I'm happy being single. I dont want marriage or kids. But sometimes I just get real lonely and want someone there. Is it as great as everyone makes out? Esp as 1 in 3 marriages end in divorce?

Sure, it is. With marriage and children, you're constantly having to deal with what other people want. When you're single, the only person you have to answer to is yourself. I'd rather be single forever than married for any length of time.

I have been married for 21 years and I most certainly would NOT want to go back to being single. I honestly believe that I would be much less happy. Here's your problem: "Single people simply walk away from unhappy relationships and find happiness elsewhere." This statement assumes that happiness is found externally, a thing that can be located and appropriated. In reality, a deep, abiding, long-term love with a spouse is something not found, but created by two willing partners. This kind of love creates an abiding, rather than a temporary, happiness, and a happiness with depth and breadth, rather than a shallow happiness.

its just how you said it,being single is great i loved it lived on my own did what i want went out all the time ate when i wanted to cleaned up when i wanted to and had the whole bed to my self and was just seeing guys when ever i felt like it.when i got a boy friend it was great too for the first year then things change you dont have your home to your self you cant go out when you want to eat when you want to and everything does change but its a good thing too but then after 5 years you want out because you will miss the life you had when you were single and i do now i been in relationship now for five years he is great but i miss my independance and living in an apartment when i can do what i want when i want,i also now have two kids at 26?? which can be great at times but bloody annoying for the most part but i love them and i work around them,honestly if you like the way you are then stay that way have girl friends so you wont be lonely maby one day you will meet the one but when you dont dont rush and move in together just take it slow

when i was single i used to be happy as a single and when i'm married i'm happy as being married cause there are blessings to be able to live in both different ways.
when i was young i'm afraid of marriage as well and won't comprehend marriage cause there are so many divorce and especially having to grow up in a family that my parents quarrel and argue 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 a year non stop for the smallest issue in live. so what could be worst than living with them and it make me sceptical about marriage. but thank God i got to know Jesus and He gave me hope in life to see things in different angles and knowing it's not the end of my life yet. learn to count our blessings in life no matter what.

Marriage scares me too. But I want to get married and have kids. I also want that other person to fight just as much as I would for our marriage. I know it's scary, but you've got to take down that wall and let someone in. You don't want to be alone, right? Why would anyone want that? You need to be with someone that will be there for you and that you can trust with anything.....that's what a good marriage is....i hope.....I'm not there yet but I still dream about the day.

I'm happily single with my child. I work full time and have fun in my life, I miss the company some times but this has been the most peaceful time I've had in my life. I'm secure, have a job I love (work with special needs children) and believe in myself so really I have all I need right now.

i love being married. it's definately tough sometimes but i would rather argue occassionally with my husband than be single. we have a great relationship that i wouldn't trade for anything. you just have to find the right person. it's a great feeling knowing that no matter what, you always have someone by your side.

never been married but I prefer the single life, and yes it can be lonely but that's just how it is. Get a girlfriend if you're lonely
