Can we lead life without marriage?

Marriage is not for everyone— many people lead deeply satisfying lives without ever marrying. However, I do know this: Lifelong love and romance in marriage are possible, and a lifelong string of relatively brief cocaine-rush relationships is not likely to result in satisfaction or positive well-being.

Why you should stay single forever?

Being single is a sign that you’re good at being alone, and there aren’t many people in this big world that can say that about themselves. It’s not about being alone, it’s also knowing how much you have to give to another human being, because being in a relationship does mean that you have to compromise some things.

Do never-married singles have a better social life?

A recent study found that never-married singles were more likely to have active social lives than married couples, as well as a greater tendency to offer help to friends, family and their communities.

Is it possible to remain unmarried without marriage?

The desire to remain unmarried is something that, unfortunately, would never have been possible if the benefit of marriage itself hadn’t evolved over the years.

How does marriage compare to life without being married?

Like others have noted, without having been married it isn’t really possible to compare and contrast it. I’m heading in to my mid-30s and have never been married and haven’t been in any serious romantic relationships for at least 5yrs or more.

What happens to your social life when you get married?

Once all of your friends marry and have children of their own you find they restructure their social life around befriending a network of other couples who can be trusted to watch their kids, or share in after curricular carpool duties… all stuff a single man can’t really relate to or credibly help out with.
