ShengLian's opinion

In my opinion,I find that singlehood is beneficial in some ways,but it is not the best way out.
Firstly,even though we get to enjoy more freedom (social life especially) when we are single,how about the joy we would have when spending time with our loved ones,or even our children?Yes,we do get to go out and spend more time with friends,including friends of the opposite sex.However,being together with your loved ones are equally as enjoyable and in my opinion,one would get double the happiness.Hence,singles are less happy than married couples.
Secondly,as we are single,some of us would tend to develop negative thoughts about marriage,since we are seeing divorce rates on the rise in the recent years.We would then feel "safe" that we are not married and do not have to face the difficulties and troubles marriage can bring,such as adultry,and lack of sexual pleasure.Although this may be true,this is only just a one-sided point of view.We do have the choice of making ourselves happy in life after marriage.So,it's always more enjoyable to start a family.
Lastly,when we are single,we may be able to concentrate more on our careers,so as to enjoy life as we retire.On the other hand,we can still be working while devoting some of our time to our family.We should strike a balance between work and family matters in order to attain the higher level of happpiness.Therefore,we can then be more happy as we get married.
In conclusion,I feel that singles are happy,but only at certain points of their lives,especially if they are able to strike a balance between work and social life.
