I've had married couples tell me this. They always encourage me to make the most of being single because for most people it's only a season.

I think there are times and moments when we all think about being single because we are individuals and to a small degree being in a relationship means you give up certain things or do certain things you wouldn't if you were single. However I think when a married couple looks at the big picture that are much happier being married than they ever were single and their life is fuller and more complete because of it.

I think everyone feels like that one time in their marriage especially when you're going through a tough time. Marriage is not for everyone but if you know what you have to do to make it work and follow through it can be very good, BUT...... no matter how well suited for each other there will be problems and respect and love is what make it work. There will be times when you ask yourself what the hell are you doing and then there will be time when you know you don't ever want to be without that special person,
IF you're single and happy stay that way if you find you want to share your life with someone, know that it's not easy but it can bring so much happiness when you take your time and find and love that special someone., Do this, look at that person and ask yourself do I want to be with that one after they get old, the teeth fall out, they get gray hair and I have to remind them to clean up after themselves. If the answer is yes then honey you're ready to find a mate and get married.

I can honestly say that my husband and I both wish that we were single again from time to time. Then I look at what my single friends are going through with dating and on again, off again relationships. I think back on everything my husband and I have been through and everything we have overcome together. I look at our life together and I thank God for every moment of it. Then I am able to put the thought of being single out of my mind.

Anyone who regrets marriage isn't in a loving relationship either. They are not truly in love with the person they married because they believed in the over rated ness of marriage.
Let's face it... being married doesn't have you making tons of money, having sex as often as you like, having 2.5 kids , the white picket fence around the house either. Reality of the situation is that we marry because the other person has something that we envy or want in our lives that we didn't have before. Many don't face the reality either.
It's no wonder that divorce is at an all time high either.

Yes. There are good sides and bad sides to everything. Sometimes I miss running around going out to party often, and having which every woman I was with at the time come by every so often. But being married, I'm happy that I have someone to curl up with at night, takes care of me and is concerned for my well being....and I her's.

Yes!!! Alot of the time. But if you and your partner are really close friends, and have alot in common, you may be fine...You can do alot of things together. I think the problem is when you don't have much in common and then one feels left out when the other does things w/their friends. That's when you start to wish you were single again, because you don't have to worry about pleasing anyone...

I do have those moments but then I remember all the idiots I met when I was single and I thank my stars I found my hubby(most days..LOL) Its the 'grass is always greener' mindset. Married ppl want to be single and vice versa just like girls with curly hair want straight hair and vice versa.

Yes, when I was married I always had thoughts of being single again. Now look where I'm at. DIVORCED. No regrets though. He just wasn't the one.

Everyone in any relationship has times when they wish they were single...or at least free of their mate. It passes and happiness returns if everyone does their job correctly. There are very few who do their job so well that this never happens, but their are a few. Constant praise, constant attention, never taking anything for granted...these are the keys. Good luck

That's sad but for many people that is the way they feel. I have been married sixteen years now, am 35 and have 3 lovely teenagers, i wouldn't trade my man for any man living. we both love the Lord, and it means that we are spiritually in the same camp. In addition to that, we are willing to meet each other half way, to make sacrifices and to work at making each other happy. marriage gets more exciting when you are best friends, lovers and companions.
