I am 38 yrs old.. I have never been into a relationship and yea my parents are excellent..they never forced me to get married. They are so supportive. I am proud to be excelling in my life by God's grace and I am taking good care of my parents. I find marriage to be a highly overrated thing.
Never in relationship? That's great.
Your so pretty omg ! Keep going !
The bible says it's better to stay single that even in heaven there won't be marrige.
It's difficult , financially to live alone , when everybody else is sharing living expenses etc , we need a change politically and Infrastructure wise so that , people will no longer have to forcefully marry anyone
Same!
She literally roasted India with her "I live in a country and a culture that allows me to have a choice". That was like ouch.
India is a democracy where women have choice you twit
@@doctorpanigrahi9975 social pressure is still very existent in India and Indian culture especially from Boomers & any generation before millennials, and that’s a fact. FYI This is coming from Indian. Mentally & emotionally, it’s discouraging for anyone wanting to do more than just getting married.
@LeoGuy N So watching porn simping sleeping with prostitutes posting nudes to get the attention of the opposite gender is fine but the expectation from your parents that their own chold will get married have their own family and kids who they can see when they get old themselves is disgusting.
And its coming from someone where marriage rate is 55% and men has to raise their friends child. 👍
@@tenone7726 yes, because your parents opinions matter the most.
The first case, even if not ideal, it's your own BAD decision, not somebody else's. And you also are free to make your own good decision, including getting married and having kids.
I feel she approached the topic in respectful enough way despise the initial roast 😅
"because my culture allows me to do so" STRAIGHT ON POINT!!
she doesn't have to get married... no one does... who says that getting married is a rule?
Marco Axel exactly
The irony is that those who accuse you of being selfish for not doing your part to perpetuate the human species are themselves concerned only about (selfishly) disseminating their own genes in the population & ensuring the survival of their own family's name. They care little or nothing about anything beyond the scope of their own backyards. Furthermore, in the misguided desire to lead a "normal" life they are likely sacrificing their own innate talents/gifts--avenues through which they can BEST contribute to the world.
And yes, I feel their jealousy & their relentless need for all others to join their ranks in order to better justify their own fear-fuelled choices. If they were truly happy in their own skin, they would have an ability to appreciate how others can align with their own Truth through entirely different choices.
May be she was never ask by her man.
Some people in certain countries make it a rule.
its so true. im a guy and i want to get married when i feel im ready but man everybody i mean like everybody keeps on asking why am i not married or yoi should get married already like... hello people theres no law for that!... stop it
In America: You are a biggest celebrity in this world. What is your next goal and what's your advice to young people to have a successful life.
In India: Why you are not married?
Ikr🙄🤦♀️stupid question by barkha
😂😂😂
Lol ikr
Same here 😂😂
😅
I understand what she is saying. I have never married either. It seems the older I get the more comfortable I am with being single
No I'm not
+Maska Jinzo whatever
Is it so hard to believe a heterosexual woman could prefer independence? Because in your mind ALL straight women want to get married, even if they say they don't? That's like thinking all women you go on a date with want to have sex with you, even if some say no.
Maybe they're not in the mood, maybe they're just not that into you yet, or maybe they never will be into you, but they actually do NOT want to. Can you accept that, and find someone who *does" want to, or would your manhood be somehow diminished by accepting that?
Well, just like not ALL straight women want to have sex with you, not ALL straight women are comfortable with the idea of marriage, much less actually want to BE married. Your deducing by the OP's picture that she must be a lesbian, because she's older and comfortable with being single, is frankly a juvenile conclusion.
