Remaining single throughout life is an individual choice, despite the pressures of society.

A really good topic, don’t you think? Well, let’s start with some stats.

According to some of the latest reports, the amount of all men who never marry past the age of 44 is roughly 21%, for women it’s 15%. Our nations divorce rate is ever-changing, but Wikipedia states that the overall numbers in the 21^st century have decreased compared to the 1990’s. In 2010, it was 48 % under the age of 18, 29% between 18-19, 29% between 20-24, and 24% over the age of 25. This draws opposition to the well-used statement that “over half of all marriages end in divorce.” Clearly, the numbers decline and improve with time, but why is it some simply choose to never marry at all?

While doing some research for this article, I wanted to know what the top reasons were for staying single, forever. Of course, forever can mean certain things to certain people, but here is what I found. And yes, I realize that many will differ on what should, and shouldn’t be included but the items on these lists were posted on sites such as: Helium.com, Yahoo articles.com, MSNBC.com, and CNN.com.

The top ten reasons why women never marry are:

1.) They have the ability to support themselves.

2.) They want their independence, and simply enjoy spending time alone.

3.) They’ve had too many hurtful, even abusive past relationships.

4.) They’ve received lots of negative comments about marriage from their married friends.

5.) High divorce rate.
