No it is not needed to be successful. If a person doesn't have time for family, then it would be wrong to bring a family into his life. If the other person knew that time was precious and rare with you and they understand the odds of it changing were highly unlikely, then it would be ok. Children should not be brought in it at all. To raise a child you need time with them. Single parents do it all the time, but the children learn from it. If you are there yet absent they will learn this and might use it when they have a family. A person can be very successful without a family.

If you mean if marriage is essential for two unrelated people, but who are in friendship belonging to different sexes, the answer is yes for the following reasons: (I am not going to deal with the religious aspects here) 1. Marriage is nothing but an agreement strenghthened by vows by couple, before an invisible but powerful set of holy entities, a whole lot of friends and relatives. This will make the couple think many times before taking any decision to break the agreement. 2. If the arguement is that the couple are very devouted to each other that there is no chance of dishonouring the agreement, and therefore there is no need for the marriage, it will be a difficult arguement to agree with, for, the human nature is fickle minded, their behaviour can change at the slightest provocation. The bondage through marriage can make it difficult to just like break it. 3. Last but not the least, whether we like it or not, marriage gives a legal status for living together which will help the progenies not to get any embarassment, even though the couple themselves claim no embarassment. The producers of the children have the moral obligation not to cause any embarassment to the children who were born to them because of them.

No. Marriage is something that takes a lot of work. It is not necessary to be married to have a successful fulfilling life. I have been married twice and am happily single...I would not give up my independence again.

Are you kidding me? No, of course not. Those are old-fashioned notions. Would the addition of having a husband or wife make you more successful? I don't see why it would. It might make you happier, for sure, but your success relies only on yourself and your actions.