Furthermore, your assumption that all actual lesbians deny that they're lesbians, might have some truth to it if we were living in the 1930's, but this is 2016, and the LBGT community is proud and loud, in case it's escaped your attention. If you deduced someone to be a lesbian and they actually _were_, they would loudly affirm their sexuality and let you know they were proud of it, too.
your right.the truth is its all about her money why its not going to happen.she is thinking about how much money she will have to give up if there is a divorce and she is in the wrong
i feel like she puts into words how i feel, also for me its the same as you the older i get the more comfortable i am being single and, not having had children, i guess as you get older you grow and in my case dont care much about other peoples opinions on how your life should be, where i live its mostly, married with two or three children,
Marriage has destroyed my whole being....I'm so hurting
You can heal just say it and you will work towards it no one owns your life you are the master all you owe them is respect
s k I am sorry to hear that. Don’t despair things will get better. You won’t hurt forever.
I'm sorry...I call for your healing. Passed that path and I'm the happiest on my own now!!!
It makes u evil towards them man or woman.
Till I hear from the other mouth, testimony of one is not valid. Speak for yourself, don't make it a general sermon.
"because my culture allows me to "lol. get the sarcasm
That wasn’t sarcasm. She’s from the US, and we have a choice here and no stigma.
It s fact ,no sarcasm
It was said for indian culture .that what she meant
@@ruchitasingh9745 ya it wasn't sarcasm
Yeah right. Not as open as America is my point. Most Indian families in india are wanting arranged marriages.
Oprah you said it just right. I respect you for being your own woman. If you were married you could have not been all you could be like you are now. Also having no children is the right choice you have made, because you have a whole world of children, some men and women you have helped raised on some level. Thank you for being so real. My family and me love and adore you!
Having children of your own is much better even if you need to extend hands of help to others .
@@danladiojito9741no, it's not.
There's a reason why powerful Queens in history rarely have a King...
Some women are just fine and enough for themselves..
You're not a queen. So that means you need a King over you.
@@Tiffanysmith339 Not true. Women alone usually have cats.
And what reason is that???
There's no queen without a king!
Many women in today's world don't feel the need to get married. having a husband and children is not every woman's ultimate dream. fortunately we live in a world that is allowing us more and more to have different dreams, different goals. That is progress.
I think some people aren't suited for marriage. Sort of like we're not all suited for certain careers.
@@lisadiconti If marriage was ever happy ever after then I would have wanted it but in most cases that is not the real picture. Men are either cheating, there is either verbal, physical and mental abuse. If not for the alimony most of them would be divorced. There are very few good marriages and if someone finds it then one should do whatever it takes to stay in it. Marriage is important if you want to raise a kid in healthy environment. In most cases, people are divorcing because they found a more beautiful woman and if men are not doing it then there is a woman who is cheating on her spouse.

Life is a choice...I strongly believes in doing what makes you happy irrespective of people's opinion.
I love her answer, especially when she talked about conformity.
Just goes to shows marriage isn't necessary for happiness and success!
ok tmi
And that's true. Getting married and having kids isn't for everybody. I have never been married and I don't have any kids. And I am very happy way. At least I'm woman enough to admit it!
If Oprah's happy staying single, that's her choice. She will never be another divorce statistic, get involved in bitter child custody disputes, or raise her in a single-parent household!
Oops. I meant to say that she'll never have to worry about raising kids in a single-parent household. Sorry about that.
But money is necessary
It never was necessary for happiness
Oprah feels uncomfortable, she really felt the cultural gap enormously. It seemed they were laughing at her. But she is such an adult and knew how to speak and focus on the respect for the foreign audience. That was a challenge!!
Yah cause they think theyre better than her or they think she thinks shes better than them…just different is all.
I think they were only laughing at her jokes.
WOMEN ARE NOT HERE TO FULFILL SOCIETY'S ROLE OF A DEVOTED WIFE! Women are here to live their life according to how THEY want to live it. There is nothing wrong with marriage and there is nothing wrong with not wanting to conform to marriage!
Alexander Tamayo cheap feminist mangina located
thank u i am from Trinidad and tobago, and not married.
+goodgreatlife You're a hysteric. He didn't say anything unreasonable - nothing against men. He stated that women should not feel obliged or fated to conform to a certain role. Why on earth would you criticise someone for saying that a woman should be allowed to exercise choice? You've got to stop screeching crass insults at anyone who makes a point which could be interpreted as vaguely pro-women. Stop immediately interpreting it as anti-men.
