I don't think there is anyone who wants to be alone for the rest of their lives. Just the incidence surrounding marriage and relationship has made many give up. Am not saying being with someone is a must or being married is by force. It's definitely a choice. But I doubt that, there is anyone who wants to be an island. Personally, I feel the best feeling is knowing you have that someone, you can always run to and be yourself around. I know is something only relationship or marriage can give. But having it at the back of your mind that this person is your person is something beautiful. The good thing now is, compared to before where people settle for the sake of it, these days, people prefer to settle because they are convinced, the person they are about to call their life partner is truly for them.
The rate of divorce has increased dramatically this days and people are becoming scared. The rate of abuse which can be both physical and mental, infidelity, in addition to people leaving their partner when they are fully established and financially independent, or seek for divorce just to extort their partners has significantly increase the fear of marriage. Honestly, I don't really blame anybody who choose to just remain single as long as they can't find that one person for them, or are even scared to commit to a relationship, because, everything is hard now and people cannot even be trusted these days.
Let's not even venture into the part where your so called partner becomes a hindrance to your growth. Incidence where people loss themselves to their partners and end up not discover themselves or their highest purpose in life due to lack of support from their partners or being discouraged by them.
We all want someone who will help us to grow and be better, not someone that will cause us pain and bitterness. We all want that one person who will invade our space to atleast be a person of positive influence not negativity.That person who will be our cheerleader, not someone who will be rooting for our downfall.
It has been said many times that 50% of our success or failure in life lies on the person we settle with or should say, someone we ultimately call our life partners. Or to put it directly, our success and failure depends largely on who we call our wives or husbands. Now, you marry someone, after the wedding, you see a completely different person, which sometimes happen immediately after the wedding or few months or years into the marriage. Not to mention, those who put their heart and soul in a relationship only to be heart-broken after many years of commitment.
Due to all these unsureness in human beings and the risk of being with the wrong person, many have choosen to resign from the idea of marriage and prefer to just remain single and continue the course of life alone; discovering themselves everyday as they continue their journey in life, to being with someone who will end up becoming a problem and a burden in their little world and consequently, a hindrance to their growth, progress and fulfillment.
May the Lord gives us that person that will be a blessing to us and not a curse. And also heal those who have put their heart and soul in a relationship and gone through so much to make the relationship work but only end up being disappointed by the ones they love.
