Why should I?

I’m wondering why I’ve chosen to be single for so long. I’m almost 50 and have been engaged 3 times, but I’ve never made the move to get married. Sometimes I wonder…Why should I? Growing up, getting married was what you did..what a young girl desired. In fact, the wedding used to be the second most expensive thing you did in life, and getting married was what grown people did. Being married and staying married was everyone’s intent. And frankly, when I think about it, divorce wasn’t even an option. Today, it seems like I’m more comfortable with the idea of solitude going forward. I know that I’m not being traditional in thought, but I feel comfortable with it. My focus is on preparing my life and focusing on my “now’ family members. I may be sacrificing my future relationships, but right now, that’s where I’m at. I always thought that lineage was important, and I do even now, but if it’s not meant to be, I’m prepared to face that fact. I feel complete when I give of my time and love and focus on those that mean the most to me. Not sure what life has in store for me. Are matrimonial relationships that important?