Alexander, THANK YOU. Some women are just not cut out to be wives and mothers, just like some men are not cut out to be husbands and fathers, and if they are forced to try to be something they're not, it will only make them resentful, which, like it or not, will come out in some form of abuse, either to themselves or to those they are *supposed* to love. If they *know* that as singles /childless singles they are better people - kinder, happier, content with life and supportive of loved ones - and if they know they could not fulfill that potential if they were married or had children, then it's not society's place to prevent them from being the best people they can be.
aerialkate Why do you use the pronoun, "He"?
Oprah is a woman, and therefore should be referred to as "SHE"
Great answer from Oprah. She would win a Miss Universe peagant if she answered like that. LOL.
Vanessa Williams sure won
Oprah on why she didn't get married: "I'm my own woman." And i have 6 billion in the bank. lol
@Gayatri Sahu bill gate is a celebrity as well
EXACTLY!! Whenever you see a wealthy woman, who doesn't want to get married, because other women know their own hypergamous nature, you will see that other women will agree as to why the wealthy woman should NOT get married; all the while knowing very well that women who marry wealthy men have an agenda to stay married until they decide to get divorced knowing that the american court system will give the woman half of a man's assets. So, the wealthy woman don't want that to happen to her when the script is flipped !!
Yes just get to the point 👌
Stop judging us for having money , if it's a guy do you say the same thing ? I don't think so
@@rumisarkar4824 I'm a lady too, and a man with that kind of bankroll, probably actually lol
She has a CHOICE.
Anyone with her kind of money would be stupid to get married.

She’s an Aquarius. She’s freedom loving and self-propelled.
Astrology is bullshit. But, agreed: Oprah is freedom-loving.
With a Sag moon... Screams freedom 🗣
@@ksmith4631 Freedooooom!!! ;)
What's being Aquarious got to do with anything. Can we all grow up.
@@rairadio7119
🤣. You’re free to grow up. Just do that yourself. Obviously, you’re the one who sees the need to grow up. The evaluation is a first person’s pov. Just go ahead and go that. This is an Aquarius. I would just grow up if I felt the need for myself. I wouldn’t just “project that” onto others. Go ahead. You have the permission to grow. You don’t need company for that. 👍🏾
it is very easy to just comment about someone else's life choice. if oprah had married and had kids she would not have been the successful person she is today. we only have one life and our time is limited we must strive to reach our own potential to reach our dream. if oprah's dream is to be who she is without someone else well at the end of the day that is what really matters.
Adriana Alcala Beyonce is married and have children, Kim Kardashian is also married and have children. Both of them are still famous and have successful careers. Oprah has a man in her life since many years, and this man contributed to her stability and success in a certain way.
I respect Oprah Winfrey's reply to the question, and it makes a lot of sense to me.
Actually, she owned the interviewer with her candid answer and the fact that she pointed out that women in India are often FORCED to marry and seen as worthless if they are unmarried.
With Oprah’s bank account, I’d be financially set for multiple lifetimes. I totally understand

Her bank account didn't come easy she worked hard for it. So don't be talking about her bank account. It's about her a self-made women.

Amadou Diallo she did it for her own glory!
the things she gave away on her show were free from the manufacturers. If you really check into it she gave mainly to blacks. Maybe she never got married because Gail didn't want to get married

I support being your own woman....INDEPENDENCE!!
I am married and I am my own woman and my husband is his own man. It is one of the best things that god created for men and woman.
I love myself but I know what god did for us so me having a man, husband and adorable father to our children makes every moment precious. He has a life and he does all the things he wants to do and I am still his devoted wife.
He did not make a man to be alone! So that is where we come in.
Read your bible single happy women and maybe you will then understand why men were even created by god!
@@wcrice67 I think that’s awesome but some women are not ready to be a helpmate because they have to help themselves.
