If I never get married, I'd still have a fulfilling life. I'd still do all the things I plan on doing. My goals in life (adopting kids, getting my Masters, etc) are not contingent upon whether or not I get married.

The women who are unmarried and miserable are those who have decided that,unless they are married, certain things cannot happen. For example, I've heard girls say that they don't want to do this or that until they get married (i.e. "I want to wait until after I get married to get my Masters, so my hubby can support me while I go back to school"). So that means, if you never get married, then you'll never get an advanced degree, and you'll eventually regret trying planning your career around a marriage that never happened.
