so many divorce cases nowadays.
how sure are you that this long term companionship can make your life happy.
there is no such thing as one is better than the other. both has it's merits but I think being single has a slighter advantage.

What if the partner or spouse die before the person ? back to square one. no difference.

if a poll is done, staying single will still get the higher number of votes.

it has been said again. it will be said once more. more and more people are choosing to remain single. nowadays difficult to find wife material. why suffer by getting married. life is already stressful enough, why add another level of stress.
