ummm yes i do believe being single can b better for some

Well, I've been single all my life and I"ve never been married.

And while I do like solitude, and I use my time for personal growth, there are days I would like to have someone there who I know cares for me. A small part of me is still waiting for Prince Charming to sweep me off my feet and we both run into our happily ever after.

But one should never rush into marriage because they're desperate to settle down or because they can't handle life alone. Marriage is a big commitment between two people, where they come together to love, nurture and care for each other for the rest of their days. To produce and raise children, and help shoulder the burdens of life together. My grandmother says that marriage is like two pillars holding up the roof of a building. Both columns have to be strong and stable on their own before they can stand together.

That said, I can honestly say right now, my single life is pretty good. I'm in grad school, and working on my future, and I feel like I'm making a difference.

And never give on finding your man. My mom didn't meet my dad till she was 31...and didn't have me till she was 36. She was a career woman and so her life was busy busy...but she managed to get all the happiness and fullfillment that married life has to offer.

Cheer up, kid. Your time will come.

Your grandmother is wise as fuck!

If couples were required to understand this concept before marrying, the divorce rate would look a hell of a lot different.

Wow, your grandma's saying is so true. It's one of the reasons why I stopped dating guys who were the type to give excuses about why they hadn't accomplished more or who seemed to lack motivation. There's a guy at my church who I'm pretty sure is into me but he seems to lack solid faith. In fact, when he started his music gig at the church, the pastor got up and told the congregation that the new musician dude is pretty skeptical about religion but enjoys music, etc. I was like, "oh hell no, LOL!" I want someone who really loves God, not just gets a check because they tinker around on the guitar for a few minutes on Sundays...