@@ladylefteye yeah
One of the smartest answers ive came across youtube on the question of marriage. I totally agree. They are prisonners of their culture.
Marriage is about to care ,to take responsibility, to adjust and ofcourse gets back also ,it is equally give and take ,its not to become prisoner ,its a team work...and its a big pleasure, rest its one's choice to get married or not...
@@manizaraj2993 you have a beautiful point of view but I think marriage isn't for everyone
This completely makes perfect sense too me! When you choose to be with someone you have to almost sacrifice being your own individual to become something or bond to someone and be something you aren't. & I CANNOT DO THAT. I'm not bound to nobody. I like to be free. Not that being free means sleeping around with everybody but even if you do that is your free will choice. Everybody dreams of being with someone and live happily ever after and I completely am the opposite. I love myself and being alone. At the same time I wouldn't mind being with someone if we are on the same path and think alike and have the same goals in a sense. As well I would have to like that person on a friendship kind of level. Even then though, I would still have to have my "ME" time or else I get angry lmaooo.. Such a interesting video. Everybody is different.
+bryancg89 I cherish my freedom and I like being alone but I also have known a man for 25 years and we are just roomates. We are soul mates.
Let see how much you love yourself when you are old and ALONE.
+Maska Jinzo She has had a boyfreind for 30 years.
Great perspective
Well, I am female, happily unmarried & child-free, pet-free, too. I'm a writer who has always been an introspective introvert! I find that most people, regardless of gender, tend to seek out distractions (from themselves) in whatever form they can find it. What probably annoys others most about ME is that I have a penchant for compelling people to confront themselves, especially their deepest fears. : )
Oh yes it totally is . Its very very much common .. most of the marriages in india are in fact arranged . but dont worry ... it works for most of them . My parents had one too :-)
Are u sure about that? Hmmmmmm
Heyyy Prachi.
Hiee prachi mam
It doesn’t mean that they are happy in arranged marriages. It would be terrible to marry someone you don’t know or even like. How sad 😢
I am sorry that I am differing with you. Arranged marriages in fact don't work for many. Whether it is an arranged or a love marriage, most of the marriages become disastrous and the couples is those marriages lead miserable lives together just for the sake of the society or their children. Of course there are a lucky few couples that end up in happy marriages but they are rare (according to me).
The worst thing I ever did was get into a “relationship” let alone married.
😂😂 you read my mind! the past two relationships I have been in, have be short & horrible.. i think I’m similar to Oprah in the sense that I can’t conform.. I’m way too independent and like doing my own thing plus I have a son that I do things for all the time, no need to add to the list.. I’m knackered & will only be with someone who will fully understand me & be willingly take care of me for a change!
@Nikhil 7 lol there are men out there
Me too😂😂😂😂
@Nikhil 7 A man with his own kids. I’m not having anymore kids.
ME TOO I will never get married again NEVER
This is cool. I never saw this interview. I love the topic that they discussed.
I agree 100 percent i dont do well with other ideas and what kind of person i should be
Only in India, and certain other developing and under-developed countries, we have this social pressure of getting married. I mean what one does in their life, is their choice, who is anyone else to even comment on it. Unless someone is doing something illegal, I don't think anybody has the right to even comment on anything. But we have all the time in the world to comment about everything and judge everyone. That's why we are third world because we love wasting our time doing unproductive discussion and gossiping about friends and neighbours.
So true. Even as girlfriends we can fall into that trap. But at least we are not married! Married women tell me not to get married all the time.
Super reply... That's why you are the top most talk show host...
Oprah... Respects n Love to you...
I don't think anybody should comment on Oprah's choice of how she choose not to marry. It's her life, not yours. Period.
i agree with oprah, i think marriage is just a legal pain in the arse. never been married myself and my partner is happy with that. no kids either by choice! BE YOUR OWN WOMAN!
oh... my partner is coloured... lucky you that i feel the way i do then huh?
