> This is a ridiculously one side POV. I don't see marriage as giving up personal life. I see it as starting a personal live. There is some truth to this though. It's just you personally don't see it that way. A number of my single friends, 35+, love their life - exactly the way it is. They want a relationship but not bad enough to give up specific aspects that are called 'freedoms'. One of them being able to hook up and many others. I'm married with children and wouldn't want it any other way, but that's me. My personal take, yes please do not get married if you don't want to.
