No. "Mr." stands for "Mister" and applies to both married and unmarried males.

"Mrs." stands for "Mister's" meaning a married woman.

"Miss" is used for unmarried women.

"Ms." (stands for nothing) is used by women who choose for their marital status to go unnoticed, and therefore may be used by either married or unmarried women.

Mr. goes both ways, married and unmarried. Miss is for a young woman under 18 years old. Ms. is for a woman over 18 but not married and Mrs. means she is married.

"Mr." can be for either a single or married man, it doesn't matter. However "Mrs." is for married women only (in which case you would usually use their last name, like Mrs. Smith instead of Mrs. Mary). If you want a title to refer to an unmarried woman, that would be "Ms." A married woman _can_ be called "Ms." too though.

Mr - comes from the word Mister.
Mrs and Ms - come from the word mistress, although they have different meanings now.

Mr. means only that the person is a man. Mr. is used for married or unmarried.

Traditionally, Miss was used for unmarried women, Mrs. for married women, and Ms. was used if you are addressing to someone and don't know their marital status. Oftentimes divorced women still using their married surname would change from Mrs. Doe to Ms. Doe upon divorce. It's kind of a way of addressing a woman without reference to her marital status, I guess.

Mrs. is married, Miss means they're not, Ms. is generic, as is Mr. Confusing, huh? Mr. can be for single or married.

Mr. is the abbreviation for Master. Mr. is used by both single and married men.

Mrs. and Miss and Ms. are all abbreviations for Mistress. Mrs is used by married women, Miss is used traditionally by single women but more recently by minor girls, Ms came into use during the women's movement of the late 60's and early 70's and can be used by both married and single women--most women I know who use this are single or divorced (my mother was Mrs X until her divorce, then she started calling herself Ms X); the occasional upper management and business owner types I've met who use their married names usually use Ms or their maiden names with Ms.
