Me too, and here is why I'm proud of it. It is incredibly hard in this world to not succumb to the pressure to marry simply for the sake of being married. I've seen a lot of my friends marry for this reason only and they are miserable. I could have married if I simply wanted to be married. I'm proud that I've had the strength to be true to what I know in my heart to be right. That means when and if I find the one true love, then I know it will be the right thing to marry. Everything thus far in my life tells me that it is not God's will for me to be married. So, yeah, I'm proud to be doing what is right rather than what is easy.

Besides, I think the real thrust of this argument is that there are more single households. I'd bet that has as much or more to do with seniors living longer once a spouse has passed on. That's probably where the real growth of single person households is.
