Why do some people say that you should get married because you dont want to die alone. I mean if you do get ?

Question

married is it not an eventuality that one partner is going to die first leaving the other to die alone anyway ?.. Just a thought...

Answer 1

Exactly. That is a brilliant come-back if someone ever says that to you. Use it. :)  

Answer 2

I have always found it strange also. It is not as if when you die your spouse is coming with you. (wait for me honey I just kill myself so I can be with you!) I would rather die alone than be trapped in a terrible

relationship for years just so I can say well at least I won't die alone.

Answer 3

Absolutely right; the best thing to do is make sure you have a lot of friends so you do have people to support you emotionally when you do have a loss.

Answer 4

Your right have heard that for 46yrs think mostly it's religious people that say that and just want you to not live in what they think is a sin
