Surveys tell us that happily married people with kids generally live longer and have fewer mental, emotional and financial problems, than single people, divorced or separated people and childless couples. |

each person have their own unique needs and ways to be fulfilled in life.
Being single gives you mobility to make decisions with minimal impact to other people.
Being married without kids limits the mobility but gives you a companion hopefully for life who can share in your dreams, aspirations and help you achieve your goals together.
Having kids gives you the oppportunity to build on what your parents gave you, sort of paying it forward. And nothing comes close to teaching you "hands-on" what unconditional love means than being a parent.
btw, if you're a guy.... there's a study that says you become healthier, happier and live longer if you're married. |

Well.. it's a process...and it depends on a person. As for me, I'm 26 y.o. and in a relationship planning to settle down when I'm 27 y.o. then 2 years without children to enjoy our marriage life then at 29 y.o. I guess.. it's about time to start a family. God willing. <*-*> |

Married with kids. There is nothing that compares to being married although not happily at all times because one cannot expect perfection even in the most seeming perfect relationship; and having kids. As a woman, nothing completes me than being a mother. I believe it is the epitome of being a woman. |

You know, I've come to realize there is no "better". Its just whatever happens. Some people get married just because thats what they were told would happen since they were a kid. Some people accidentally have a kid because of 'oops'. Some people stay single because thats how they have the most fun.
I'm single myself, and for the longest time I thought thats how I wanted it forever. I liked having a lot of women around me and not having to 'commit' to one. I liked the freedom to be able to have a relationship 'be what it is, nothing more nothing less'. I liked being able to move on when things got inconvenient. Then I found a woman that made having all the other ones seem insignificant. I'm not sure if she was the kind that I would marry if I ever considered that, but the whole thing made me realize its about what makes you happy.
You shouldn't force marriage. You shouldn't marry because its what you're 'supposed to do'. You shouldn't marry simply because you can get along with someone. You shouldn't marry just because you 'oopsed' a baby. That being said you shouldn't stay single just because thats the life that you're accustomed to and you're afraid to give all of your heart to one person(putting all your eggs in one basket so to speak).
And as for kids, well if I got married I think I would want at least one. I've been given the gift of life and I believe I should pass that gift along. I have a baby cousin that is so cute that I think it would be great being a father someday. Of course I can't speak first hand about it being great to have kids because I don't have any myself.
The point is, live your life as it makes you happy in that moment. As you live learn and grow as a person you may want different things. And who knows, maybe there is a such thing as destiny. Let whats meant to be happen. |

every status is better depending on a personal situation... in my case, I am single at a marrying age but I guess, my life may change if i am married or at least i have children .. they may add to the meaning of my life... Being a loner, I guess it's better that I am married... |

It depends on what you, as an individual, value more; solitude or companionship? Individualism or group dynamics? Heartaches and stress, or peace and tranquility? With the single life, most people I know who are single are always "looking" for a partner, even if only briefly. If it doesn't work, they split up and resume the search or retreat to lonliness and frustration. On the other hand, folks who are happily married wouldn't trade their lives for anything (I count myself among those fortunate ones), regardless of whether they have kids or not. The unhappily married ones, however, are a miserable lot, feeling trapped with no (honorable) way out, and not enough courage (or resources) to admit they'd made a horrendous mistake, and try to start over. I made such a mistake with my first marriage, and it took seven years of hell on earth to find the courage to admit it was never going to work, and seek a divorce, but I did, and it was not a good experience, especially since we produced two children I loved very much. But 17 years later, I found my love, who gave me a beautiful son, and a love I will cherish forever. My vote is with marriage and children, but that's only because it's finally worked out right for me! |

salam my good Friend, you always make great questions, Mashallah.
as you know my friend, humans are so complex and have different characters and life styles, what may be better for one may not suit another , we are different in our attitudes, likes and dislikes, but Al-hamdullelah we all share this life and many great things together, we share the instinct for living and searching for happiness, which is "the Happiness" it self has levels, levels of happiness. when you meet your good mate you will feel you are the happiest person in the world, when you both decide to share life, thoughts, and feelings...etc through marriage with her you will be in a higher level of happiness and when you been given your kids nothing could be compared to this level. but still in this life there is no perfection, and you will seek more and more and for some if they don't achieve that more they will get miserable, but for those who believe in the other life they will be convenient with what the are been given by Allah (swt)...
back to your direct Q. , the better for me is to be with my family, married and have kids. but if i want to be satisfied and happy with that i must earn it, must work hard to get it, and appreciate what i gained, and been given by Allah (swt).
Enshallah my friend you find the happiness in both lives and find peace, amin |

To be happily married with kid(s) is the ideal situation for me.
It's really really hard to be a single parent. |
