Is marriage the ultimate cure for loneliness?

I don't know, since I've never been married (I'm twenty), but is it true that once someone gets married, they don't feel lonely inside anymore?


And that marriage is the key to lasting happiness?Is marriage the ultimate cure for loneliness?
That entirely depends on the people involved, their feelings, and the closeness they have. You can feel like the you are completely alone in a marriage if you cannot communicate on a deep level. If you don't have similar goals and beliefs and enjoy things together you feel utterly alone. It isn't the key to lasting happiness at all. If it were half of all marriages wouldn't end in divorce. Is marriage the ultimate cure for loneliness?
No I don't believe this at all. Everybody feels lonely sometimes even if the marriage is a success and if the marriage isn't a success it could make you feel even more lonely because once you're married you usually don't have a lot of time for old friends so if things aren't working out a lot of times you won't have anyone to turn to because of the marriage. My sister was married for ten years and when it ended she told me she felt sad and lonely everyday with him. Even though it might sound silly it's possible to be around someone all the time everyday and still feel lonely.


Hope This Helps!

I'm 57, a grandmother and I'm married to my second husband. There is no magic bullet here. In order for a marriage to work, both people have to have a lot of patience and to work at it. Probably there's nothing more lonely than going through life without a partner, without a family and without friends, but I think quality is a lot more important than quantity in this matter. You only need a few really close friends, one or two close family members and a spouse or partner you love to go through life fully supported. You can have all the people in the world surrounding you and still be very lonely.


There are a few things that can give you as much happiness or more than marriage - children, a job you really love because you are great at it and it is your life's work, a sense of purpose from making a real positive difference in other people's lives.
I just threw up in my mouth a little.

No thats not true. Some people dont feel lonely and marriage can make it worse. LOL. It depends on the relationship. If you find someone you truely love, and you still spend time with them between work and whatever else is going on then yes it could be the cure to lonelyness unless you have depression. And that needs meds, not just a relationship.
No, marriage is not a cure for loneliness. You can be together with someone and still feel lonely. You need to find happiness within yourself and not rely on someone else to fill that void.
No. People can be in a whole group of others and still feel lonely. Just because a person gets married doesn't mean they are really understood by the other person or even really cared about. People report straying outside a marriage because they felt lonely.
Marriage isn't the key to lasting happiness. For a bit time, yes, it might seem, but marriage brings a lot of responsibilities.
NO! marriage is not the solution! don't do it. Just have a open and honest relationship! Look at Gene Simmons, happily Unmarried for over 20 years with the same girlfriend.
you may not be lonely, but you could wind up with a real hassle, then get left and have to pay child support. there are longer lasting and worse consequences than loneliness so don't rush into anything. think.
It's a load of crap. Marriage does not insure not being lonely. I've been single for years (after two marriages) and I much prefer living alone. There's a big difference between being lonely and being alone.
im not married either but it is NOT marriage,,no offense to married people but there are always those who suffer abuse from marriage. i have to say the ultimate cure for loneliness is children...
No. companionship is just as good you can live with someone or just date regular and it is just as good as being married. Being married may fix your problem but it also brings some others...
People will try to tell you the right thing instead of the truth fact of the matter is the one major reason people get married is becuase they are lonely
No, it only works like that if you are truly happy with the person you are with and couldn't imagine yourself with anyone else, otherwise you will still be very unhappy.
No marriage is no cure for loneliness. That's a myth, like the one about your wedding day being the happiest day of your life.
lol no. friendships make u happy and pets. but then agian idk cuz im not married. haha but i think it depends on the person cuz i never feel loney.but i know people that proabbably would feel that way
I felt more lonely married, than not married. It depends on if your marriage is good or not. My husband was a cheat, so I felt lonely. I didn't know he was a cheat until after, though.
No, marriage is not the key to lasting happiness. Self-love is.
That can be very true with a successful marriage.
If depends on how you react to eachother, like if he talks to you alot but never hugs or tell he loves you then its kinda like old couples not having sex anymore. lol. I really dont know.





good luck.
No, you can have someone and be just as lonely. Haven't you read some of the horror stories on this site? Good Luck!
No, I'm married and sometimes I still feel lonely as hell even when I'm right next to him.
WHEN U GET MARRIED U MIGHT REALIZE U WERE BETTER OFF ALONE
