Answer 1

Dear Leena,
Alone but Not Lonely - One of the best aspects of being single is not having someone by your side 24/7. Yes, you read that right. I'm not trying to stereotype, but I frequently see couples shortchanging themselves and sinking into ruts vast as quicksand. They allow their lives to become ultra-routine, figuring that it's okay to walk on the boring side so long as they're strolling hand in hand.

Many singles, on the other hand, work harder to have a well-rounded life. They keep themselves fit, attend lectures and workshops, go on interesting vacations, do volunteer work, engage in hobbies, look for more entertaining activities than dinner and a movie -- aren't these activities actually just attempts to find a mate, you ask? Perhaps, but the bottom line is that it's fine if these pursuits are undertaken with the hope that a man will materialize so long as if at the end of the night fun was had, man or no man.

Putting Yourself First - Another bonus derived from ''singlehood'' is the freedom of having time and space that's exclusively yours -- especially for those who see the ''alone'' hours as a gift rather than a burden. They have an invaluable opportunity to develop a satisfying interior life and nourish their creative side. It's so much easier to write a novel or concentrate on Yoga or another hobby of your choice and you don't have to break away to make dinner for hubby or hear the children cry.

Yes, there are times (after enduring a particularly brutal meeting at work, on a starlit winter night) when the only thing that seems worth having is a man's arms around you. Not to knock the joys of being caressed, but it's not the only joy to be found in life.

(Perfectly Happy) Party of One - I am not saying you shouldn't make an effort to meet a man, but I am saying don't fritter your life away in a desperate search to become part of a couple. I am suggesting you spend time with people whose company you enjoy, not just people who you think might be ''the one'' or lead you to the one. The more you enjoy your own company, the less driven you'll feel to hang with anybody just to have company. Being alone on a Saturday night is not a fate worse than death. Being with the wrong man can be.

Going out with whomever you want. Staying up late polishing your nails. Wearing a facial mask without fear of being found out. Ah, the joys of being a singleton. Live it up!

The isn't any "expected" age for you to get married. As long as you make sure you save enough for your old age, life can get really enjoyable being unmarried.
Though I am married, I have tonnes of friends now in their 40s still unmarried. They don't feel like they are lacking in anything. Yes, some of them are staying with a man, some with their aging parents. Either way, they do get some form of freedom that most married women don't enjoy.
For those who are officially "single", even the strongest women I've known, do have a guy on the side. What i mean by on the side is that they don't really need a guy to get things done, or when they need help or anything...but still they have a guy, not boyfriends...lets say friends with perks?
So back to your question...yes it's possible. It's all about what you want in life and how you keep yourself busy.

Oh, of COURSE life can be wonderful- marriage or not. We all must fill our lives with wonderful friends, stimulating activities, interesting hobbies. A boyfriend or husband should be the just the extra special something added on to an already wonderful life. Keep doing the things you love to do... and perhaps when you least expect it, a special friend will come along. If not- then- OK, too!

Answer 5

I think to an extent marriage is important, not just for women but also for men because no matter who you are, at some point in your life you do feel the need of a person you can call your own.The brothers and sisters and cousins may be there, but it might not be possible for them to look after you all the time.
If there is no alternative for you than to live alone then one must really be mentally strong to achieve that. I do think that it is beyond the capabilities of most of us to live a mentally healthy life while living alone.

Answer 6

You can live a wonderful life without being married, I know alot of single people that dont want to get married and they are happy
so, if you find someone, you just do, and if you dont your life
can still be fullfilled

Answer 9

Why not ? it all depends on your mental determination and how you carry yourself in the outside world and ofcource how you face it. Problems are not sex based or biased each one has to face them, when the person try to live with his principles or choosen path. And no one spared from this truth! It all depends on your guts! Be brave and face it, the world will be yours! Ultimately it is you who has to decide what you want to do!
