Is marriage necessary?

Necessary? It's vital, crucial. One can not think to actually have a life, unless one is married. Not being married is almost the same as not being born. Life has no meaning or value whatsoever if one's not married.

From your experience, do you think your life is better/worse after marriage?

What life? Unless you're married you don't have a life. It is only when we get married when we begin to live. Until that time we merely vegetate, wandering around in the dark like a deaf and blind infant. Once we are married life becomes good. All of our problems will disappear and all will be good.

And most importantly, how do I choose the right person?

Now here's a tricky one. How does a blind person see the road? I wouldn't be bothered about this. Don't break your head on questions and doubts. Accept the fact that you're deaf and blind and grab anyone who is willing to pull you out of the darkness.

After all, marriage is the objective. Everything else is irrelevant and should be subservient to achieve the Main Goal.

Do you think you have made the right choice?

Obviously. Just like Liz Taylor made the right choice with every marriage she got engaged in. Besides, there is only one choice: get married. So how could I make the wrong choice?

No, I don’t think marriage is necessarily the right choice for everyone. That said, I married at age 40 and know today, just as I did then, that it was the perfect choice for me.

Prior to getting married, my life was everything I wanted it to be. As a young man, I was successful, pursued all my interests, and was entirely comfortable not being committed to a monogamous relationship. I’ll temper that comment by saying I did have a long-range plan to eventually marry and raise a family, but wanted to do so when I had matured enough to fully commit myself to a lifelong relationship.

Perhaps fate or just dumb luck caused me to live my life that way, because when I was 39, I met the woman who has since become my life partner. After nearly seven years of marriage I can honestly say that I feel fulfilled now – my wife, our children and our family lifestyle has completed what was clearly a significant hole in my single life.

To this day, we’re still madly in love with one another and somehow have managed to sustain that feeling of excitement and joy everyone has when they first starting out in a new relationship.

Good for you, Mike ;)

I do hope that it is clear that my hub is meant to be ironic.

To respond to your comment more seriously:

For me marriage is a formality. What’s important is the relationship. I’ve been happy without being in a relationship. I’ve been unhappy without being in a relationship. I’ve been happy in a relationship. And I’ve been unhappy in a relationship. Marriage or a (long term) relationship can be fulfilling, but it is not a condition or guarantee for happiness.

I’ve been married for over twelve years and I look back at that period without regret. I’ve learnt and grown. I’ve also been single quite some time and that time also taught me things about life and myself. And currently I’m in a relationship which brings me joy. Any choice in life provides you with the opportunity to grow.
