On the day after Valentine’s day, I can’t resist another post on relationships. Today while I was traveling, I spoke with a single woman who is proud of her career, loves her friends, and loves her life. Some of her friends think she would be happier if she were married. It’s what people do where she lives.

Can’t they understand, she asked, that I’m really happy with my life?

It’s a great question, and I really admire her for knowing better than anyone else what will make her happy. More and more women are finding satisfaction outside of marriage. I’m very glad that so many people are deciding for themselves what will make them feel good.

I think there are two lessons here. First, any kind of life can be rewarding. Second, only you can know what is the right kind of life for you.
