Well its obvious by the answers here that mostly single people are answering this question
Ill weigh in as someone who has been married 7 years but was single for about 27 years.....
Marriage works for me because all my children are with one woman, the same woman I get disease free unprotected sex from whenever I want.
I actually LOVE my wife, she's my best friend and sharing my life and my resources with her comes natural. We don't have to deal with any baby mamas or daddys from outside relationships, it's just us and our kids
You do get tax breaks from being married, no child support(this may not apply to all marriages) , and at least in my home we have two incomes which goes alot farther than just one.
Being honest tho what I miss most from being single is just floating in the wind, being able to do whatever whenever. I do still get my man time but of course I can't keep up with these single guys with no kids I got too much responsibility at home and people counting on me.
I like it tho because I'm doing the same thing I watched my father do when I was growing up. My parents have been married for 32 years, it's my goal to have that one day and I think I have the right woman to do that with.
You single guys have your fun I ain't even mad. Some of us weren't meant to be single, I see myself as one of the few who will be chosen to actually lead a traditional household and raise kids in said household.
