Get married for the sake of being married - no.
Get married if you find that certain someone and want to marry him or her - depends.
There is no automatic "yes." There's a whole lot of automatic "no" and a few "maybe" but no automatic "yes." If there is an automatic "yes" you can bet it will end with a lot of drama and probably a lot of expense.
Don't write marriage off though. There's always a chance you'll find that person. Just don't try to force it to happen and wind up with a marriage that is worse than being alone.

Or as we Linux nerds like to say, upgrade only for a reason. Don't get the latest computer or phone just because it's the latest, if the computer or phone you are currently using is doing the job you want done and doing it well.
Same thing with a car. Same thing with a lifestyle. If what you have is working for you right now don't upgrade just because somebody told you that you should.

I prefer alone rather than getting married for the sake of being married. You have to be pretty sure the one is the person who will spend all the rest life with you. And I think it's harder than being alone. But, anyway, you don't have to feel like that. If God shows you the way. You could find your destined partner.
Agree, but with a caveat. The idea of a "soul mate" or "twin flame" is entirely pagan. And no, we cannot take applications of the lives of the patriarchs out of context when it comes to the subject of marriage. God HAD to provide spouses for the patriarchs because of His promises to them to provide Messiah through their line. There is no indication in Scripture that God has ONE AND ONLY ONE person out there for you.
So if you want to get married, get married, but like Lynx says, not for the sake of getting married only.
For the sake of getting married, and to someone who is Biblically qualified for the position? (also a believer, committed to marriage, a person of character, etc.) Yes.
The Bible says there are reasons to do this, like sexual purity. If you struggle with sexual purity in today's porno world, that's a good reason to marry (a qualified believer).
In times past, "love" didn't figure into it at all, or calculations of "the right person." Necessity, survival, or politics drove marriages. Love is action. Love is choosing to act in someone else's best interests. The emotional aspects follow.
