Marriage does not have to raise your BP if you just realize that a partnership with a woman does not revolve around you as a man. :)

Marraige does not ‘elevate’ ur status, but it certainly changes ur status in society. The married women probably cant relate to u anymore…which U take as their superiority complex. Trust me, its no fun to be married anyways.
Our Desi society is more accepting of married women as compared to unmarried women (of marriageable age)…its just the way we are…
and btw all of U unmarried people stop thinking abt sex

Re: Does being married elevate your status in society?
People treat you differently. Most people see marriage as a sign of maturity so they are willing to listen to you more. It was so funny in Pakistan this time, my khala was actually having a conversation with me! And it lasted a few hours! But I noticed that in contrast to me, she did not talk "with" my other cousins who were unmarried, more like talk "to them". It's not even the age thing, because I got married when I was 20, and I'm still in school, whereas others are working and much older.
I don't think of it as a superiority complex really. You do change with marriage. It's not that you can't relate to single people anymore, it's just that they often don't consider that you have someone else in your life now who has to figure into your decisions and goals. How can stay the same when such a big change has occurred? As for being better off, I do think I am better off, but better off compared to how I was when I was single. Because this whole new world opens up for you of this person always being there for you. My electricity went away yesterday around midnight and my husband stayed on the phone with me, up with me, for hours listening to me cry, scream, swear (I lost my essay) until I finally slept around 5 am. Not many people will do that for you. So yeah, I am better off than most single people too probably. And it's not a superiority complex, it's wanting them to feel as lucky and happy as me.
I think many single people are too sensitive about this. Maybe it's not that the married person has a superiorty complex, maybe it's their own unconscious jealousy and insecurity? I mean, girls who are in relationships, I don't think they would feel that the married person is superior, but the single person will. Who doesn't want to be in a relationship? I can think of precious few.
All that said, I enjoy being with married girls or girls in relationships more. More common ground. And you can wax prolix about your guy all you want. As an aside, it's funny, single people talk about guys too, when you have a crush, all you can talk about is him, yet when a married girl talks about her husband a lot, you hear a lot of "she's a slave to her husband, a typical subserviant wife, she has a superiority complex and is rubbing it in that she has a guy". Yeah of only we were that devious.
