Want to marry? I am a person who wanted it too. To be more precise, I was 36 and I decided to get married to a beautiful woman. You might ask me: “Why your marriage was so late?” It is difficult to answer because I have been dating many girls when I was younger, but I did not propose them. Why? Simply because I realized that I did not love them at all. Sad? Pretty much, but I am glad that I managed to find the love of my life on this website. Want to get to know my conclusions? Let’s do it.
Difference between married and unmarried life
Well, in general, the life of the single people and married people is similar, if we compare the level of happiness in each group. Meaning, there is no difference whether you are wearing a ring or not, you might be either happy or unhappy. A feeling of satisfaction by life is personal, and if you feel unhappy before marriage, you would rather not expect your husband to make you feel happy in the marriage. Also, if you think you are alone once married, the wife or husband will not help you feel better. It’s you to be responsible for the level of the joy in the life.
However, on the other hand, psychologists claim that the life of married couples is better in terms of economics. For instance, married people have support when they lose their job, or have no money to pay for rent, etc. Besides, the government supports married people more than singles.
Nevertheless, some of the widowers say they do not want to marry again and enjoy their lives. The research has shown that those people who divorced regret the fact they got married and do not search for a new marriage too.
But I can say that my life became brighter, more colorful, and easier when I got married. I love my wife so much, and the love for her has even multiplied since the wedding day.
