Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn't do than the ones that you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbour.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.

Very interesting topic. I am married and yes happily married. I know few points Which I will Share.
Marriage is commitment. Agreed.
What is wrong in having a commitment? It is a decision taken by an adult. Marriage gives responsibility . But responsibilty can be pleasant as well. Marriage is like being together in Highs and lows of life. One has somebody by his or her side to share feelings, share space, suggest ideas with a Bias strongly in favour of you. There Should be at least a individual with whom you share everything as your own. Marriage is living in Harmony, is like a beautiful piece of music. Marriage is not like unwanted burden. It is a pleasure. Seeing child grow is a beautiful unique feeling. You have somebody to dance with somebody to cry with somebody to walk with ...always. Friends are from different category. they cannot be compared with a spouse. Marrige is ballet with a melodious music. There are many things which can spoil the harmony. Poor communication. Poor understanding. Both having hot tempers. can spoil it in a second. Nobody suffers . It could be justa  perception.
Life is a pleasure and marriage highlights it.  One can add colours, music just by being married and having family. Ultimately it is indiviaduals choice how he breaths the life.
Thanks for taking up this topic

Ashish, Your article emphasized the main reason behind the marriage is to have off-springs but does not give appropriate focus that human being is a social animal. Being a  social being it is basic requirement to live in a group and a marriage is an ideal model for that where both the primary requirements are met, first living in a group and second to have off-springs.
 
Second, I strongly disagree with teh idea of goint o old-age homes (damm!) . I would like to be with the family where I have emotial support, especiaaly when I am weak physically.  I am sure our kids would also like teh same when they will grow older.

Ofcourse,this wouldn't fit into big picture, atleast for now.  So meanwhile why don't those unfortunate spouses take time to enjoy themselves.  Instead of thinking about all these responsibilities and getting emotional,depressed they should make the most out of their marriage deals.
 
As far as women empowerment is concerned, in our country it is still in pipeline.   Even if they work and earn equal or more amount of money as men, insecurity  is still there in the life of a single woman.   Carrying a pistol for self protection is also very impractical in the current scenario with all the terrorism going on around the cities.   So marriage is a protective shield for the time being.  
 
Even if this generation,and their parents think this way,there are so many negative thoughts like this one mentioned which is making all this a distant dream or so I think.
 
Anyway......

Hi all, Thanks for your comments.
I know a lot of people in today's world thinks this way. Whether they are acting on it or not, thats a different issue.
 
If you have a different view, I respect your views. But I dont have to change my view. Its my thoughts and I am writing about it. I dont mean to hurt anybody or preach anybody. You have your ideas and I have mine. Thats about it.
 
Thank you all for your time..Sorry I couldn't reply to all comments individually.

Saaya ,
I was pleasantly shocked to read your blog ! My god ,there is another person
in the world who thinks exactly like me ! First I thought you must be a bachelor
guy like me. And then realised you are a married woman! I don't have the gift
of expressing myself well, but if I were to write on marriage it would be almost
word for word like your post.

I have gone through a heartbreak, then all  things like seeing girls .. ultimately
realised marriage is not for me. I am perfectly happy alone and determined to
have a great time. Sadly my parents are never going to accept my decision.
There is absolutely no way to convince then that marriage will not make me happy..

Thanks for writing the wonderful blog. I joined sulekha after reading your blog.

It is all very easy to objectify things, it is not easy to live through them. I am of the opposite sex and had the same thoughts as you (the reasons were of course different) But I did take the plunge and i am so glad i did so. it is not just a question of being brave enough to be different (and women need to be more brave than men for doing the same things – societal pressure is just too high on them). Every stage of our lives has a different requirement. It is all well to be different, but do revise your opinions as you grow. Because you will grow and will change your opinions – that is inescapable. I have seen the loneliness of bachelors and spinsters. All I am trying to say is don't look back one day to find that it is too late to take the plunge.

i totally  agree with you saaya..I am married my self because of family pressure..but if marrige does not work it's like hell and specially in USA your spouse take half of everything you have and you have to go through a lot..i am not against marrige  and it's very nice to be in love and love someone..but why to marry..I know so many people they were so happy when they were dating  for long time ..but as soon as they get marry they start having problems..i think you can live much hapier with a same peroson without getting married..but  any one who wants to get married should only mary if he/she wants to marry not because of socitey..and if some people thinks we have to have kids to live in this socitey we can always have kids without getting married..most of people in USA/europe they have kids as boy freind/girlfreinds ..and pretty soon it will be start in other countries also...it's just my thought because my marrige is not working well..and pressure from society is just killing me..
tks..

I think you have never had any kind of good relationship with anybody.  Think about this...if your parents weren't married, you would have never come into this world.  Marriage is a lot more than your understanding.  I agree that there are lot of divorces happening today, and most of them are on their own and that is more visible today, but there are lot of marriages which are successful also.  It is a blend of physical, mental, emotional bonding.  
A person who cannot understand relationships cannot have a long friendship.  Tell me who is your friend whom you have known for more than 10 years and even today you share all your feelings with that person.
