Im talking about a bit conservative section of girls who nourish dreams of a happy married life..can they live happily if they are unable to get married?
Or is marriage everything in life?
Im confused coz I have witnessed educated,talented girls ending their lives only coz they failed in their relationships or were'nt successful in marriage.Why does it happen?

marriage is not everything, you can do quite fine without getting married

Yes, women who have been in deep realtionships and/or were married can and do live happily ever after if they become unmarried. I personally have two lady friends in this position, long term marriage, which fell apart when husband left for a newer model. Neither ever, even remotely, considered suicide! You might as well ask why anyone would choose self-murder over life, rather than this specific case. People kill themselves for all kinds of reasons. Personally, I wonder what could be so bad that a person would consider ending their life a better alternative than facing the problem.

I think so. There are so many unhappy couples in the world. Marriage is very hard and when you marry the wrong person, it changes your life forever. Even if you get divorced the scars are still there. So many people stay in unhappy relationships just because they are afraid of being alone, Unfortunately, some people think it is the end of the world when someone doesn't love them back. We need to raise our kids with high self esteems. So they don't grow up believing that they have no worth unless they are with someone. I really believe that people can truly be happy without getting married and having kids. It depends on the person. If they have their careers, friends and family. I definitely think they can have a happy life.

I think I can be happy if I never marry. I'm doing fine so far. Although I can totally sense that people wonder what is wrong with me since I have never married. Isn't that sad ? They keep asking me what I'm doing with my life like going to work and living my life isn't enough. They seem to think I'm doing nothing since I'm not a wife and mother. I think that is bullsh*t. Look at all these women who married and are so unhappy. Look at all these women who married and divorced. Why would all that make my life any better ? I dont believe in men or their ability to stay faithful so why in the world would I sign up to wash his laundry and take care of him ??

I think many women can be happy and live a good life without getting married but to those that is all they want it could make them feel so bad they do not have it because they are not married. On the other hand I think all women need to make themselves happy not rely on a man to do it for them. Live life you only live once!!

Some people are more in need of companionship than others. There are many people who are very happy just the way they are - free, single and disengaged. Others, like me, need to know that there is someone there at the end of the day to rub my feet when they are tired; to make dinner when I'm working late and snuggle against when I'm cold.
To answer your question - marriage isnt everything, but companionship sure makes the journey a lot more pleasant.

Yes, I am an educated professional and I didn't feel like I need to get married. I live my life and my boyfriend lives his. We are completely committed to each other and we see each other when we can. I don't need to marry him and live in his house or vice versa. I'm fine with my relationship. I also don't want children that's a big factor. He already has 3 and would like to have more but it doesn't matter to him.

You can have both, but it's hard work regardless.. Sometimes being single and happily UNmarried is the best thing. Marriage can be dangerous to a woman's health due to added stress, causing heart problems, depression, etc. I think that you can see it either way.. you just have to do what works for you.

Yes! Anyone can live happily and fully without the benefit of marriage or children. Living a rewarding life is based on the individual and their internal satisfaction with self. We make our own selves happy - external influences only make it 'tastier' and enhance....like icing on the cake.

All this has to do with the individual's expectations. If you have realistic expecations, and behave consistently with those realistic expectations, you can live a content and satisfied life as a single person, or married. It's all a matter of perspective.

My aunt has never been married and she's one of the happiest people I know. I have a girlfriend who is not married but I secretly think she wants to be. I'm married and I enjoy it; as much as I love my private time alone, I enjoy having a partner to spend time with and share my dreams with - and vice versa.
