Do you think that people that never get married and have children never truly mature? All the time I hear people saying that this is true, but I disagree as I am mature and do not have children and I am not married, nor do I ever plan to be.

I don't think it's true. You're a person who knows what he wants and gets it. That's mature.

I don't think that people that don't get married or have children are immature. It takes great maturity to not do those things just because everyone expects you too. If that's the life that makes you happy, great, but I don't think it has anything to do with maturity. There's PLENTY of immature married parents in this world.............

Having a family is a life experience that can not be taught at school. If you think you are mature and do not wish to expand on your knowledge of a family then by your definiton, you are mature. Sharing your life with someone is not always easy and you are never guaranteed that things will work out. You have your plans and you obviously feel strongly about being alone.

Marriage and Kids have nothing to do with the maturing of an individual.
Maturation occurs when a person takes on more and more responsibility in their lives. I imagine that people associate "responsibility" with marriage and children.
Responsibilities exist in many more aspects of life.
People without children or spouses have only to be responsible for themselves..... their jobs, their bills, their own lives. Perhaps that's why some folks say that non married people aren't mature. (I believe that to be a falsehood)

That assumes that people who do get married and have children do mature. I'm sorry to say the world is full of immature married fathers and mothers.

I think it is a personal choice of what you want to do with your life and no person has the right to tell you that you are immature just because of your decision. You don't want to be married and you don't want to have children. So you take the steps in life to make what you want a reality. So then there are people who want to be married and have children so are they immature because they are doing the same thing as you in a sense which is taking steps in life to make what you want a reality? Seriously you know what you want and you are a mature person to know that and take the steps to get to your goals.

I don't think that's true. I was single up until my 30's and considered myself mature. The only difference now that I am married with kids is that I understand the responsiblity those types of comittments take. There are plenty of immature parents and spouses out there.
