Compare Single Life and Married Life

Recently, there is an interesting thing happening in my family with two of my cousins. One of my cousins was married two years ago and he had a baby last year, and the younger one did not marry yet. One day, they drank with their friends outside. And they made a deal: my older cousin told his wife that he will drink with my younger cousin and then he can back home later. If his wife asked my younger cousin is her husband drinking with him, then he would say “yes.” After 10 o’clock, the older one’s wife called my younger cousin, “Is my husband drink with you?” And he said, “Yes, he is drinking with me.” But the funny thing is my older cousin drinks a lot and he forgot the deal. Then, he told his wife he was drinking with his friends. Finally his wife saw through the deceit. It’s kind of funny and it also showed us that single life and married life are very different. Single life and married life differ in terms of mentality, activities in free time, and financial.
Firstly, single and married person’s spirits differ in that single person do not have much pressure from family and social, while married person have more pressure from family and social. Single person can do whatever they want and needn’t think about families too much. But married person are different, they need to think about their families more, they need to care for the family members all the time. For example, my older cousin just had a baby, and he needs to take care of his daughter special in the evening. It’s very hard and hardship. So married person have more pressure on family. On the other hand, my younger cousin just needs to care for himself and needn’t work that hard to support house and car, etc.
Secondly, single person and married person have different in terms of what they do in free time and where they go on weekend. Single person usually do something they want, exciting, and special. For example, my younger cousin usually goes to club with his friends and drinks a lot. And on weekend, he goes hiking and snowboarding and has a little travel by himself. But the married person may have narrower space than single person. They do chores, housework, and don’t always go outside on weekends. For example, some married man want to exercise with their friends, but their wives disagree, women think husbands should stay with their wife and children. On the other side, my younger cousin can do anything he wants. One day, he went skiing with his friends, after skiing they played roller coaster and then they went a friend’s home and played poker the whole night. He can do every crazy thing, he wants and has no wife to tell him “No”!
Finally, single and married life’s differ not only in spirit and free time, but also in financial. Single person have less pressure from family, so they can buy something they like, and also can save a lot of money. But married persons have more pressure from family, they need pay for food, clothes, and all kinds of living expenses including children’s tuition, etc. One married person has two children. One day, he went shopping with his wife and children. His wife wanted to buy a suit of cosmetic, so he bought it for her. Later, he bought a new MP3 and a new phone for his children. The reason is the girl said her MP3 was broken and her brother thought it was not fair, so he bought one for both of them. These things often happened but he didn’t buy anything for himself. On the other side, a young single man went shopping and just bought a pair of useful shoes. He saved a lot of money and got what he wanted.
In short, the differences between single life and married life have three aspects, mentality which shows different public has different pressure. Private space, which let us know, married and single people have different life. Financial tell us that two kinds of populations have difference money issues. People should get married when they are mature enough and have more social experience. In my opinion, people should get married when they have steady income and social status. These will safeguard happiness.
