People (not all but many) seem to think you have completed life if you marry. Many people are not married, and many want to be. Yet some are happily content to be single and have more freedom, and to be able to have friends of the opposite sex. I can enjoy female friends and go shopping, a visit to their home to help them clean up the yard or to play with their pets, dogs or Cats. To watch a movie and to enjoy outdoor parks and places. Sex is not part of friendship, just Relationships (that are deep serious and committed). I'm happy being able to know women who share my interests and can enjoy them with me, but I don't think Marriage is a absolute must. Everyone is not cut out to be a Good husband or wife or great father or mother. We just don't have what it takes.

It obviously is not a must for everyone. You sound very content and grounded in your relationships. Don't let others change who you are.

I agree! Marriage is not for everyone and especially people who enjoy freedom and not being told what to do. Marriage is a piece of paper saying if you F'#$%-up you gonna loose what you got. On the other hand if you really find someone it's is a great way of saying I love you, but living together is much harder than most think. I would suggest that if you decide to marry live together for a while first. If it works out great if not oh well nothing lost. get a prenup

A marriage is nowadays an official exclusive relationship. It is not necessary for a person's peace of mind. We grow up thinking and being trained that once we are older we must get married, buy a house and make babies. Not true. If you can be happy with your friends, good. Some don't even have a friend in their supposed closest person, their spouse. Treasure your friends, they are the family you choose. You can't choose your blood family.

life is what you make of it married or not,you can still enjoy hanging withyour friend even if your married especially if you have a spouse that relizes that it is important to haveyou own set of friends to be able to do the things that you seem to enjoy, the secret to having a similar married life to a ingle life is to find that special personwho understands this and there is no law saying that everyone should be married you just need to do what makes you happy i would like to add this the way you describe hanging out with friends and the things that you like to do i dont think that you would make a bad husband or father the girl that catches you eye will be very lucky its just a feeling so dont rule out marriage just yet.

I don't think you need to be married to be happy. I am happily un married, but in a committed relationship in which we have a child. We both love each other, but do not feel the need to make it "official" by having a wedding and being married. We know that we are committed to each other and really do not feel the need for it. So, marriage is not for everyone and don't think that anyone should feel guilty about not being married.

My step-son claims he is married to the single life. Good for him. He is very happy and enjoys life. He like children but likes to give them back after he has spoiled them. At least this is what he does with his much younger siblings. He has dated young women with children and has fun with the children involved however has no desire to have his own.
He is a professional and makes great money and owns his own home. Marriage is just not in the cards for him. He loves being single and likes his life. We would love for him to get married and give us grandchildren however we know that is just not in the cards. I am happy that I have other boys that will probably married.

Given that 50% of marriages in this country end in divorce, I can't accept the notion that marriage is a "must" for everyone. And bear in mind that all marriages, good and bad, take time to develop, so if you end up heading for divorce you will doubtless spend some time in a very unhappy situation.
Remember, love is what you DO. It's not all about hormones.
Good luck.

hi,
that is agreeable and argumentative at the same time in some peoples eyes. i for one am a single mom of three and have never been married not that i was never asked because i was asked several times, we will not go there. i agree with you there are people out there that feel marriage is not right for them and there are people out there who want to get married but in there latter years just for the companion part of it. so i think that your theory is pretty much right

Guilty, me? For not marrying? Heck no. If I had married, then I couldn't have all the women in the world available to me without cheating. This way, I can have any woman anytime as long as she is agreeable. I have thirteen women at any one time in my coven. Then I move on and start another. Only way to get lots of covens going. Every so often, I go back to one of the previous covens to ensure they are still doing well.

There is no reason for a man to get married unless he wants to start a family. A wife is not a positive, she is a negative for your life. You are much better off having a girlfriend.
Marriage is not a natural progression of nature. It's an invention by females to control males and allow them an easy life.
Don't do it...ever. You will be happier in life without a wife.
