how can I say I don't want marriage?

Christians only. If I don't know anything about marriage which is good according to the Bible, how can I say I don't want it?

Yet in most cases it not up to me it takes three God, myself and her.

But you don't know something about Marriage according to the Bible as we are born again we are part of the Church which is the Bride of Christ so in a sense Christians are "married" to Jesus. In the OT the Bible also relates to Israel as a bride to God and one prophet was commanded to marry a prostitute so he could understand how God feels about Israel.

Maybe I'm missing the point, but if you don't want to get married, don't. Simple. Nothing in the Bible says you have to be married.

"Sometimes I wish everyone were single like me—a simpler life in many ways! But celibacy is not for everyone any more than marriage is. God gives the gift of the single life to some, the gift of the married life to others." 1 Corinthians 7:7

I'm sure you have your reasons. Do you have a problem with conveying these reasons?

I heard someone say that prayer is us talking to God, intuition is God talking to us ... so pray about it then trust God to lead you into making the right decision for you.

Is it marriage you don't want or the person thatwould be your life-long spouse?

It is more like the commitment.
