                                             Being Single and Married                                                              
  People can’t live alone because of their creation. They need someone every time. Therefore, marriage is an important factor on human life. It has changed people’s lives. It has positive effects on people life. At the same time, marriage can affect people negatively. When you get married, you change your habits which you have in your single life. As a result, being married and being single have differences. Three important differences between being married and being single are freedom, responsibility and companionship.
   To begin with, it is clear that freedom is one of the differences between single people and married people. In the single life, people don’t have limitations. Entertainment is at the forefront in the single life. They come together with their friends any time and they can do what they want. If they want, they can stay out until midnight. In contrast, in married life, people can’t live freely. Partners get permission from each other to do something or go anywhere. If they have children, they are not independent. When they decide on something, they take into account their children.
  Secondly, single people differ from married people in that single people have much less responsibilities. Responsibilities are against themselves in single life. They don’t have to be bold for anyone or anything. They can take the time for themselves. For example, they can spend their leisure time to learn different languages or to do different things which they are interested in. Also, they can feed pet at their homes freely. In contrast, married people have a lot of responsibilities. Therefore, they are so busy and dependent. They have to earn money in order to take care of their families. At the same time, they have to play different roles in their lives. Otherwise, their families can ruin. Therefore, married people have much more responsibilities than single people.
  Lastly, single people and married people are different in that single people don’t have friend to share their feelings while married people have. Single people sometimes can feel alone. They need somebody to share their happiness and sadness. On the other hand, married people share everything with their husbands or wives. Unlike single people, they can feel confident as emotional.                                                
  To summarize, single and married life have advantages and disadvantages. Consequently, being single and married are different from each other in terms of freedom, responsibility and companionship. In my opinion, being married is better than being single because you can find your husband or wife on your side every moment when you need.

  2. When you get married, you change many habits ''about yourself'' (revise it) which you have in your single life.
    It can be about you..
