Compare Single Life and Married Life

Whenever I played soccer with my uncle who is older than me by four years, he used to buy some foods for all soccer teammates after working out, so my members of soccer team loved him so much; however, after he got married with his girl friend, he started to attend the soccer meeting just once a month. We were getting disappointed with him. After he explained about his married life in detail, we finally could understand the difference between single life and married life. Today, when we compare single life with married life, these two lives differ in terms of a solution for loneliness, privacy, and economic life.

First, one of the differences between single life and married life is how they solve a problem like loneliness or isolation. In single women’s case, they are likely to talk to a lot of friends, just as they are free to spend money that they have saved by going shopping. These things are a wonderful antidote to stress. Similarly, in single men’s case, they can attend some groups such as skiing club, swimming club, and meeting for making ceramic art to solve feelings of isolation and loneliness; however, married people already have fellowship with their spouses almost anytime they want it. For example, if one of spouse has some problems from outside, his partner can be useful as an advisor by suggesting something that will be beneficial. Another example is if married people have newborn children, their stress from their work place can be removed by seeing cute babies.

Another difference between single and married life is how they protect privacy. In Korea, single people have chance to live alone after getting a job, just as they are free to do everything in their own space. For example, they can bring friends to their home even though the time is too late, just as they can take naps and play games by eating some food any time they want it because they don’t need to have interference from anyone; in contrast, in Korea, married people used to live with parents in the same house, so they couldn’t enjoy the privacy of their own home. Unlike formers years, these days married people live in their own house without parents, but they still have an insufficiency to protect privacy because of sharing their house. For instance, whenever they have spare time they help each other with cooking, cleaning and taking care of children.

One Final difference is how they arrange their economic life. Not only are single people likely to spend money on something relating to friends but single people also tend to buy everything within unlimited pocket money. For example, if a single person happens to watch some commercials about brand-new auto, they might buy that car within unrestricted spending money because their plans for the future seem to be changeable until they succeed in finding their true love; On the other hand, not only are married people more careful economically and socially than singles, but married people can also face future realities. For instance, although one spouse wants to buy something that he has considered for long time, he can’t get it by himself because married people tend to share household expenses and save money to plan for upcoming retirement, childcare, and so on.

As you can see the differences between single and married life are in terms of how they solve problems like solitude or aloneness, and how they keep their privacy, and how they plan their financial life for the future. In my opinion, I believe that both lives have respective advantages, but I feel married life is better. In married life, you can have double incomes, a home and a future to share with your partner, just as you can go out with kids to the picnic and have fun together that is really exciting. In conclusion, if you have no family, no kids, no companion, and nobody to take good care of you, your future might be awful.
