Married or Single? Debate
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- Marriage has long been considered a goal to aspire to and a conventional path to happiness. But over the last few decades, the traditional view of marriage as the cornerstone of adult life has been questioned. Changes in economic conditions, gender roles, and cultural values have fueled a reevaluation of whether marriage is still desirable or necessary for personal fulfillment and social stability. Those who believe it’s better to get married argue that married individuals report better physical and mental well-being, compared to single adults. They also experience economic and social benefits. Those who believe it’s better to be single say singledom helps promote independence, allows individuals to make decisions freely, makes it likely to create broader social networks and communities, and feel more fulfilled than they would if they felt pressured to be partnered.
Whether you are in a relationship or not, we debate the following prompt: Married or Single?
Arguing Married: Jonathan Rothwell, Principal Economist at Gallup
Arguing Single: Bella DePaulo, Social Scientist and Author of "Singled Out" and "Single at Heart"
Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates

Great debate!
My take: Married, with benefits, and not necessarily involving constant cohabitation!
On the other hand, I'm sure Bella is a great person but man is it difficult to listen to the way she speaks...
Great debate
This is a great Video. This brings back painful memories which i have been enduring. My relationship of 5 years ended 3 months ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.
I am sorry about what you have been through. I have been through something similar and was almost depressed, till I contacted a spiritual counselor who helped me get my ex back and hence my life back
Interesting. Who is this counsellor, and how do I meet the person?
Online, you'll find shelly renee white, revered for her expertise as a spiritual counsellor. She has the ability to reunite couples and promote holistic well-being.
Thanks a lot. I just did. Impressive.
Jeff brought the wisdom
It's not like i want to be single. If i find a good chance to marry i would. I think the majority of single people are like me, however you didn't talk about this situation in the debate.
So grateful I never got caught in the marriage trap as a female. Marriage guarantees no intimacy, emotional or otherwise, in relationships.
interesting
You don’t need to be married to be committed. Marriages don’t last either…has he seen the divorce rate.
Yes. He quoted it.
He must hate being alone with himself
