Is it better to be single or married? Why?

Neither is "better". Both are perfectly ok. Nothing is wrong with either state in life. The only thing that would potentially make one state "better" than the other would be if the person is unhappy being in that state, for whatever reason - then the other state is "better", for that person.

imo..stay single atleast till u know when you are ready .single saves you money ,married makes u more broke.there is plenty of more reasons but i wont add anymore.just make sure you are ready and that you think that you will be with that person forever.

when your single its better to be married, when your married its better to be single lol

It all depends upon who you are married to. I'd rather be single and celibate the rest of my life than married to my ex. On the other hand, it was the person, not the institution, to which I objected.

As a single guy I'm favoring being married right now.

I think most married people would agree with me unless their marriage is on the rocks.

Neither. Both have there benefits and their downfalls, but it's completely situation.

While there are certainly advantages to being single, it's actually been shown to increase your life expectancy to be married. It's indeed true that the majority of marriages end in divorce, however, but many of those who divorice re-marry, and those keep.

Single, especially if your a man. That way you dont have to constantly worry about pleasing you picky wife or face going to the cleaners in divorce court. Most marrigaes end in divorce, so why go through all the financial pain that is marriage and divorce?

I think it all depends on the person and what stage of their life they are in. Some people enjoy being alone and having their own space and others like to enjoy life with a partner and start a family.

For me I am happily married and have the most beautiful daughter in the world. I wouldnt have it any other way.

It all seems so perfect. You've dated for months or even years. You've shared both the good times and the bad times. You've endured commitment. You love each other unconditionally. Marriage seems like the only logical next step right? After all, it was meant to be...
The next thing you know, you're a bitter, romantically deprived, sexless, emotional disaster. That ring on your finger feels like a garrote around your neck. You feel as though you've been herded into mental slavery. You think back to your wedding day and that walk down the isle doesn't seem so pristine anymore. In fact, it feels as though that walk was like that of a deathrow inmate on his way down the prison corridor for the last time. That's right. Your married and half the time you're wishing you were dead , the other half wishing it was your spouse. What happened to all the rhetoric about the everlasting bond and life-long joy of married life?

The greatest myth ever to deceive humanity is the myth of marriage. We've all been duped into believing that marriage is the end-all remedy to our loneliness; that tying the knot is a mandatory function we all must seek during our brief tenure on earth

Look at the marriage world around you. Divorce is at an all-time high and while the "experts" toil over the tedious statistics, trying to psycho-analyze and negotiate a solution to the crisis.

Well, it kind of depends if you have found 'the one'. To be honest, I think dating would be better than both, but that is just my opinion. Marriage scares the crap out of me, but being single can get lonely

I was single for 20 years and I have been married for 20 years. When I was single, I lived with my parents and my brother who drove me insane. My husband doesn't drive me nuts, so in my particular case, I think married is much better.

i'm young, only 17, but i think being married is better. it means you've found your on true someone, and that implies perfect union and happiness.

being single only means you haven't met your perfect match yet

Neither actually....

i'd rather be married than single

i am at the place now i can say single and mean it, but if i found the right man i would want to marry again the problem is finding a man that is up to my standards, funny they are not that high, i just want honest, loving, non abusive, and fun. sigh, but seems so hard to find.

I'd imagine marriage, but I've never been married, but single life is definitely not for me.

i say single, no hardships of break-ups

I enjoy being single

Both have advantages and disadvantages. But overall, I'll pick married.

the one we don't have.

The best thing is to married to a women who doesn't mind the girlfriend on the side.

Its nice having someone to share the moments and the time with, let alone the day to day chores.

It is also nice having someone who likes your for the adventure and the kinks.

Personally I much prefer to be single. Being married feels like being only half a person and having to justify my actions and answer to somebody just isn,t me. Which is why I am now divorced Lol.

single and loving it

I'm in a paperless marriage.

+5

Inbetween; dating!

Married

Single.

its better to be single when you are young and married when you are older.

Why....mmmmmm because its fun to be single and its fun to be young....lol, good reasoning i have huh?

i know many married men are after adultery so i think if u don't mind your husband preying on sweet young gals then go get married. single has all the freedom but u have to do everything by yourself. doesnt mean being married u don't have to do things by yourself. best is having a few boyfriends so romance still there, and loneliness don't kick in..so single with few boyfriends is best, don't let any boyfriend know thou

Married couples tend to be healthier and live longer.. its the same thing if you own a dog you live longer.. has to do with companionship, love and purpose

There are advantages to both....but married people do live longer....but single people have more fun!

whatever you feel happiest being.

I guess better is a relative term. I know unhappy single people and unhappy married people.
If you want someone to share your life with, pretty much 24/7, good times and bad, it's better for you to be married. There's no perfect scenario, the happiness you feel should come from within you.

Married- if you have the right person

Single- if you don't mind a little loneliness
everynow and then.

I guess that if you burn with passion, marriage is the best bet. Whatever you do, as a single person to satisfy and release your sexual energy is wrong according to God. However, it is permitted if married to another,only in a heterosexual relationship. There is a big difference between lonliness, solitude and being annoyed. Married people always have smiles on their faces when among family, like everything is perfect, the same for single people. The real question is, If you are content or empty inside? For me being single married people think I am a loner, when actually I date more girls than Geri has curls. Thinking philosophically about this life and the present time, is it really unnecessary to bring children into this world. People say, they want to get married and have children to extend the family name and legacy, this is B.S. Nobody knows who you are....your neighbor who lives three houses down from you on your block in your neighborhood, if asked, doesn't even know your last name or your house address. Thanks to Google there are thousands of people around the World with your last name and who are unrelated to you. The only exception is if you are rich and famous.

MARRIED.
It makes you step up to the plate for communication, caring, losing self-centeredness, that you have no incentive to lose as a single person.
Screw up, and there's goes your marriage. But, failure in 1 can lead to better 2nd, etc. IF you learn by previous mistakes.

I think it depends on the individual person.Marriage may not be for everyone.I've been married for 19 years.I married young(age 20).But I love marriage.I can't picture my life any other way.Marriage was definitely for me.But there is nothing wrong with remaining single.Only you know whether it is better for you to be married or to remain single.There is no hurry.Do what you feel is best for you and you can't go wrong.

It is better to be married if you both are in the word of Christ if not please don't marry because it will fail you both can't get along.

Married. It's nice to have someone to come home to every day.

the grass is always greener.i prefer being single i'm slightly self centered and uncaring most days.

That depends on the season of your marriage and your degree of happiness when you were single

define "better"...research shows that women are happier singe and men are happier married...but more single women with children live in poverty than married women with children do.

Married.... if it's to the right person.

Single but want to marry my beautiful Amy soon!

Neither.

Currently single.

married.

I think we move WAY too fast to to get married, so much in fact that we ignore things we shouldn't. If a person loves you they'll stay with you, ring or no ring.

There's a third option. In a relationship but not married. That may actually be the best option until you've been with each other long enough to know you're everything to each other and you want that for yourselves. Neither single nor married.
