Interestingly, there are an increasing number of single women and men, who are single by choice. Today, approximately 50% of the adult population is single. And while many would like to find someone to grow old with � they don�t necessarily want to get married. The biggest change in demographics of single by choice adults is in the population of females over the age of 33.
One reason that sociologists believe that more women are single by choice in this day and age is because it has become more socially acceptable for women to not get married. Years ago, the fruit of a successful life included marriage for women. Additionally, women today feel more empowered to have children without a husband and often have the means to do so. So while years ago, if a woman wanted children she sought out a husband, today not so much.
Perhaps the biggest reason that women today are confident and comfortable holding on to their single status is because they are more educated and successful professionally today, than they were just ten years ago. One recent study showed that in 2010, there were more women graduating major colleges with degrees than there were men. And over the past two decades, workplace equity in terms of salaries and benefits have equaled out as well. This means that women are fully able to take care of themselves and often put their professional pursuits above those of the heart.
A new generation of men and women are in fact enjoying coupled relationships without tying the marital knot. Approximately 33% of all unmarried adults living are with an adult companion without a wedding ring. For these couples, the autonomy and freedom that comes from not being married works for them. Plus, they feel that without the marital commitment the relationship is more clear and well defined and they are able to hold on to their own happiness as well. Couples who do not get married, often feel that they have more time to focus on their own lives, and do not become tangled in the stress that often comes from the marital arrangement.
Additionally, men and women as a general rule feel that not being married gives them more control over their own lives and that they don�t become so quickly enrooted in gender roles that often present themselves after the vows are said.
Plus, people who have been married and divorced, realize just how hard a marriage is. For this population of divorcees, the idea of marrying again is frightening and unwarranted. These adults are well aware of the statistics that give them little more than a fighting chance to stay married in the long term and choose to stay single.
If you are thinking about getting married, there certainly is a lot to consider. Most people, make the choice by thinking of love first and foremost. However, there are other things to consider. A marriage may start with two people but rarely stays about those two people. In fact, by marrying someone you make a decision to become attached to extended family members, and to take part in idealisms about marriage that may not present themselves until the �I do�s,� are spoken. There are also considerations of financial resources to consider as well. Do you really want to take on the debt from a partner, or begin splitting expenses, especially if you make substantially more money than the person that you are dating? And what happens when you have children? It is no longer entirely up to you how you will take care of them and what choices you make for them.
Evident by statistics is the fact that the world is changing as it pertains to marriage and family. And even more proven is that it no longer takes a marriage to make a happy adult. In fact, many reports indicate that adults who remain single, albeit in relationships with significant others � actually experience more happiness and self-fulfillment than those that do not. More and more people today are able to answer the question of whether they should get married or not without being tied down to moral based value systems that for decades discredited those that were single. And for many people, the choice is to stay single longer, if not forever.
