As Armagedon is apparently so near why does anyone bother to choose a partner when the Kingdom of God is so near that they will be able to choose a perfect partner.

If I knew the world was going to end soon, I would get married too.

Hey, I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and I do not plan on marrying anyone anytime soon. I love the freedom of being single. I rather wait until we're in the new system of things where perfect people will reside. Marriage too much hard work now and too many divorces...no thanks I'll stick it out a while.

The Scriptures actually COMMEND a Christian who can 'make room for singleness' so that he can do more in God's service.
(Matthew 19:10-12) The disciples said to [Jesus]: “If such is the situation of a man with his wife, it is not advisable to marry.” 11 He [Jesus] said to them: “Not all men make room for the saying, but only those who have the gift. 12...there are eunuchs [overcoming their sexual impulses] that have made themselves eunuchs [without marriage] on account of the kingdom of the heavens. Let him that can make room for it make room for it.”
Yet those who choose to pursue marriage in this system are not to be criticized. The Scriptures help Christians to recognize that it is wise to consider physical sustenance (though of course materialism is wrong). A Christian who does so is hardly "judgmental".
Even a godly person has the right to consider practicalities in their choice of a marriage mate. The Scriptures contain good counsel to help one improve one's personality, deal with loneliness, have practical success, and prepare for marriage.

Yea this is like what the hundredth time. So some lady pissed you off. Get over it and get a job. Who wants to marry a lazy bum they have to support. So you like her she is supose to love you and support you and blah blah blah.
Move on she is just not that into you! If some girl liked you you didn't like would you have to like her because this end of the world is coming and I am the last man on earth. Get over your self.
that was just an excuse, she is just not that into you. Get over it.

In your other question, you referred to 2 answers given your friend. These are two opinions that do not represent the entire organization.

I know of non-JWs seeing JWs for a considerable amount of time so it is possible to get a partner outside of the handcuffs of JWism. Is it possible there is a religion out there that says what you CAN do as opposed to all these restrictions? Naffing fed up of veils, eating habits and other bllx.

you seem to have a chip on your shoulder about this, talk to the elders or give it a rest.
It is an insult to all the people who answered your previous, similar question, that you are reposting
