Married Life and Single Life

Today, in China, the parents always require that their children get married as soon as possible when the children have already been over 25, in contrast,more and more teenagers select single life, and they give the family up. In fact, the single life brings us different style of the life and people enjoy it very much. The single life and married life differ in terms of freedom, expense, and feeling.
In China, a poem which talks about the status of the freedom is famous. It says the love and life, both of them are very necessary for human’s life; however the freedom is more important than either. All over the world, young people need much free time, they don’t long to go into the marriage which is like the grave of freedom. After work, people obtain more free time to go anywhere and do anything they want. For example, they go to watch basketball game at 7:00pm and the team which they support wins the game and makes them very excited; therefore they drink and dance for celebration in the club till 12:00pm even 2:00pm. Whereas the married person must refuse invite from their friends because they need to take care of the family,by cooking dinner for children, and doing housework.
Expense is the second problem for people to face. Single and married people both deal with it. .Single people earn money by themselves and just need to pay for themselves. The basic expense of single life is much lower than married people who usually have more responsibility, such as children’s tuition, car insurance and money for emergency. More pressure is put on the married people. Saving money is the second point. From the first problem, an obvious thing is that single life doesn’t usually have such a complex situation as married life; therefore family people need higher financial capability.

Finally, not only des married life differ in terms of freedom of expense but also in benefits. Although the free time of single life gives people much happiness, being lonely still becomes the worst thing for them. After every happy, sad, and crazy night, especially when they don’t have jobs to do and no friends stay with them, they go back home, lay on the bed, and think why they are alone and eager to find a close friend to talk with from inside. While the man who has wife or husband is better, every night they can share the interesting or sad things that happen during the days and get encouragement or solace from each other. It makes people more optimist and keeps a perfect emotion for everyday.
In the future, single life might become a trend, because young people think they have long time to enjoy their married life, but only have several years of being single; however, the reason why people select different ways to spend their lives is to enjoy themselves. Neither single nor married life is absolutely correct or wrong. Please remember one sentence, “the best one is what is fit for you!”
