Would you rather be Married or would you rather be Single?

I'd rather be single, but right now I need my spouse to stick around a little longer, till I can get some stuff situated.

oh why is that? i got married last May. and i am very happy.. :-)

I am proudly single, I have never really believed in the piece of paper that says you are married, most times I am glad and very happy to be single, free to do and go where I want, the only time I sometimes I wish I was married is when things go wrong, I think it would be nice to have a strong man around, luckily I have a strong supporting group of friends...

I have been married for 19 years. There have been times I wished I was still single, able to do just as I please when I please. But I know that if something happened to my husband I would miss him very much. We have lots of grandchildren now and it is so much fun to watch him with them, he is great with kids! We like to go camping and share some other interests, but we also have our own interests. If your husband is the type to just want to stay home, just find some of your own interests to indulge in, maybe do some volunteer work or join a group that shares a hobby or other interest you have, or learn a new skill. Maybe you could plan a romantic dinner at home for him once in a while, if you can get him away from the TV!

there are sometimes that i would rather be single than to have to deal with every one elses moods or whims, sometimes it is much easier just to be on your own and worry about you than every one else, its much less complicated.

Well Now I would rather be single. Because I dont make that much money I can barely support myself and it would be pretty hard to support my wife also on a $6.66 per hour job. But once I get more money enough to support me and my wife then I would love to get married. I dont want to be one of those familys that struggle everyday to keep up with the house and put food on the table. I want to be well off and have a good life and make my wife as happy as possible.

hmm . im single at the moment .. n im enjoyin it upto the hilt :D .. but yeah . i would like to get married someday ... but not in a near future thou .. lets see . after 7 or 8 yrs :D ...well .. ill add to this post after 3 or 4 yrs of my marriage n tell u. whether i m happy or regretting ma decision . until then .. cya tc :D :D :D

hi marcia, i am 62 and my wife is 70 and we have been married 31 yrs .we usually do every thing together, shopping , grocery shopping garage sales. i do go fishing without her. or down to my buddys.i spend a lot of time working in my garage workshop.she has her things she likes to do in the house. i do have to say it took being married 3 times to get the right one.

Yes, I do plan on getting married someday. I think marriage is a great thing, and I can't wait to share my life with someone. And have that kind of commitment to another person! Maybe you could try talking to your husband. Tell him you would like to go out more, with him. Maybe get him to take you to a restraunt you both like, and you can have a nice long happy conversation! :)

We celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary with my hubby this month. I find comfort with my hubby thus marriage is my choice, especially that I have 4 talented children, like their parents, lol, so marriage is an enjoyable state of life, for me.

I am not married, but I have been in a committed relationship for 8 years. My "significant other" also doesn't like to do much other than watch TV and sleep when he is not working. It gets monotonous. I on the other hand like to do things. I leave him at home. I take the kids to the library, or to the park. If I want to go out- I go. We have a good home life together but you have to have a life outside of the relationship too. I don't know how many people this kind of relationship would work for but it's OK with me:) Hope this helps.

i plan to marry at age of 25.hehe.

The grass is very often greener! The singletons would like to be luvved up, and the couples would like to be free and single. There's pro's and con's to both, make the best of whichever you have at the time!!

I have been in both situations, married and now single. I lived with my partner for 4 years before we got married. Living together was great for the most part. We had our ups and downs but we managed to get through the bad times. Then when we hit the 4 year mark we wanted to show our commitment to each other and have a family so we got married. Unfortunately shortly after we got married it was like someone flipped a switch and the relationship changed. We made the mistake of not discussing with each other what was expected of us in our new roles as husband and wife and assumed that everything would carry on as normal once we had that bit of paper and rings, plus we had added stress when we were told we were infertile but thats another story! Anyway, i have been happy being single for 4 years now. Ive been able to do what i want when i want, make my own decisions, make a mess in the house if i like without anyone moaning about it etc! But, im now starting to crave being married again (not to him though!). As much as i love my freedom, it comes at a price because you dont have that closeness with someone. You miss the shared responsibility of silly things like if there's an electrical or plumbing problem he will probably sort it out, sharing the bills, sharing the driving, sharing a bed, sharing your day. You can get this from friends and family to an extent but they cannot be as on-hand as a husband. It sounds to me like you need to reconnect with your husband Marcia. Try having a date night once a week and having some time together with the tv switched off and just simply look into each others eyes and hold hands. It might sound silly but looking into each others eyes and physical contact will be the way it all started so its worth revisiting! Always remember the grass only seems greener on the other side. There will always be things that you will miss whatever situation you are in. Its usually better to make the best of what you have. Good luck. x

Well the idea of marriage is a nobel one, if you as couples see the possibility of living together in love and understanding, knowing you will even quarrel one day but still be friends the next day, knowing that you can tolerate each other's weakness without sacrificing the love between, if you see eye to eye on the above issues then it could be a good idea to be married. If however, you see non of the above in sight, then you better stay single because marriage is gona reap your heart off! Note that marriage is a very hazardous business of relationship.

Hey Marcia.Im single by choice because I keep running into the wrong men.If the Lord blesses me with Mr.Right then thats fine and I think I would love to marry him.

We have been married over 6 years now. Hubby oes to band practice twice a week. At times I wish I could go back. In the States I had a good job, a car, family and friends. I more or less did what I wanted to. I was always out on the trails with my Alaskan Husky. I miss the convenient lifestlye. Here, I don't drive, have no car and I am more or less stuck within a 5 mile radius (within walking distance). Things would be different if we lived in the States instead. Hubby usually falls asleep by 9pm. The weekends are a bit different as he likes to walk/hike. I like it as well as long as it is not raining. We stay in alot due to finances. Does your hubby have any hobbies? Drag him out of the house for a long walk on the beach or something.

I would rather be married than to stay single. I have been a lot of trouble with my ex husband but I know how much it feels good to have someone who will stay beside you... someone you love and loves you in return, someone whom you will start a new life with...someone whom you will start a family with.

I do plan on getting married and would like to eventually start a family. Once I can get everything situated in the finance department, it'll hopefully work out and won't have to cause any worries. That's the one I don't want to do. I'm right now single at times I'd like to have a woman by my side.

I've been married for nearly a year, and things haven't been exactly plain sailing. I love my husband to bits but sometimes I really miss being single and having a laugh with all of my single friends. I've found I can't do all the same things now that I'm married, it's less acceptable. Sometimes I feel suffocated. Although I wouldn't change my position for the world, despite our ups and downs, I often wonder what my life would be like. I guess this world is full of what if's, I try not to dwell on them too much!