AND are you only referring to white womens' primary objective to be mothers or all women? wait .. i don't even want to know any more about your beliefs, they are all yours, keep them.
adad The white population will never decrease because there are always idiots having more kids then they can pay for! Worry about your own race.
good response tony. over here in new zeland we are feeding kids in schools now because they keep having them and can't afford them. more taxpayers money spent on the selfishness of these women.
Don't know who your comment is aimed at Steve W, but I don't have to convince myself or anyone else about my happiness. I know for a fact it is there. Sorry if yours isn't.
megan henry that is why men are going to russia thailand and running after asian women cause nobody want you except view you girls sexually for fun.
No it's exactly what she says, she's her own woman. Look what she's done with her life. Marriage, the way it's set up, isn't for everybody.
it depends on who she chooses
Jason Eric what makes you think that arrange marriage works for Indian women ? I have lived in India and there's a new dowry case ,murder and suicides by married women every single day . Most Indian women get forced into these marriages in a very young age and get treated as slaves throughout their lives until they kill themselves .
Well, who's going to get her pregnant?
Not even childrens.
The way all societies were originally set up, women are defined by their looks and relationship status. Most will spend their entire lives focusing on, and trying to get validation for those two things, or else they lose. This is why you hear all those jokes about age, looks, and being single - only on women. *They conform, and often erase their individuality, because marriage is a necessity to them in most societies, never was for men* .
But in modern societies, we're seeing generations of self-realized women for the 1st time in history. Not a dozen accomplished women, GENERATIONS. Marriage now is an option for us, no longer a necessity. I don't think marriage itself is the issue (the vow to commit for a lifetime, and build a family), but the world's idea of what a wife is toxic. *Very few couples have found the balance between some traditional elements that have their place, without taking them to extremes, and allowing each spouse to be themselves* . Throughout human history we've been going on extremes. Misogyny in traditional societies is one extreme, misandry now called "neo-feminism" is another.
*We can romanticize the past or highly traditional countries all we want, healthy marriages were never the norm anywhere at any point in time in the history of mankind* . Divorce just wasn't as allowed as it is today. But our nature remained the same. We all know around us people who have been married 30+ years and are bitter and unhappy about it. A healthy marriage is a blessing, that very very very few people have the capacity to create, PERIOD. Including most of those who want it.
I never had girlfriend or married..when love found me I never had the nerve to ask..And the feeling was so great, I figured it was not gonna get any better than that!!
i get what she is saying, i got married when i was 22 & stayed married for 7 yrs. i have been a few long term relationships & i had so many issues, i always felt like i had to be with someone, i was searching for someone to love me & make me happy. now at 40 i realized that i am a complete person & i have to find happiness within myself, so i no longer have that need. when i was in relationships i was never happy, because i am a person with strong opinions & i don't like being told what to do or having to compromise about things that i want to or don't want to do. i was unhappy because i wasn't being myself
What is marriage though really but a formality? She may not be the 'marrying kind' but she's been with the same man since the 80s. There's a commitment there to one man and its been over 30 years! That's marriage in a way isn't it? Committing to somebody you love and being in it for the long haul.
Expectations change when you get married on both ends. Your choices become for the marriage and not for yourself.

Well, unless you are a Christian and believe these things this argument isn't valid. I'd much rather judge someone on what kind of person they ARE and how they treat others. Are they kind? Are they loving? Do they do good things in the world? I wouldn't judge someone based upon whether they were married or not. Its dangerous to be so judgemental.
I think being a good person is the MAIN (and if not) ONLY reason why you should be allowed into heaven (if heaven/hell is even real). I am a believer in God don't get me wrong but I think having a beautiful soul no matter what you believe in should grant you into heaven. Oprah gave over a million pounds to charity and she never boosts or even speaks about it. She is a teacher to others, a positive influence, a black woman from a modest background who has acquired a successful career in TV. I think Oprah is amazing and if there is a heaven then Oprah has her place reserved. She is a beautiful person and has touched people's lives in a positive way.
