Married or Single

Do you like to be free? Well, you don’t have to get married if you want to be free. Most people don’t know about how much effort a committed relationship takes. When I talk about marriage, I feel that I should mention responsibility, freedom, and life expenses, which I think are the most important things that you have to think about before you decide to get married.

In my opinion marriage has a lot of responsibility that makes it too hard. These include raising children and taking care of them, being responsible of your wife and your life expenses. In fact, most of my friends who got married early got bored because they didn’t live their life because they felt that they couldn’t even talk to any girl because of their wives.

I’m sure that everyone likes to be free. However, you can’t be free if you are married man. For example, when my brother wanted to come to the US to visit me, his wife refused to let him leaves her alone. Actually, my brother told me that he wishes that he doesn’t get married to get his freedom back. Also, I think that if you like any beautiful girl, you won’t be able to date her if you are married man.

Finally, I think it is a big deal that you can’t afford the life expenses if you are married such as, rental expenses, children clothes and other stuff, your wife needs and your house needs. Actually I’ve met a friend here in America who’s working as a waiter and gets $2 per hour. That friend told me that he is suffering from life expenses that he can’t buy his wife’s birthday gift.

In conclusion, I prefer to live as a single man, until I feel that I can make a serious relationship because I respect the word marriage. My advice to any man who wants to get married is to mull it over before doing it.
