What do envision being more fun and entertaining: Single or Married?

.

Jupiter Drops · Jun 8, 2014

Both have their fun side, although I think married life sounds more fun.
The grass is greener, they say.

Both can equally be fun. I do think the 'independence' of singleness is a little more appealing. That and the fact that one has more time to their self. But I do see the great fun and appeal of marriage and having that constant companionship.

Stipulation: the single life is to be lived strictly celebate.

Ok, continue responses......

^ I think we already knew that.

HA! I don't think there's a question here, single lief is definitely more fun.

Providing you still have money, friends, etc.

"Honey, can I go to Steve's house to watch the game?"
"You went to Steve's only 3 months ago!! No, you have to stay and watch Grey's Anatomy on TV with me tonight"

Yeah, that's how it's supposed to be. But in reality, professed Christians are getting it on just as much as unbelievers.

Fulfillment isn't the same as fun and entertainment.

But for me there are a lot of things that I could enjoy doing much more if I had someone to share them with like a good friend but without the awkward "dude, I am not your girlfriend" moments.

It was just the first thing that came into my head, I've never watched it. It's my sister in laws favourite show though

I think fun is something you bring to your marriage. If you don't have much of it when you're single, then I wouldn't expect a big change to occur when you tie the knot.

Singlehood can be great fun, but I'm not really interested in fun so much as a sedate place out in the suburbs and someone to share it with.

Being single's aiight. You get to do what you want; more freedom. It's just lonely. Marriage can be fun, I suppose, especially when you've kids. But I imagine being married can be lonely too: if kids aren't yet in the picture or if you and your spouse become distant for one reason or another. It is possible to be in a r/ship or marriage and still feel lonely. I think marriage can be overwhelming too 'cuz you've more responsibilities.

Ok,sex and kids go on that side of the balance. Meaningful things.

If we're making this a binary, marriage. Increased financial security, less of a need to worry about STDs and unwanted pregnancies, and the satisfaction of knowing that you at least have one part of your life figured out. ^_^

But I expect this to be the case before marriage.

You can live a boring life single, and you can live a boring life married. You can have a fun single life, and a fun married life.

redblue22 · Jun 10, 2014

While either singleness or marriage might be fun and entertaining (or not), which do you think is most likely for you? and why?

And yes, I have left out other relationship styles. Feel free to add yours.

Hahaha. Yeah. I think this about sums it up.

Texas101 · Jun 10, 2014

Been on both sides of the equation. I'm much happier unmarried than I was married. My opinion is jaded by history. That being said I use my present happiness as the bench mark when examining relationships.

Having been married twice and now divorced, for myself, it is being Single with purpose and meaning to my life.

Marriage automatically brings with it much much more responsibilities, focus on Others , overcoming adversities , working continuously on understanding each other , nurturing harmony in the marriage, and sacrificing what you want or feel like doing , etc.... Being Single, so long as you've come to a fulfilling purposed-filled Single life , to me, is certainly more fun and entertaining because primarily of the freedom involved and lesser responsibilities.
