Dovid HaMelech: I realize that you read many, many articles and gather many stats, but have you ever conducted your own research/poll and ask a single person, man or woman if they are happy or unhappy?
I had an uncle who never married and he died at age 85 and this was in the 1970s. Not bad for a single man.
Most assuredly. I really gave a heavy sigh when I saw this comment. Better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with a spouse that isn’t your zivug/beshert. Nothing worse than a house that does not have Shalom Bait. Very sad, indeed.
