Is Marriage the purpose of life?

[Grahame Garnett]

Hi,

I am a 33 year old unmarried man. I hail from a society where men should be married at the age of 25-26, have 2 kids by the age of 30. I had a messy breakup and hence couldn’t come to terms with marrying anyone else. I do not feel like marrying at all and I am not sure about it. Is marriage the ultimate purpose of life? Does it give everlasting bliss? I am trying to be spiritual and joined a spiritual organisation where the sisters and brothers are all single. They advocate that we have to embrace God to be our ultimate companion and soulmate. The moment I think about marriage it makes me feel negative things about sex and I hate sex to the core. Although I have explored foreplay with a few partners, I am still a virgin and don’t feel like giving up my virginity for just any woman. Please enlighten me about the negative effects of marriage and other aspects that you deem fit.
