Some are some aren't. I'm not--I can't stand even being in relationship anymore. I like being alone--no complications and no one to have to answer to.

Are we designed to get married? Yes Are we conditioned to stay married? No We are designed to get married because as human beings we need to be needed and be in love. The mere fact that we are loved is not enough or we would be happy with parental love or friendhip. Humans need passion and reproduction. Its an instinct designed in us. We search for it all of our lives and even after we fail at it many times we repeat the failure because we more afraid of being lonely than of repeated failure. Some people suceed, some people surrender, some people fight the battle thier entire lives, some people are prisoners of the war (alcohol, drugs, promiscuity, etc) but we all engage it whether we want to or not because we have no choice.
We are designed for it.

I like to think so. I cherish my marriage above all else in my life. I find comfort in knowing who I am going to be with everyday and have the ability to share my hopes and dreams with my husband. Unfortunately not all marriages are meant to be. I know this first hand as my first marriage lasted 21 years until he cheated on me. I guess what I am saying is the design depends on the person/persons in the relationship and their ability to be faithful to one another and commit to the union. I think when we fall in love there is only room for that one person and we hope to share our lives with them...unfortunately that doesn't always happen. But my 2ND marriage has been better then my first so I guess my first was never meant to be..dunno the final answer we will all have to wait and see.

Humans are a very diverse bunch. Some people are meant to have one partner but most will want to have several. Both are natural ways to live your life.

Two separate questions - one partner for life works for some (both due to cutural reasons and if both partners aspirations coincide and continue to coincide). Marriage is simply a legal and social contract.

I believe that we have one special person who we are supposed to be with, it takes us a few rounds of heart breaks, emotional rollercoasters before we find 'the one'. You will know when you have found the 'one'! Keeping looking and don't give up hope, 'the one' could be sitting right under your nose, so open up to new ideas', people and get out of your rut so that you can meet the one if they have not come along yet! Good luck, I found the one!

Some are and some are not,depends on what you want.
In the old days young adults were pressured to get married or society will look down on them and think
there is something wrong with them.

Nobody is designed to do it ..... but it is the natural and normal way of living life by having a family !

I guess so...In order to freely do those obvious things that when done outside marriage carry nasty ununderstandable labels...
I believe times have changed but lets just all marry our 'lovers', to be on the safer side!!

Absolutely. We were designed that way from Adam and Eve.
