Is being single more stressful than married life? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

The answer is probably different for everyone, but for me, my stress level was pretty much the same while being single and married until my wife and I had a couple of kids. We are both strong willed individuals with different opinions on how to handle certain situations involving the kids and that causes stress between us. As far as advantage/disadvantage, that would depend on what state you live in and how you feel about marriage in general.

Speaking for myself, the actual marriage ceremony was the best part. Being able to stand in front of family and friends and profess my feeling for someone else was a beautiful thing. Actually being married really has little effect on how I live my life day to day.

I would act the same and be as devoted to her whether we were bound by contract or not.

Everything in life has certain advantages and disadvantages. Married life is less stressful in certain aspects, especially when your partner gives you a caring shoulder to rest on, and helps you when your in need. Sometimes married life will be stressful for men as they are largely the money earners and have to make sure that they satisfy the needs of the family.

They may have to do extra work to ensure that the family will remain happy. At the same time being single cant be entirely advantageous. Many have stress due to lack of support,or due to loneliness,due to high pressures that they cant handle on their own.

The advantages of being single is that they can enjoy an almost care free life. No complaints, no criticism etc.

I would say that it all depends on your partner (husband or wife) and your personality. If you have a wife that gives you a headache everyday, being married is more stressful than being single. If you are single and want to be married because all of your friends are getting married, being single is more stressful.

We also have to think about the kids. If you are single or married, and have kids, there is going to be a lot of stress in your life. One advantage of being single is that you do not have to consult anyone when you are making decisions, like for example, moving to China or Brazil.

One advantage of being married is that if you always have someone next to you, on your side.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
