I am not putting a vote in either side of the coin.

I wish I had chosen better in marriage, and I do appreciate the children I have had as a result of being married. I have grown wiser for it.

I remember being young, and single and really lonely. As though, I didn't have a purpose in life.

I have children, they bring a certain dynamic to life, that I never imagined possible.

Because of the marriage, I had been involved in, I really had to grow and mature and learn much about myself, my past and how my past shaped my circumstances in such a marriage and resolve issues about myself, that, I didn't realize needed resolving. As in, there is a difference between intellectually knowing some things and emotionally knowing them.

Is it nice, to have a companion? Yes! Without a doubt. Is it nice to not have to answer to someone, for choosing a certain curtain style or why you bought the jeans that you bought? Yes! With each side of the marriage/single side of life comes benefits and negatives.

If you are itching to marry, perhaps find yourself involved in interests and hobbies that you enjoy, to ensure your chances of meeting someone else that is like minded.

Best of Luck, finding someone to enjoy life with. Because when you meet them, you may not view this question, quite the same way
