The Advantages and Disadvantages of Marriage
I think there are advantages and disadvantages to being married. The advantages include:- Unconditional love, stability and consistency—You don’t have to worry about dating, breaking up, etc. There is one person you love and will love you for the rest of your life.
- Lower cost of living—A married couple tends to have more free time and/or more money because the cost and work of a household are shared by two.
- Confidence—It is very reassuring to know that there is a person who loves you and only you no matter what and who lives to be with you. That sort of commitment can give you a tremendous comfort and confidence.
- The potential for children—Inside a stable marriage it is possible and extremely easy to have and raise children.
- You are locked in with a single person—If you like to be with a different person every week, marriage is not for you.
- You give up a great deal of freedom—Every decision will now be a compromise between two people.
- You are going to have to work to maintain and build your human qualities—Trust, loyalty, commitment, kindness, patience, etc. are not easy. You have to work at these skills every day in a marriage to become better at them. If you are not willing to put in the effort, you will fail in the marriage.
