Enjoy your life, do things that make you happy, and if you decide not to ever get married, then be happy with that decision and don't let the 'what could have beens' haunt you. Good luck!

We know from scripture that some are called to be single. Paul speaks of this in I Corinthians, he even says that "it is better for people not to marry", although he does admit this is his advice, not a "word from the Lord".
You can rest assured if God is calling you to a life of singlehood, he has equipped you to do so. So are you going to be "okay"? If you remain focused on seeking Him first, and He is leading you to it, He has already provided the means for your satisfaction in this life. He only desires the best for us.
However, when you are tempted to look at the world and say "everyone I know is married, what's wrong with me?", and you dwell on that, then you will only confuse yourself, and lose focus on God.
Now, what you need to ask yourself, is if you're taking this position with a peace with God in mind, or if you're resigning yourself to this because you do not see how you will ever get married based on your circumstances, past and present. I know people whose first marriage happened after 40...they just didn't feel ready until then....and they are perfectly happy being married and having children at this point in their life.
I would hate to see you resign yourself to this if you just happen to be in one of those states between dating partners or in a long rut of not dating. Only you can answer what your motivation behind such a statement is. in any event, whatever path you believe God is calling you to, do it without regret, for He knows what will truly make you the most content.

ME TOO!!! I'm also not having kids. Yes I am straight and happily involved with a MAN that treats me absolutely perfect...We will be just fine my dear!
Also, to the other posters...she said she's not getting married. Not that she will be a single hobo for the rest of her life! Geesh!
