Do you think there are people who can happily live as singles for their life?

Yes. I know some of them. Once you get to a certain age, it seems, you have your own way of doing things and begin to enjoy that freedom of not compromising.

it depends on how long and how well you know the other person . ask yourself these questions: are you willing to give up your total freedom as a single life? are you ready to be with just that one person for the rest of your life? do you really know this person? if you can say yes too all then make it special for her because romance is the winning yes

I think if you asked, "Are you single?" would give you your answer. :)

If you're asking whether societally people are still expected to find one person and marry them, then I would say that it applies less so than in the past, but marriage and a family is still what is generally expected by people. Certainly, people who choose not to marry are not as unusual as they once were, and it's more accepted to be unmarried. As proof, the words "Old Maid" and "Spinster" have virtually disappeared from the lexicon. \n\nIf you're asking if humans in general want to marry for life now like they used to, I do think the desire is still there, perhaps primally, in most people. As long as you find someone you truly love, it's natural to want to cement that person into your life with the convienient institution of marriage. I think fewer people just get married because they feel like they "have to" nowadays, however.

yes, if the two people are willing to work through hard times! there will always be ups and downs in a relationship, we need two people who are willing to work through it all.

Live life while you are single with the motto "if it feels good , do it"

I think that it all depends on the couple and their expectations. If that is truly her desire then, that is what she should do. It is hard in this economy to sustain a family on a single income.

I'm 41 single the past 7months and absolutely terrified of what life holds for me. I get your point about thinking single. Its not a "woman thing" or "man thing". I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone but I'm terrified of another relationship and going through it all again. Though my ex doesn't seem to have that problem. I was replaced after 2.5months. I don't think I know how to think single anymore and being a mum makes it harder because you cannot think of yourself. So yeah I know exactly what your saying.

Think of it this way.  There are good things you can enjoy only when your single.  On the other hand, there are some great things that you can only get when your married

I think that it is possible that a human being can spend their life without a partner, but it is not the normal thing to do because we evolved as social creatures.  I would not say that people are swayed or cave into peer pressure to partner, but that it is against our nature to be alone, and it is impossible to live from birth without some sort of partner because we are not born self-sufficient.  Most people who spend their lives alone do so because they have suffered some sort of trauma, or they have mental health issues.

Hi aziz! I think that it would be good to be married, but then sometimes it can bring you away from your beliefs in God! Some people remain single so that they can remain close to God forever and ever amen! So I'd prefer to remain single coz then I know I'd pay more attention to God!\nAs for the society, if they're true christians, I wouldn't really know because I've been to only ONE wedding in my life!

I have always believed there is a perfect soulmate for everyone.  However, I do think that there are often times that people do not realize this and completely overlook the person they are meant for.  So, some people go their entire lives not ever truly "finding" their perfect soulmate, even though they may have been right in their face the entire time.

I know there is--I married my high school sweetheart, and two kids and twenty years later, we're still crazy about each other.  We were unusually fortunate, though, in finding someone we were so compatible with at such a young age, and both of us being open-minded enough to allow the other to grow and change as we grew up together.  That doesn't mean, though, that I believe there is only one person who each of us could achieve relationship nirvana with, though.  I think it's a matter of finding someone you can really connect with, and then building a strong foundation rooted in trust, honesty, tolerance, and open communication.

Yes, I do...being a single person for 29 years made me think I was going to be a spinster...hehehe...until I met the man whom I know in my heart and soul is the answer to my prayers, most precious gift to me from the Lord. Also, he shares my passion in working with the kids and so, I couldn't ask for more than just giving us good health and lives that could make a difference in someone's lives too especially children in needs.

very dificult to answer. Some people spend their whole lives searching and never find a perfect partner.

It sounds to me like you are really enjoying your life and that your family is a very important part of that.  Do you really think that some man could fill the empty space that you would have without your family?  After all, family is forever and a relationship while hopefully forever isn't always.  I think you have a great life and that eventually you will find a soul mate without moving away if your just patient and keep trying.
