there is nothing wrong with being single if that is your choice. there is also nothing wrong with being married, if you meet that special someone one day that you want to spend the rest of your life with.





its nice being single because you are only on your schedule with your life. and you are only accountable for you.





its nice also being married because of the intimacy of sharing your life with someone. hopefully this person will have your back and you have theirs.





its a personal decision. neither lifestyle is wrong.Can we spend our lifetime without getting married?
pros of being single- you can do what you want when you want, everything is where you last put it, Silence, not having to please anyone or entertain them


what I sometimes miss





pros of being married- you have a witness to the life you live, someone to hold on to you for dear life if you are struggling or having a bad day, knowing that you are the only person on earth that can fill this persons heart with a warm fuzzy feeling, sharing the bed with the person u love.


just to name a few

Life being married Pros


1.You have someone beside you who loves you who will protect you at all costs who will die for you need i say more.
I don't believe in marriage as an institution. I have two brothers, both gay, and live in Alabama. If they can't get married, I'm not going to do it either. That's just how I feel about it ( :





So do you mean you don't want to be legally tied to someone, or do you mean you don't want to spend your life with one person? They're different things. I think humans are drawn to each other in a sense. But if you don't feel that way, don't push it. It's perfectly fine, maybe not ';normal';, but perfectly fine to be your own person.





I would recommend finding something else to throw some energy in to. Learn to make cheese, or save up for a really awesome house. ( :
There's no point to marriage vs not if you want to stay together - some people even have a commitment ceremony without marriage.





Bear in mind most people get divorced and it's not the perfect fantasy of them taking are of you when you get old (a guy would most likely die before you...kids take care of you when you're old though).

life without marriage = take care of yourself.





life with marriage = take care of yourself.





I think you are misinterpreting marriage, just because you are married doesn't mean you become a dependent lazy person. You are still responsible for you and taking care of yourself, there is no guarantee you will be taken care of.
Just because you don't want to get married doesn't mean your going to be alone.I don't have pro and cons but I will say this. I believe everyone needs some to love regardless if you get married or not. If you find someone who you have balance with I think it will turn out fine.
it is highly recommended by the apostle Paul to remain a bachelor or unmarried so you are free from all this emotional disasters in life. read 1 Corinthians chapters 7-8 of the Holy Bible.
i think you could. :] . i mean, you can still have a boyfriend... or not.. .%26amp;. still have a great time, in life.
I think you'd have a better life without having all the retarded obligations that come with marriage.
Many people do it anyway. If you are not strong in a particular faith/religion - then do what you want.
sure, but you won't get any benefits when he dies.
