YES. ABSOLUTELY. UNQUESTIONABLY. ANYTHING is better than being alone.

Of course not!!
It's better to be alone, than in a bad marriage. In a marriage that doesn't work there's psychological and emotional abuse, might even be some physical abuse. These cause low self-esteem. When you are alone , as with no spouse, then you can come and go as you please, with out worrying about what he/she will say. You can dress how you feel good about your self and not worry if he/she will give you a negative comment. You can make plans to see your friends and family any time you want or feel like it. If you come home late , who cares? There is no one waiting to give you a hard time for it.
I'm not saying that its better to be single than be married. I'm saying if it's a bad marriage why stay in it?
If you have a rotten apple do you eat it? No. You get rid of it.
(Probably not a good example) But, you might end up figuring out that you and he might get along better if you wouldn't take each other for granted. Heck !! you might even end up being best friends once you separate and live your lives separately.
Think about it. In reality only you can make a choice. Weigh it all. Can you two go to counseling, is he/she willing to do it. In order for a marriage to work, both have to be willing to work at it.
Peace and Love your way.

A bad marriage is soul destroying and a waste of time. It will affect any children in the marriage too.
Some people stay in a bad marriage because they dont want to be alone , financial reasons and fear.
Being single is not as bad as being in an abusive marriage. A loveless marriage will take its toll and you will be filled with regret later on
so no.

well not necessarily, because over 51% of marriages end in divorce in America, a bad marriage isn't better or worse than no marriage. If over 1/2 end in divorce, they are then also a bad marriage as well. i would have to say they are they same, but there are yor occasional good ones as well.

Yes. If you ever talk to people who have been married for over 50 years, they all will say that there were tough times in their marriage and that there were good times. They all are glad, after the years have rolled by, that they percevered and stood by their spouse. If you are involved in a bad marriage, consider seeking counseling, or even try temporary separation. But stay married when you take vows.
Divorce is totally against the wedding vows that you took, and it means that you are a liar.

I agree that a bad marriage is worse than no marriage. You'd be miserable in a bad marriage. To be single is safer than the trauma of a bad spouse.

absolutely not, but this answer is from a person whoz into a bad marriage. People who are not married will definately still want to say ÿes to your question.
But as the one who suffers only knows the pain..... so NO in caps.

NO WAY.....You cannot compare a lifetime of unhappiness in a bad marriage with a lifetime of happiness as a single person. No comparison! If a person gets or stays married just for the sake of saying they are married, that is just plain silly. Life has so much to offer all of us and happiness is key.

No...never. A Bad marriage affects the psyche of everyone in the household and contributes to mental trauma that can never be erased for both adults and the children. Get out..save everyone's life.

To my opinion, if the interests overcome the critical points of a marriage, then it is better to marry, then be alone...

A bad marriage is awful and it brings out the worst in you. It's comforting to have a spouse around but you soon discover what it is that you really want.