Most people that prefer not to be married do so mainly, because they do not want to be accountable to someone other that themselves. I believe in marriage and look at it differently. I chose to be married not to be accountable, but to have a helpmate and be a helpmate, and have children.
Good for you but everyone don't want that.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Very well put.
Flexibility and vulnerability in your heart, mind and spirit takes a toll that some people will not pay, or cannot pay.
being single is a good decision in life...
Definitely, for some people.
Peaceful & abundant.
Love her. And she answered so gracefully and thoughtfully despite the rude question
The question wasn't rude, it was just a question. There are times she can be a bit rude and insensitive while interviewing someone.
Oprah Winfrey, spoke the truth as she is very transparent.Marriage alone does not make life complete.👌👍🌹❤️
She is too tough for most men !
+Taiyou536 yea... she'll be the man in the relationship
Maybe she doesn't need a partner.
+Lara Orane she has a partner, Stedman Graham. Shes been with him for decades, she just wont marry him because she doesn't want to.
Taiyou536
Exactly and that is the real reason she is not married
So I guess her lusting and sinning is okay.
Smh
women who make over 100,000--only 30 percent of them are married.
men who make over 100,000-70 percent of them are married.
richer a woman is, the less likely she will ever marrry
+Michael Smith Very interesting statistic :)
Sadly this a byproduct of women's lib--the more successful a woman is, the less likely she will ever marry. They get too busy for dating. They have money, so they have no place in their lives for a man. Success has its price.
+Michael Smith I disagree with you. I think that a lot of women get married because they are trying to cling onto a guy to share wealth with. A woman who is well off by herself has the choice to not have to deal with a guy if she doesn't want to Also, a woman with money has the money to take care of herself into old age. I don't think that it's a "byproduct" of anything. In fact, what does marriage really mean? You could be "married" to someone and they could be fucking tons of people on the side and be distanced from you. What is marriage, a piece of paper? A piece of information on a computer? Entitlement to someone's health benefits?
What's to disagree with? Women find success often delays their marriage. They age out of the market. Read Lori Gottlieb's book
MARRY Him
Michael Smith Success delays marriage on both men and women, and they both age out of the market. Only difference is you get sugar daddies, but never sugar moms, that's all there is to ti!
Oprah is a lovely lady inside and out. She is very kind and thoughtful and generous. Beautiful person. And very intelligent. God bless you Oprah! 😘❤️
Oprah is an inspiration i really miss catching bits of her show before my mom went to work
I agree. With all the stats and divorces and married friends who pretend to be happy but they’re not. And from my own personal experience marriage is not for everyone 👍
I like how she was able to take their joke and use it back on them, keeping calm at the same time
That why culture plays such an important role ...!

well said mam!!!
There’s no other woman I admire the most as compared to Oprah. Everything about her authenticity, living the truest highest, truest expression of herself gives me life. I’ve found myself in this space many times agonizing over the idea of yet to be wedded only because I think, by societal standards I feel pressure to be. Over time this idea has deluded me and gradually faded away. As I entered my early thirties, I find myself just fine with being where I’m at. Fine with everything because I had to be honest with myself by askin ‘is it really the marriage I desire or life of stability?’
What a stupid comment
Life Of Stability 👏🏽👏🏽
just curious how you are doing, i have found myself in a similar situation relating to this comment
I'm my own person👍🏾💖😄
She rose above and beat the odds she chose to respect herself gaining notoriety, and wealth.She didn't stumble by wayside and crumble a force to be reckoned with .
She has never been approached by a guy higher than her , it's that simple ...
I can't be the only one who thinks she shaded the f*** out of them at 0:52!?! lol read!!
Looks like some of them started waking up from their Indian dream.
@Bruce Wayne The way modern middle class Indians do it, where it's more like 'parentally approved speed dating' and the bride / groom both have a veto, makes perfect sense to me. I wouldn't do it - but it seems like a valid way to find someone for life.
Leora Cho she shaded no one. It was the undiluted truth.
@@kaypandey7221 AMEN
One thing I have in common with Oprah is that I've not been married either. I think she felt put on the spot by the question and hadn't really thought about how to easily answer a question like that.
