Anyone here decide they never want to marry?

Getting married is such a challenging decision. One should be more than 100% prepared before entering this stage. Well, we there are a lot of callings. We belong to different ones. God has put us in a way that we will be happy with it. According to Aesops, we differ all is well and wisely put. Everything has peace and order after all. We are placed in certain lives we should be accountable for. Let's enjoy life and thank God for all the blessings. I have a friend who doesn't want to get married. He just wants to stay single. As a friend, I support him fully. He doesn't have any regrets about it. He's enjoying his life. Kudos.

You seem to have reality hit you hard that relationship with a guy seems to have not much spark. I still believe you can get to a good relationship. I know it is hard to share new life with a person but this should be carefully thought out. If the foundations of a relationship are not that strong, you may end up hating each other more than before. It is much enjoyable to share this with a man who you know can feel your needs, not the imposible ones to reach. Relationships are a beautiful thing. I hope you can find to enjoy it romantically. And Hey! A smile is a real turn on. 8-)

I have. I never want to get married, and I doubt that I will ever have children.

To me marriage is just a piece of paper. I have lived with my hubby for 15 years without the paper and things are just fine. We do everything a married couple does and share our finances. What is mine is his and visa versa. I am not religious so I don't have that pressure. We are together because we want to be. I have never thought it was important to get a piece of paper.

I often think of this. As of now, I don't, I mean, I want to do some other things rather than having a wife, kids... etc... I can't take that great responsibility yet. I want to go school... study well, then, get a job and help my family. I'm just 21, most of my friends say that I am just too young and I agree with them. For me, there are a lot of things to consider about getting ready for marriage. To answer to question. I am the one here. :) ~mar

I don't think I will proably ever get married just because I've never been able to find a guy who I love enough and trustworthy enough.

Well, I believe in love. When I was a child I also said that I don't want to marry. That's because I didn't know what it's like to fall in love back then. After all, what do kids know about being in love? Now I want to get married, but I'll be okay if I don't.

i once decided to not get married. when i was younger, i planned my life. i planned it as not being married and would just adopt a child or maybe have an AI, just to experience being pregnant. i was so scared of being left alone by my partner -i get married -, especially now that divorce and annulment is so easy to do. i was so scared of having a a future broken marriage. But then, ironically though i am not yet married. i have plans and am thinking of being married with my current bf. Although, he haven't asked me to marry him. but i can see myself being married and having to take care of my children and be able to put up a good family.

Not me. I remember back when I was really young (maybe around 5-7 years old) I use to say that I would never want to marry and want to live with my parents forever. Now things are different and I would love to get married and have a family and such (not that there is anything wrong with my parents for that matter).

Hi dreamy! You may wanna think a few things here. First, being hung up on your ex is a bad idea. I know you might say that you can't help it but the fact is you can. Forget about him. If you need to take a sabbatical from relationships to clear your mind, then do so. It's never wise to hold on to your past. It keeps you from going forward. Second, it is true that one of the implied reasons for signing a marriage contract has a lot to do with money and property. However, let's all tread carefully here. It's best to find someone who will complement and help you improve as a person. His views on money, more than how much money he has, are important. You could marry a rich man, but if the two of you don't agree on how to handle, spend, save, and grow that dough, you'll end up in divorce anyway. Finally, yes love is not the only thing to consider when marrying someone. In fact, there are a thousand other things. Views on values on issues such as Family and children, religion, spirituality or morality, politics, social tolerance, work ethics, etc. are some of these. As for me, I say never say never (to marriage). I don't think about it everyday. I'm not one of those women who fantasize about their future weddings and husband to the last detail. I say, I'll know when the right time and the right man comes along.

Marriage means different things to different people. I'm not sure it means the same as it did when my parents got married. It seems it's just a piece of paper now. If it means love to the people getting married, that's wonderful. But it's according to what it means to the people who are getting married. No one should ever get married if they aren't sure. Only because of the laws behind it. Society forces laws behind marriages for the same reason people believe they have to get married.

i always think i needn't marry.because i need freedom,i don't want to be tied with anyone else.
