So?
Your mom has already made her choices for her life. This is your turn.
She has the right to ask you to follow house rules, to pay rent, or to chip in on expenses as long as you're living at her house.
She has no right to tell you to marry.
Clearly many people are happy as single people. Clearly many people enjoy being married. But it's not like you should run out and marry just any old person just to be married.
If one day you'd like to meet the right guy and settle down into a family, tell her that. But marry someone just to be married? That's a pathway to disaster.
