I think I am not ready for a commitment now my friend. I prefer to be single (though I have a girlfriend) at least I haven't committed yet to her for a lifetime. That's one thing that I am working out now, and asking for God's grace that I would be able to conquer my fear to take responsibilities. The only thing that hinders me to commit in marriage is the thought of having greater responsibilities of being a man in the family. I still have to work on my esteem to carry out a husband's role in a family. So for now, I still stay single for my marital status. THanks! :D

I agree with your opinion. I, myself as well have a boyfriend. It's better to have a stable relationship first before committing your whole self to the partner you chose. So for me have fun in life. make the most of it in being single but of course if you have a bf/gf you have to be loyal to them right.

i guess it would be okay to get married when financially stable and when i already find that special someone that im quite sure of. i don't want to burden my parents with the financial responsibilities like what most of the youth today do today.

As per my view singal and marriade are both important stage of any one's life...when you are single then you have a freedom to something with your life.and after marriade you should with your partner,that's a life where you can do anything with your partner.........am i right????

single would always be good in the sense that you get to do a lot of things that you want to do...on the other hand, being married is also good because you've got to be with someone who can help you to work on certain things in life. in terms of responsibility, yes, marriage speaks a lot regarding responsibility. but you see it's a team's work so the both of you needs to work it out together.

I will never understand the point or purpose of the "married vs single" stereotypes.
Being single doesn't mean you don't have any responsibilities, you still have to work and care for yourself. If you're in an unmarried relationship, you still have the other person's feelings and time to consider. Single life isn't always all about you.
Being married doesn't mean being automatically burdened with excess responsibilities. It doesn't take away your freedoms nor mean that you can't spend time with your own friends or family. It doesn't mean that you become attached at the hip to your partner and will never be your own person again. You are still an individual and your thoughts and feelings still matter just the same as they did.
Furthermore, neither is "better" than the other. They don't detract from one another, they are simply different.

I would have to say Married. I say this for the main fact I honestly dont know what it's really like to be single. I have been with my husband since I was 14! I am now 25, married for 5 years and have 3 daughters and a stepson. I cant remember not being with him so it's hard to say if being single would be better. I think being single could be managable, it would just be extreamly hard if my husband and I got a divorce. The thought of bouncing the kids between homes and the money issue would be just way to much for me. Being single would bring on more responsibility and problems into my life.

I've been a married woman for six and a half years and I spent about the first six and a half years of my adult life as a single woman. That said, I really prefer being a married woman over being a single woman. The main reason that I feel this way is because of the fact that when you are married you are never really alone. I love having someone that I can talk to that will help me to make heavy decisions. I also like being able to fall asleep at night in the arms of my best friend.

I can't answer from the perspective of a person who has been married because i have never been married, I'm still way too young for it. But i can answer from the perspective of a single person with unlimited freedom.
I really enjoy being free, first of all because there aren't really any responsibilities, but i do think that the feeling of responsibility will come by itself when the time is right. As much as I've had the chance to observe the marriage of some people in my surrounding I'm not too optimistic about it, i think that people get sick and bored of each other after being married for a while (there may be exceptions). I also don't support people who get married too young, because in most cases this leads to problems in the marriage in the later future( there may be exceptions again). Anyway i don't think I'll get into something as serious as marriage until I'm like 27+ ( at least i hope not to) because i don't want to be bound to someone while I'm still too young.

Its nice to be single and enjoy the time with your friends and families for a time. However there will come a time that you would like to have your own family as well.What i can advise to you is just enjoy being single and once you know you're ready to take another step in your life, then you can get married. Being single and married are two wonderful experiences that we should both enjoy.

Married is much better than Single because you can got lots of knowledge about your after married life's responsibility.

There is no better status, they are different phases in life and each one is good to live, with their adventages and disventages each.
Being single is good because of the freedom you have, to go anywhere you want, with whoever you want and no compromises.
Being married is a different thing. You have your beloved with you everytime, who takes care and helps you. Of course, you must take the responsability of a serious relationship, more than a simple boyfriend.
