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!

All of the above honey.  Marriage and a relationship while married is a complex paradox of fun and pain and love and anger and joy and sadness.  In a good marriage the good things far outweigh the bad things, but marriage is work and sometimes (most of the time) not easy work.

An average looker, I would rather have kids around the house, then have someone who isn't really into a relationship. \n\nI don't like to wait, and I like a guy that I can hit it off with. \n\nxoxo\nMaddi

being single isn`t all that bad.When in doubt, hold up your right hand and renew your vows; TO MY WIFE FOR LIFE!   My hand never bitches,bleeds,has a headache,gets knocked up, or cheats on me. THIS IS GOOD

I'm married and I don't envy single people. I don't pity them either, but my relationship is right for me. The people that envy others either do not appreciate what they have or cannot confront their own happiness to make a change.

I prefer both!!! Love first and then respect... They are both important to me.... My husband loves me very much and treats me with respect and i do the same for him... This is the way it is supposed to be in marriage!

the difference between dating and marriage is that \n1. Marriage is a committment for life.\n2. Marriage is all in papers like it or not.\n3. And if you get a dirvorce, you have to go to court, and if you have a kid you have to get some kind of paper to have your kid with you.\n4. Dating is also a committment, BUT is to yourself, NOT for life.\n5. Dating if you break/broke up you can just talk to each other and decide NO PAPERS INVOLVE!!!.\n     LAST IS THAT BOTH " IF YOU CHEAT, YOU WILL BE SORRY!!!.

I AM better off being alone. Until things change in my life, that is the way I prefer it to stay. Not cynical, just the plain truth.

I was very opposed to the idea of marriage for a long time.  But I'm now on my second marriage!  For one thing, a marriage is public statement of your relationship.  Its also a very official statement of commitment to each other.  For me, i was surprised that i actually felt more secure and serious about the relationships after I married.  People treat you differently, and many people just are more comfortable with married couples than living together couples.  Sure, marriage doesn't guarantee a forever relationship, but it makes the relationship 'official', both to the couple and the people around them.\n\nOf course, it also gives you legal rights.  For the most part, only married couples can share health insurance, have rights when the other is incapacitated, get alimony, adopt a child together.

Marriage is awesome. It feels great to have someone that you can depend on and know is there.

Being single has its own blessings.  It also comes with curses.  Same with marriage.  People aren't really meant to be alone, but sometimes it's better.  I know for a fact it's better to be single than be with the wrong one.  If you find the right one, well. . .that would be a major blessing.  \n\nYes, you should be content being single.  If you struggle against it you could end up in a horrid relationship.  Just be patient and content.

You would think you should start meeting people and getting ready.  Have faith, and don't be afraid to fall in love.  God's waiting for you both at the bottom.  You're joining together as one, working as one, creating as one a life, and a future that chances are, might hold a family.  It's perfectly okay to be married, as it is perfectly okay to be single.  God's timing is perfect, and His will is also.

think it depends. single men both with and without gfs seem to desire it. married men are less demanding. they are occupied with other priorities like job, etc.

I think because of the ambiguous boundaries in a relationship--relative to a marriage's--it is not as constraining as the latter and can actually help foster the relationship. I'd prefer to be in a relationship than a marriage.

There are people who like solitude meaning never needing someone around but then there are those who want that companionship.  Also as human beings we are sexual and a way of not feeling guilty about it is being MARRIED.  I'm not saying people get married because of that but it makes sex legal.  I've always wanted someone to love me unconditionally but even still I haven't found it.  I don't want to be alone, I want someone to grow old with.  Your spouse in most cases are your best friend and would do more for you than the one you already have.
