When I was younger I had this plan that by the time I was 30 I would be married and have children. Well life didn't turn out that way and currently I am a happily single and have no intentions of getting married.
What I have learned over the years is that despite liking certain aspects of being in a relationship with someone I prefer my own company, the freedom to make up my own mind, the need not to have to compromise to align myself with a partner. Now all of these things may make me sound selfish, but I am far from it. I have learned over time that some people, myself included, are not suited to being in a relationship especially one which includes marriage. Just because it has always been seen as the norm to get married does not mean it is for everyone and being in a marriage just because it is expected is the worst thing I could do, knowing that I wouldn't be happy.
Of course at some point in the future my feelings may change, we cannot foresee the future. But going on my current feelings and the satisfaction I get from a solitary life I would have to say that I won't get married.

I agree with you with some parts of that, i definatly do not want to get married right now, but maybe a some point in the future. I just got out of a bad relationship and right now i am enjoying having some freedom! If i was to ever get married i would still need a certain level of freedom. I think you have to want to get married otherwise you will just be unhappy, you certainly shouldnt rush into anything! Take time and think about whether you really want it

I really want to have kids, and in many ways i would like to get married. I dont think "I do not want to get married" but at the same time its not majorly important to me, if the right person came a long and asked me i would say yes. My sister on the other hand, really doesnt want to get married! She is totally against it, and says she wont have kids, although i think she does want them deep down and she would be a great mother.

I really hope I will get happily married. But if I am happy - and I don't get married, that will be good as well. Getting married is not the only way to happiness. If my 'the one' does not want to get married - we just will not get married. It is all about doing what comes naturally.
