What is better being single or married?

Answer 1

Being single is better than being in a bad marriage.
Being happily married is way better than being single.

Answer 2

This is a personal choice a person has to make and there is not set or certain answer for it. Most single people want to be married and most married people wish they were single again. Some people are just never happy if you know what i mean. To me we should be content with what we have in life whether we are married or single. I did not like being single as it was lonely and sad and i am much happier and content in my life now that i am happily married to my wonderful and loving husband. It makes me feel complete and loved as a whole person. I do not wish to be single or a single mom again. JMHO I would be lost without my husband and kids. But my mom is happier single now that my dad passed away. She was happy in her marriage but she never chose to marry again and is quite happy being single now. It is a personal preference and choice and there is no wrong choice either way.

Answer 3

That's like "Should I have kids or not?" It is an individual choice whether to get married or not. Me personally, I liked being married (just not WHO I was married to), but I also know how to be single and take care of myself. Being single you have alot more freedom to do what you like without having to check with your spouse to make sure their isn't anything else going on. Being married, you aren't alone, you have someone to share your time and self with. I have seen too many people get married just because they don't know how to live without a guy/girl. That's a good reason for divorce. Being single is fine. Being married is fine. But if you get married, make it be for the reason of love and commitment. NOT because you don't want to be alone.

Answer 4

It's a subjective question, depends on individuals.. My concern;
1. Stay single, if you're not ready for "married commitments"
2. Chose married, if you've found someone who loves & cares for you!
It doesn't matter - being single or married as long you're happy and contented with your life!

Answer 5

Being single is definitely better. When you're single at least you have the luxury of imagining that there's actually a good one out there somewhere... When you're married, the reality of it all can be pretty ugly.

I'm one of the lucky ones, I found a good one. But 99% of the time, you're definitely better off being single.

Answer 6

Well now, that sort of depends what YOU want out of life, doesn't it?

If you want to just stay single, sleep around, swim in the "dating pool" and have "loose shoes" (which means the freedom to come and go; no committment), then you should not consider long-term relationships of any kind.

If you want someone as a life partner, someone with whom to share both the good times and the bad, someone that will learn how to push all your hot sex buttons, someone who will care about YOU for more than just a good time and a fling, then consider marriage.

I'm not saying one is better or worse than the other - it all depends what you want.

Answer 7

It would depend on how old you are, when you are younger being single is the way to go, noone should be married until they are about 30 they dont even know who they are until then

Answer 8

For ME being single is better

Answer 9

Happiness depends on the individual!!! I have been married for 13 years to the same man..and I am only 32. He is half of me. Not to sound corny but he completes me.

On the other hand, many people have diffrent things. Like my professor, she is perfectly happy being single. She gets what she needs in life from teaching students...she doesn't want a man to tie her down from what she needs/wants to do.
Life is your for the taking. Do with it what you need or want.

As far as kids go: My children are the best part. For my professor her students are her kids. And she contributes to many. Whose to say who is right!!!

Answer 10

I'm 37 and still single. I feel lonely indeed, so I think being married with children is better.
