This type of question and answer will vary from culture to culture. But I personally think that it is entirely up to the individuals concerned. There is no best choice. If someone is happy and in love but wishes to remain unmarried then that is a good decision. If they wish to get married then that is also good. In this day and age it is entirely freedom of choice. Welcome to mylot and happy posting.

Yes, mummyofthree, I find your insights into this matter quite profound and very true.

i think they should get married. in my opinion because when you are married you can talk to your wife/husband when you feel like depress of some sort and play with your kids when you are ready to have some. being lonely will probably make you more depress.

im sorry for being pessimistic but marriage does not necessarily conquer depression. Sometimes it even makes people more depressed. They have more things to worry about like satisfying your husband or taking care of your children.

It is best to stay single if you can. Most get married though because they have fallen in love with a man/woman whom they find to be worth having a lifetime commitment with.

I think that everyone should get married in their life. During Twenties we will have our parents and relatives around us, but as we become older and older, everything will start moving away from us. We will start feeling alone. There is a saying: "Man searches another mother in the name of wife and woman searches her first kid in the name of husband".

It's a subjective decision indeed. A person has the choice to stay single or to get married. Whatever his/her preference is, he/she should be viable to any possible outcome it may bring. In my case, marriage is the sweetest thing one can offer to a lasting relationship. I would love to get into that. I would want to settle down with my partner and hope to live happily with her.

After what I went through with my marriage, I'd say "STAY SINGLE!" Relationship grows,commitment happens with or without the sanctity of marriage. If you are in a relationship, you can commit yourself freely and exclusively with that person without as much as a piece of paper that says you are. If for some reason, the relationship ends, then goodbye would be so much more easier and life moves on.
