Which one is better, being married or being single. And why?

It all depends. One isn't necessarily better than the other.
There is nothing better than finding that one person who is a perfect fit. The one who is on the same as you in everyway, that sees things the same way, that you never get bored with or tired of. Being with that person is sheer bliss.
On the other hand, you should never marry just to have "someone." If that person isn't the right one, you'll wind up making each other miserable, and it's no fun extricating yourself from a bad marriage. Not to mention, if you rack up 2 or 3 failed marriages, people will start wondering what's wrong with you, that you can't keep one!
My best advice, date until you think you might have the right one, then date her (or him) a lot longer. When you're sure, you might move in together on a trial basis (living together is a lot different than dating), unless you have religious or other objections to that, of course. Give it plenty of time before taking that walk down the aisle. If it's going to fail, let it fail before it gets that far.
Be fearless! Lots of people rush into marriage so the other person doesn't "get away." If they get away, they weren't the right one! The right one isn't going to go any where.
Above all, be patient! I do believe there is someone for everyone, but you just have to wait. When the time is right, that person will come into your life, usually in a most unexpected way! Until then, just enjoy your life as it is. A partner should enhance your life, not be your life. Good luck!

Both has benefits. Being married, you have constant companionship, and for people that like to be with someone else, it's good. Being single, you are alone, yet free and able to do the things that you want to do whenever you so choose. And, also able to go out with different people, and not have to stick with just one person. Sometimes I wish I weren't married... but that's only because my hubby is an a--hole alot, and it drives me crazy!! Good luck!

having been both at this point, i'd say married is better, but only if you truely make each other happy. if you are unhappyily married, than being single is the best. same as far as relationships.

I love being married. We are making all of our dreams come true and I have my best friend with me all the time. Being single was really fun and carefree, but now I get to do all the things I enjoy with someone who loves me.

being married
it is the sense of feeling loved and together with someone.
i have never been happy alone and at times not happy going out with someone but married...ahhhhh its bliss.
I feel safe, secure, desired, wanted, needed, loved and part of a team.
When you are married there is more than just you to consider, you cant just up and do whatever, not that i need permission but its nice making decisions together.
Having someone to wake up to, someone to talk to whenever, someone to share all your moments good or bad.
I love being married and I have been for 8 years now and I am probably more happy now than I ever have been.

Married to the right person is better.
If you cannot find someone with whom you want to spend a lifetime, stay single and on good terms with your family while cultivating good friends.
The hardest part of singledom as you age is loneliness; make provision not to be lonely. Depending on your circumstances, one provision might be to adopt children. They can be a pain while they're growing up, but they are certainly a comfort once they're grown.

well I've never been married ... came really ..really close once but it wasn't meant to be I guess .. but bein' in a serious long term relationship is kinda like bein' married dontcha think? lol bein' single can be fun ... but can get lonely at times tho .. and I don't like bein' lonely to well. so I'd haveta say bein' married to the right person in a lovin' relationship would be just dandy with me! ; )

none having some one like dating but not being married, because if things dont work you can both just go your seperate ways and move on but being lonely isnt fun && committing yourself for the rest of your life isnt that easy either

i've been married and i've been single, each has its own good points as well as bad points...
i liked having my own way while single, doing what i liked and not having to consult someone...
i like having someone there for me while married...
it's all good!
