Do you think it is better to stay single and never get married?

Question

Why or why not?

I mean at one time I was obsessed with finding the "one." , but now I am wanting to travel my whole life and I enjoy my freedom and independance. I dont even think I want a steady girlfriend , unless I absolutely am sure that it the one without doubt, otherwise I would not even want a serious girlfriend.
I never understood people who got married right after highschool. Those are ones I just cannot understand how somebody just goes for the first available person in their area.

Answer 1

I so understand how you are feeling. Untill recently I was in a long term relationship headed down the wedded bliss route but we seperated in September and god I felt so free after it.

Now I travelled from UK to Canada spending time with a friend who is having issues but none the less. I've stopped looking, if it happens, if someone comes across my path and makes me look twice then I might take things slowly.
I think what I am trying to say is that, I've just realised that I am getting 1 shot at this life and I am going to do what I feel comfortable with doing, if its settling down with a million kids then fine or if its partying for a week long then thats fine too. Go with your gut, you know what you want. What is right for others might not be right for you.

Dude Staying Single is the way to go. Having a girlfriend is great but if something goes wrong you can just break up and find someone else with no strings attached. Getting married is not a good idea unless you are the type of guy who wants a steady boreing life. I personally wouldnt even get a girl friend, If I want some I can get some and not have to worry about any of the bull asscosiated with a relationship. I think people should be free to do what they want when they want and not be tied down by a girl. You should stay single and just go on dates with lots of women and meet as many people as humanly possible. What makes dating so fun is that you will allways meet new people and everyone will be completley different from the other person. To me half the fun of being with a girl is getting the girl in the first place. And No pick up lines dont work 99% of the time.

Answer 3

I feel that everyone deserves a partner in life. What could be more wonderful, self-affirming and romantic than a permanent companion? I think a lot of single people are unhappy, actually. I don't mean in a desperate way. Humans need companionship. They need to get together and support each other. It is natural and desirable.

You have to be ready for marriage. I don't favour young people rushing in unless they are both mature, secure and emotionally ready. I understand some marriages are meant to end because of the circumstances but others are thrown away.

I am with the people in a loveless marriage that is fruitless and pointless, or there is some problem-marrying too young, adultery, drug addiction, neglect, no help with raising children and housework, abandonment, abuse, etc. Those people should end their marriages and others should try to work on them first before throwing in the towel. It would be a shame to regret a divorce and have to live with it. It is the attitude in our society and not the laws. Of course, I am from North America, so I think this way..

Answer 4

You should definitely enjoy your freedom while you're still young. I don't think this is something you need to worry about because when you find someone who you fall in love with all of your doubts will disappear. Maybe when you find the right person you'll share you passion for travelling with them. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be single , you'll probably grow out of it. Regarding people who get married right after high school, I don't think they're just going for the first person they meet, but I do think that it's probably just puppy love and eventually most of them end up getting a divorce. But anyway, take your time you'll end up finding someone special. Good Luck!

Answer 5

I believe if you find the "one" you find the "one" and if you don't, you don't.
Our paths are already set out for us.
I myself, have always enjoyed being in a relationship but have never had the desire to get married.
I have a bf and he lives by himself and I live with our son and it works for us.
I think that if you are angry and bitter about being single, you really want to be married. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to be alone and travel and have no obligations to anyone but yourself. You are wise to not marry at this time, because it just may end in divorce.
Enjoy the sights!

Answer 6

For financial purposes a never-married person will accumulate greater than average wealth as she/he has never had to fork out for their offspring, however this is seen as selfish and extremely unpractical to those who believe people exist to produce the next generation.
If one never finds the right person, and by right we don't mean the best looking but the most personality compatible partner, then its probably natural to never get married, however if you consciously and strictly choose to do so as you are in fear of divorce then it seems you are missing out on some happy times. I just wonder if according to the empirical info that I have at hand, ie my friends, how long this beauty parade thing will go on for, and by that I mean the vanity some people have in assuming that they are so gorgeous, hence by implication, people only date and get hitched because their partner looks like they've just stepped out of a glossy magazine. I'm surprised that there are still people out there who stand up for marriage and don't come out with "ooohh its only a piece of paper" terrible misuse of language.

Answer 7

Even if you do find the girl doesnt mean you have to marry, I have been with my girlfriend for 10 years have 2 kids and I always tell here I am never getting married! As far as I am concerned I am married! We all have different destinies and if you are comfortable with being single or with having no comitment then thats great!

Answer 8

For me in my opinion, i'm chuffed that i'm with someone i pick to spend some thing of my existence with and performance a kin with. i imagine everyone seems different and may completely comprehend someone who lives an noticeably chuffed existence being unmarried, no longer courting or getting married or having little ones. I belive everyone has the right to do what they prefer with their existence, (see you later because it wouldn't have an detrimental influence on everyone else's existence) and it isn't everyone's ideal purpose in existence to get married and performance a kin.

Answer 9

Marriage is sooooooooooooo boring & depressing, the moment I was forced to make that committment, 20 odd years ago, all of my lust for life disappeared.
On the positive side I've got 4 lovely boys, I think thats your real dilemma if you want children, but if not stay single, be free !!!

Answer 10

No offense but it sure is none of your business what anyone else does with their life. Some people are to marry at 14 and others are not to marry at all. Christians who do not marry are able to devote more time to our Lord if they do not marry.
