No, I'd feel happy as an adult if I had a college education and a decent job and still be single at the same time.

ok i'm agree with you but, you must consider to get married becouse your life is not complete if you don't have children..

buri2_jaemon - Wow you're very short sighted aren't you? Having children is a choice - if someone chooses to stay single their entire life & chooses NOT to have children, it doesn't mean they're incomplete it means they had no urge to have children so i think you need to reconsider your thoughts, life can be very fulfilling without marriage & children.

Oh & just quickly, some people get married & both the husband & wife decide they don't want children, it doesn't make them any less complete coz their life is alreadt the way they want it - so it's complete to them.

I've been single for a long time and I feel that I want to end that phase of my life already. At this point of my life I want to settle down and have kids so I think being married will make me feel complete.

Yeah I think so. Without my wife, I would be lonely. Without my wife I feel missing something. So marriage makes me more perfect.

Marriage is not for everyone. However, as it is a very personal choice, then I wish you luck in finding that very special person in your life whom you would be spending the rest of your life. If one is indeed destined for marriage, then it is true that it completes a person. But not in the sense that a person is just half a person before marriage. We are already complete in the sense that as human beings, we already possess, even only as a potential force, the capacity to chart our own lives. Others are there only to assist us, guide us and even provide sustenance to us in order to complete our life journey. However, when we say that our marriage partner completes us, we mean that the presence of that person is the fulfillment of a dream, a dream to have someone to share with ourselves. Loving is sharing, and having a wife/husband, is the most intense and most fulfilling expression of this loving. A life partner fills up this intense need to love and be loved. And this is where he/she is said to complete us.

For me? Yes of course, but i think it really depends on other people. There are so many types of people with different attitudes so i cannot really say!=)

It's kinda ideal to be complete as a person BEFORE you get married, that way you're better at contributing, compromising which it does take and you're better able to weather the troubles which come along during such a relationship.

Yes, i feel I am fully complete when I settled down my own family.., got kids and its a different state of life of which you really have to function all your roles in life. That makes me complete and it seems that its a common life that almost everyone dreamed of. Relevant to this, it is always good to ask yourself what do you really want to do in life. It is of either you're happy or not with that one you're pursuing into. When you feel good in that road you're heading, then go straight.

I think it really depends on the person. Some people really want to get married, and if they don't get married they feel like a piece of the puzzle is missing. Others are perfectly content without being married, so it really depends on what the person truly desires in their life.

no, being married does not make me complete yet though my partner complement what i don't have. i think it is not the main reason for my marriage. i got married to have someone help me be complete. marriage prepares me to be a wife and mother to a family that i have been wanting to have. this family will complete me as a person.

All the advise you give to people about their children, i already assumed you had kids! My partner & i are very happy the way things are, we have a gorgeous baby girl & i think everything is great, marriage is just something you can choose to do if you want to. I think my life is very complete & will be mor so when we are lucky enough to have a child but i don't think the completeness will change whether we decide to get married or not.

I think being a married person is a blessing in one's life. And it relly is. I am just concerned of your partner to be. I hope he really loves you and accepts all the flaws you have. You must also try to understand your partner. During the first years of marriage, there is a time where in you'll both be having adjustments. Having stupid arguements such as where to put the wall clock! ha ha. It's funny but, this is the adjustment period for both married people. Just be patient. It's only a challenge for you guys to love each other and know each other well. Good Luck and More blessings!

in some cases mariage can complete you as a person. but for many they already feel like they are complete. it just depends on the people and their situation. Everyone had different needs,and we must all respect that.

yup. people have different preferences in life and have reasons for their acts. i have aunts and uncles who chose to be single for the rest of their lives and they are happy and satisfied to where and how they are now. it depends i guess.

I disagree. Marriage is where two complete people join through vows and create a successful relationship. If you do not feel complete as a person you can not have a beautiful realtionship that can last you for life time. Only when You are complete ion yourself then you can give best to your kids and husband. Think about it.

No, dear there is no guarantee that marriage makes us a complete man. No doubt you get to learn many experiences of life, which you can never learn if you remain unmarried. To live with a spouse... bring up children is one of the most important experience in one's life. But I think... life is about learning... everyday you learn... till you leave this world....so atleast I feel.... that I have yet to achieve that completness.

No I don't think that it complete's you in any way. However I think that when you find the right person they kind of balance you. If ya get what I mean.

That is a true statement. My spouse compliments me and I compliment her. with that now we are complete. As a person I have also feel that I have achieved one more milestone in life when I got married. Therefore, in a way, I have completed one of the many tasks in life.

I don't think getty married will make me complete as a person. For me, I believe I have to be independent enough to achieve our own self-goal before setting up a family. I have to take care of my family, my old grandparent and financially helping my sibling in their college tuition fees. After being a good member in my own family, then only start thinking about creating another family with my soulmate and play an important role in it.
