Lets hear from the forum.on this! - Page 2

Marriage is an over hyped concept! Here's my take...if you find someone who you think can be a value addition to your life...more than welcome to spend your life with him or her...within the institution of marriage or not!

If however, you don't end up finding that person...then I believe it is absolutely necessary to stay strong headed and not give in to pressures from family members about getting married.

Lastly, there are certain things in life we have no control over...what seems right today might seem completely wrong in the future. Therefore, regrets (married or not) are part and parcel of life.

And another thing...a person needs to be extremely independent (financially and emotionally) to live a fulfilling life without a partner. It isn't everybody's cup of tea.

The importance of anything really depends on your needs and capabilities. Some people cannot live all by themselves the whole life. There definitely comes a stage in life when your parents/siblings might not be around for n number of reasons. At that time you will be left all by yourself. Most of the people need some company/family to stay emotionally sound. You might be independent financially but Its not that easy to be 100% emotionally independent and secure especially in times of sorrow and sickness. That's why marriage is considered to be so important.

Interesting post!!

Marriage is not the be all and end all of everything and I speak from personal experience. It is a personal
choice to the extent you have the liberty to make that choice and then live with it, whether it is a choice to remain single or walk out of a bad marriage.

In India though unfortunately the yardstick for a "happy" "successful" and "complete" life is still to a large extent measured by whether a person is married or not (if not then reasons are deep-dived into, to the point of frustration) and I again speak from experience here

Nonetheless all things aside, as long you have personal contentment in life whether single or married is what matters coz only if you are happy yourself then are the persons around you as well

Marriage for me is an affordable adventure. Mistakes might happen but still its a beautiful institution which creates families. Families are the one who look behind for us even when they're busy paving their own path.

Being single is not something which is really affordable as one fine day we might find ourselves alone in this vast world when rest of the world is busy with their families.

Divorce would never be an option for me unless I find myself in a deep regret. Sacrificing and adjustments are a part of life which we do almost in every relationship.

Sorry to write this but its necessary as no one else did...

There are natural and hormonal changes happening in our bodies as we grow. All living beings tend to have some sexual desire in them. We humans being the intellectual ones created this institution called marriage to bind (physically and emotionally) us to a single person.
