Topic: Being single has many advantages.

There are several advantages to be single. First, you control your own life. When you are single, you can go everywhere, make friends with everyone and do everything you want. For example, if you got married, you couldn't always do everything you want such as: hang out with friends, travel, etc. Because you had another person beside you, there was your wife / husband. Some people are selfish, they don't want their wives/hunsbands do anything without them. It causes a little inconvenience. Second, you just need to take care of yourself. Certainly, you would have to take care of your family if you got married. After finishing your work, you can't go everywhere except your home because you have a new family, especially women, they are more expectant to take care of children than men are. Imagine if you were a woman and had children, could you go shopping with your friend when your children were at home, and if you went, would you go comfortably? It'd be very difficult if you got married. In fact, people who get married are not happy at all. Last but not least, you can focus on your education or career. If you had a wife/husband, would you keep your mind on your work or studying all the time? In some situations, couples have troubles or divorce because their wife/husband go abroad to work or study usually. It makes people feel uncomfortable to do whaterver they want. In conclusion, you can be yourself when you are single.
