I have been single forever! I will no doubt remain that way, and that is fine. I have accepted that this is the life I was meant to live. I've never really wanted it any other way. I did try and conform when I was younger but realised that I wasn't happy in a relationship and felt too claustrophobic. Some people are meant to find that special someone and others aren't. I am a very loving, giving, friendly and compassionate person and I am complete as I am! Make your own happiness and don't rely on other people to supply it!

I would feel sad if I had to remain single for the rest of my life. It seems to be quite lonely. And nobody can share with me no matter in my good or bad days. And when I am ill, nobody will take care of me. I have to depend on myself and learn to be strong. Life is already not easy, and being single is much more difficult, too. I love China

i think this is a personal decition to be single or not, anyway sometimes is not worth it to get married, now a days we can see many single mothers who struggle every single day, and one more thing i dont think God would like you to be single forever its sad to be alone so i dont think its god decition, is more of your to remain single or get married of course with the right one.

I wouldn't mind being single for the rest of my life. That way I only have to worry about myself, gives less stress on my mind. Less responsibilities, less liabilities. Loneliness won't be too much of a problem as long as you put your interest in something else.

I don't know what God wants for me but of course if I had the choice, I would choose to have a partner. I would like to have my own family in the future.

i can't allow it. that's why i married that soon, right after a year from graduation. it's my dream of having my own family and i was fulfilling it the earlier time.when i reach 30 i already had my grade 3 kid and i am happy about it. before, i always envy everyone else at the table has someone in their life who they’re excited and optimistic about. Everyone else has something “real”.so i decided not to be alone the next time. for those who seem to be planning to be alone, you know you can’t go on this way forever. Something has to change.that's to find real love and be loved.

I won't accept it to remain single for the rest of my life though I did not get married as early as the majority of my classmates and friends. I think that it is a better life to be married than to be single though we do not enjoy as much freedom or personal space as the days when we are single. I find more pleasure to be married. With a family to take care of, I feel more fulfilled and take more responsibilities for a married life. Thank you for your nice discussion, carabright. Have fun.

It is your choice and it's you who will determine your own destiny. It's all about deciding what you really want, It's still you and God is our guide in deciding what we really want, that's why He gave us freewill. It's not too late for you to get married or to be open to other people. I'm also single and sometimes I regret not being open to my real feelings to someone I really care & special but that's what I chose and I hope someday I will be ready and the one for me will be ready too.. :) hehehe... Live Life... Be Happy.

It's nice to make a decision to every events in our life. I believe single life is a call and have the freedom to choose or to reject it. I am a single not by chance but by choice. And God would bless us as we journey this life for we don't know what hold tomorrow, but we know who holds our hand.

Most of the people that I know (including me) are married. The single ones are usually divorced and want nothing more to do with another spouse..sad but with the divorce rate so high, it's not unusual. I can't imagine being single my entire life, I would miss raising children and all the experiences that go with that. I suppose if one were very career oriented they might like being single and I perhaps they would socialize with other singles. Maybe some single people will share with us.

Why would God want me to be single in the first place?Will ME remaining single do this world any benefit?If no,I don't see any point in doing that.

i believe that a person who has a gift of celibacy or singleness will be happy to accept this in his or her life.
