How important is it to you to have a successful marriage/relationship - or are you just as content being single?

Many people I know are not happy unless they are in a relationship. I have a number of single friends who are middle age or a bit older - who are quite content being single. Having a successful marriage or relationship was not a criteria as to whether they lived a fullfilling life. Still - I think that if they had found someone special, that that would have been the 'icing on the cake'.

NOTE: This topic brings people to the table commenting about a subject that is not divided by one's political, sexual, or religious affiliation. Therefore, democrats, republicans, libertarians, heterosexuals, bi-sexuals, those involved in Scientology or Christianity or Judaism or Atheism, etc., may find that they are on the same side of the fence as to this issue - seeing that they actually have more in common than otherwise expected. Since there are so many polls dividing the SH population based on politics, religion, etc., I thought this would help in bringing people together.

My preference was always to have a loving relationship with a man who was also my best friend, so that we could go through the ups and downs of life together. If I had to though, I think I would have been content living single had I not found that man...except for the fact that I've always wanted children. I would have always felt there was something missing in my life, had I not had children.
However, for me, finding that someone who I /want/ to invade my "me" time, who I can share my thoughts and ideas and dreams with and ultimately someone to experience life with would be exactly as you put it "the icing on the cake." BUT I don't base my life around the idea of I /have/ to get married to be happy, if it happens I'll take it but no need to force it.