Some people here on the comments page are quite cruel and rude though I can see how some are questioning her sincerity due to her not so smooth response (unlike on her shows)
but still a great answer...for being put on the spot...I would say!!!
OPRAH ANSWERED PERFECTLY!!!
I like your comment
Two years ago my husband left me for another woman and i was dis-organise during that period, in search for help on how to get him back i was decieved by so many fake spell casters until i meant this great genuine who helped in bringing back my husband and restored love and peace into my family, i will be forever greatful to him. Contact him for any kind of problem, wealth making, looking for a genuine relationship, need pregnancy, want to be famous, need good job, need protection, etc. contact him for in him you will find sincerity and trust Also you can whatsApp his private line: (+2348073359108) Am great and you are indeed a blessings.
Spoken like a true Aquarian queen!! ♒️ 👸🏾 🙌🏾
THAT VOICE AND LAUGH of theeeE interviewer ON THE STAGE. Ahhh what a singular double whammy 💃👍🎭
I 100% believe not everybody should be married...coz its not a joke .
She's not the marriage kind. Marriage is a gift and some people are built for it and some are not. I AM built for marriage. And so I AM able to flourish in marriage. It is an life that serves me well.
The reason she never married is because she is a lesbian, and sure just come out and admit it. Gayle her long time lover,is the love of her heart.
jollysincere Just because a woman choses not to marry does not make her a lesbian. That is an insult to lesbians. (and heteros too)

The insult, is the charade Miss Winfrey plays on a simple minded public.
jollysincere It's not anybody's business what she is, gay straight or Bi. Folks need to tend to their own bedrooms. If she is and wants to come out, she will. It does not add or take away from the gay community and none of my gay friends care. What kills me is that people always feel like a person has to 'explain' to the world who they are and who they love.

Your right,it is no one's business! what her sexual habits are.But since she has appointed herself as the healer & mother provider for the masses and the needy, then she really should fess up and stop this silly charade that she & Tyler Perry are doing pretending to be something they are not.
She is gave correct answer
WOW OPRAH
If the difference between living together and marrying is just a piece of paper, why do so many couples that won't marry say that if they had gotten married would be divorced by now? How does that piece of paper make you divorce when without it you stayed together.
I highly recommend this anyone, if you have inner feelings you cant resist then get married. Its better to marry than to burn in lust and passion.

U can live together..Oprah does just that
I love the wisdom from Oprah “I love being my own woman “! I have great respect for her, so honest and loving.
Thank you.
Perfectly stated
Too many bad things happen within a marriage so no way I'll deal with that.
Her right!
Nice responded and answers ma. You have to gocuse with things.
Well replied
You go Oprah ! Tell her like it is. Some cultures are so old fashioned and think you have to be married to be happy. Arranged marriages are barbaric and demeaning in my view.
Wow! I never knew she wasn't married.
There are many pros and cons to being married, just as there are pros and cons to being single. Marriage does not necessarily mean you “give up yourself” as Oprah put it. There are many successful marriages where each person keeps their individuality. And yes, a big no to arranged marriages.
🔴 *Some people are born to be a faithful spouse and wonderful family leader☝🏾And others are born to be a single star, self-controlled, and shining their light for the whole world* 🙏🏾🙂
I prefer the latter, but it can be really hard to deal with feelings of loneliness, or you need a companion. In this day of age, you have to be really strong in faith and connected with Gd to be able to LOVE UNIVERSALLY.
Nice
I was there watching her live! She was mesmerizing!
Oprah,Oprah!!!!you are something....I admire you for who you are!!!!
You are so right about that.
Marriage is à blessing even if the husband is not treating you like a Queen. Get o er it and treat yourself like a queen .💕💕💕💕 Being à mom is the most wonderful experience in life!!!💕💕💕💕
She has a relationship with a man for many many years. I think he isn't poor either.
Super answer
Pure love to Oprah ❤❤❤
