Is married life a must?

For some marriage is necessary, a must especially for those who can't live on their own.

Nope. Fewer people than ever are taking the marital plunge these days.

Certainly not a must since some people are perfectly happy living alone.

Only for those who want it, but, for those who prefer single life, it definitely isn't.

of course not. you don't die from not being married, but I certainly enjoy going through life with a partner instead of alone

Oh hell no. I was married once. It was the worse mistake in my life. I like my independence. I like to come and go as I please. I like to spend my money on what I choose. Sex goes by the way side after you get down the line in marriage and women love to nag. Who locks themselves to that?

It's not for everyone.
