Compare Being Married To Being Single

            I am going to compare the difference between being single and then being married. It is not that big of a difference because you still do the same kinds of things together. The first thing that I will tell you about is being single and the things that you can do that you can't do when you are married.
             One of the biggest differences is that when you are single you can go out with your friends and do anything that you want to do and no one has to know about it but you. When you are married you can not go out like that because you have to tell your wife what you did so she will not get mad at you for something that you did that night. If you are single you can stay out all night and come home the next morning if you want to. When you are married if you stay out later than you tell your wife you are going to she will be out looking for you and calling all of your friends to see if they know where you are. .
             Another big difference is when you are single you do not know who you are going to be with or where you are going to be staying at night. When you are married it is a good thing because you have someone to come home to and you know who you will be with and where they are going to be when you get home because you have someone to look after you and help you go on with your life. Also when you are married you have someone to help you clean the house and to cook for you sometimes, and it is a whole lot better when you have two paychecks to pay for things than it is when you only have one check to buy your things.
             When you are single it is harder on you because you have to go to the grocery store by your self and you have to do it all of the time and no one else will do it for you. When you are married your wife will go to the store and she knows what you need and she will get everything and usually never forget anything that you need. It makes your life a whole lot easier for both of you because you have to do half as much work because you have someone to help you do what you got to do around the house.
