In order to be happy there are several valid reasons to savor the single life. These are ten advantages which might decide you to choose for a single life:
FREEDOM
When you are married you need to make compromises with your spouse. You need to pay attention to the wishes and desires of the one you married. In case of a single life you are your own boss and you can decide by yourself what you want to do or not to do. You can make appointments with your friends without asking permission or you can go to the movie, theatre, a pub or any place your like.
TRAVELLING
Making the choice of your destination is a lot easier. You can decide where you want to go and you don't need to search for a compromise with someone else. If you like to travel you can decide to go and even in the period you want if your work allows this.
WATCHING TELEVISION
If you live together with someone else it is sometimes difficult to make compromises for watching the television program you want. It is often a problem when there is a football match on television. How many problems didn't arise between couples in such situation? Often women want to watch a movie or their favourite soap and men prefer to watch sports or news programs. If you are single there are no problems, you make your own choice.
YOUR CAREER
It is easier for singles to make progress in their career. This has nothing to do with the capacities of the person but singles don't have to worry about their family life and it easier for them to devote to their job. Married couples need to find a good work/family balance and the consequence is often a choice between promotion and having a happy family life. Singles can easier focus on their job and if they need to make a business trip they don't have responsibilities to someone else.
HOUSEWORK
Singles can choose when they want to clean their house, setting the table and washing dishes, cooking, laundry, dusting and every other activity which need to be done. They have freedom and choose the timing they prefer.
ENTERTAINMENT
Singles can go out when they want and have more time to meet friends. It is easier to organize some activities and they have also more time to exercise.
SLEEPING
You have your own bed and you don't need to share this with someone else. When you have a free day and you don't need to work you can sleep as long you want and nobody will bother you.
MONEY
All the money you save is your money and you decide what you want to do with your money. If you want to buy something you can do this or if you want to spend this for making travels, you decide and nobody can forbid that. Your only concern is that your budget allows to make these purchases to get out of debt.
COMPUTER
Singles can work with a computer when they want. Nobody can interrupt them. If they like to spend some time for writing there is no partner who will always ask questions or suggest for spending some time together. If singles want to chat with their friends they can do it on the moment they decide.
FLIRTING
If you are married you have responsibilities to your spouse and flirting is not a good idea. Being single gives you the freedom with whom you want and you don't irritate someone else. There is no jealous spouse and you can make fun with whom you want.
Every lifestyle has its advantages and disadvantages. Some people prefer being married and having children but some disadvantages of this lifestyle are advantages of a single life. Everyone has to decide which lifestyle they prefer. Savoring a single life means enjoying more freedom.
Enjoy your single life!

There are definite advantages to enjoying being single. You often don't appreciate it at the time until after you are married and you look back to the time when you were your own boss without a spouse to consider.

One should enjoy their single life to the fullest. If they do, then they can enjoy married life or the equivalent just as much when that time comes.
I plan on staying single for a while.....traveling is a big part of it, but mostly its because I do better by myself.
All great reasons to be single!!! (*sigh* lol).
Great article. I have known too many people who wasted their time worrying over what they did not have that they could not enjoy being single.
I love the single life and at this point in my life I wouldn't have it any other way.
Hard to dispute some of your points... are you a single person who speaks from experience? Cheers! Regina
I am 100% behind you Erik. Your article makes a lot of sense.
