Why not get married? If its tradition or belief why not? If it’s a matter ofchoice, why not get married? If your living in a free country why not? Therecould tons of reasons why marry someone and perhaps it’s the same for those whodoes not believe in it.

Not all married couples are successful or happy couples. On the other side of the boat, are allun-married couples happy? Obviously not! I personally think it does not workeither ways and should be viewed in a bigger picture. I mean if your family isokay either ways then it’s good for you. Again it’s a matter of choice and welive with it day by day.

I have been thinking about it lately, but school and work take up all my time, so it is hard to imagine trying to find time for a spouse.

I guess later in life, marriage provides a level of security and stability, and I think it makes for a better environment for raising kids.

Kids we can then subject to medical school so they can wonder where all their time goes...

Be careful about letting med school take and/or residency take up all your time though. I know ppl say that, but it's kind of true...it can eat your life.

I don't see myself ever getting married because I have no practical reasons to do so (no kids, my life is stable in all aspects) and while I have seen happy marriages I have yet to see one in 30 years on the planet I think would make me happy. Why would I do something that won't increase my happiness and would therefore quite possibly lead me to negatively impact someone else's?
