The Advantages of Being Married

Nowadays, many people do not want to get married as much as their parents generation did. They want to be single. In last few decades, the number of singles has remarkably increased. However being married has much more benefits than being single. The three advantages of being married are emotional stability, family and finances.
The biggest advantage of being married is an emotional stability. First, people who got married have their own family as shelter for their social life. A lot of people are having a hard time in their work places ,and sometimes there are too much hazard to endure. The home and family gives comport zone and energy to restore. Also, love is one of strong advantages from being marriage. For instance, people who are single have chance to have lovers, however their love is not endurable for life time. On the other hand, being married, their love is committed.
The other advantage from being married is to be a family. All of people have born and grown in family which was formed by their parents. First, married people have life long partners, spouses. The marriage gives togetherness and role as husband and wife in family. They have to have responsibility and they will be in a same boat forever. Second, marriage is chance to be a part in spouse’s family. They could have new parents, brothers and sisters. Third, they could have children. If people have children, then they could learn how their parents have lived for them. To be a parent gives enormous advantage in their life and raises person to be more than they could do before they were.
Furthermore, there are magnificent benefits from the marriage. As first, married people have better condition than to be alone. They have double income, so they could be affordable then before they were. Also, they do not get necessarily same price of tax as one. They are assumed that they are sharing their expenses, so they live less expensively amount of money, even if single person makes same amount of money. Third, they are sharing that a house, car and food. They should pay less bill for basic living conditions. Therefore they make more money but spend less money.
All in all, there is a lot of advantages that people take from being married, such as mental advantages which is based on family and commitment love, and more financial merit than one. Most of all, in my opinion, to be a parent is biggest thing that they are blessed with marriage life.

Is it ever okay to lie? In which circumstances?


In my opinion, people have to control to lie. There are some reasons for that. First, if someone starts to lie, it will be getting bigger even he/she do it in good way. A lie makes another lie, andn it will do over again. Also, to lie to help others is not ever kay. Even someone tell a lie to help others, sometimes it could hurt others. To sum up, people should try to do not tell a lie even it is for helping others.
