I always considered being single like a vacation from work! No boss to try and micro manage my actions, especially when two different sets of rules seemed to apply.
For breeding purposes a spouse is required, that does include a bit of pleasure. Of course some seem to breed incessantly with out a need for a spouse?
Married might mean you have a sandwich maker? unless they don't want to touch onions? If you have to do that part yourself? Might as well handle the whole deal and avoid the complaining?
With out a spouse you may be able to keep this thing called cash in your wallet? Or purse? some dudes are just as bad?
I can walk my dog in my back yard with out being expected to carry a walkie talkie to stay in contact with an excessively needed person.
The want and need list is 1/2 the size, and there is no debate on priorities? Of course specific to your own situation? One person's wants and needs might be most of the entire list?
No dealing with in laws you are not a fan of? Or their spawn? Gee, you're a moron, I have no idea why your spawn is too?
I worked at marriage for almost 30 years, since my retirement and divorce it is all good!

I never fight with me, spend my money behind my back, or cheat on me. And I can have sex with me whenever I want.
However, I am a flawed, forgetful human being, therefore I want to be married again.

It depends on the marriage and however each take being single.
there is no one answer for everyone.
Take this place for an example... . about everyone here agree's that most here are nutcases, and they have never seen a bigger collection of fakes, misfits and morons in one place,
and they are all single, except for the few married cheaters.

Men supported women and their children for over ten thousand years up till just recently in our history, and many still do.
and the women who work now, we have no idea if they will work till they retire, or get tired of it in their 50's, and just latch on to a man to take care of them and support them.
thats something a man my age has to be careful of.
anyway...if its a good and happy marriage, I think thats better than being single.

If "easier" is really the question, THAT answer is incredibly obvious I believe. But if you really want to know which is BETTER, or more DESIRED... THEN you'd have a debate.
Let's see...
To ALWAYS do whatever you want, when you want and for as long as you want to do it WITHOUT CONCERN FOR SOMEONE ELSES FEELINGS/DESIRES/NEEDS....
OR
To CONTINUALLY have another's feelings/desires/needs influencing your decisions/actions?
Do you really need someone to tell you which is EASIER?... REALLY? You're unsure which is "EASIER?"

Married 26 years...it takes a lot of work from both partners to stay on the same page.
Widow/Single almost 8 years, life is so much easier. Less commitment and responsibilities. I have freedom. I can breathe much easier now. (except for this bronchitis I'm dealing with...makes breathing tough at times)
If I had a choice...I would of loved to grow old with my man but it wasn't in God's divine plan. So I have to be thankful for this aftermath. I took awhile but I am happy.
Being single is easier...because it's only your butt that you take care of.

There's single, being in a relationship, and married.
Single is easiest but most people dislike it, they would rather have someone in their life they can depend on. Single means ALONE though. If you are messing around, being a player then you are bringing complications into your life bordering on relationship, except more drama.
Relationship can vary to degrees to be like marriage but you can also walk away semi-clean without notice, be able to make some of your own decisions, less accountability, unless you have kids together, then you may as well have been......
Married. Costs money to get out of.......some marriages are like relationships, some are really only friendships, some are hell

Single people don't have anyone to call 911 when they have a heart attack at 3am.
Your right - and that can be very scary - for anyone - but that can happen to you if your spouse or partner is away at work or your out in your yard alone doing some gardening and though there people going by - they don't know you just had a heart attack.
I just heard a new report of a women who was put on some drug, that killed her while she was sitting next to her husband in his car, she was laying back with her sun glasses on and he didn't know she passed away.
A women I've read had a pet pig who saved her life, the animal ran out side started running around the yard going in and out of the house thru some trap door - and a truck driver was watching thought it was strange - went to see what was going on and save the women's life.
Life is death - we are all going to pass someday.
As life goes on and on with or without significant others in our lives.
I am still someone without a man - I often felt like I was no one with a man.
Sometimes a women fades into being a mother and (house) wife, and if she also works outside of the home it's a lot of added stress - but what I didn't like is being held responsible for everything (right or what went wrong - not just in my life - but the lives of my loved ones.) When your expected to fill a role - and do everything right - and never be appreciated for your efforts, or having all your efforts condescended as wrong - in comparison to someone else - their mother, sister, and ex partner or spouse - well I have to say single life does has its benefits - when you are alienated and loss the love and respect of those you really tried to care for - when no matter what good you do for them - is always wrong - I really do believe I've earned the right to enjoy my marital status - as (divorce and now single).
As well I'm tired of additive personalities and co-dependent relationship - being the only one who sought council for all our families problems, is like going to alonon when its your partner or family member with the problem - kind of crazy isn't it? I'm not a perfectionist nor perfect but I am honest and straight foreword in my opinions - and very serious - so excuse me if I can't take a joke - when it is at my expense - I'd have to say - (no) - the single life is for me.

It's easier being single, than being married to the wrong person.
It's easier to be married to the right person, than to be single and lonely.
It's financially easier to be happily married, in most places.
There's more work involved with getting along with yourself, AND with another person, than just getting along with yourself.
It's easy to be married IF you accept all the things that go along with it, like the need to stay in touch and coordinate with your spouse. It's incredibly hard to be married, if you insist on remaining an independent, and entirely self-oriented individual.

This is from my thread "Why do people fear getting married?"
Everytime I have heard 'such and such is getting married' I think everyone standing in the room that heard the comment, their blood pressure rose, had some form of binge attack of whatever they were addicted to, needed to either get some air outside,or to sit down to relax...
These days, everyone lives in fear. But why?
I've come up with a list of WHYs....Which ones do you think make sense
[1] Expect to get divorced, so why bother
[2] Committment to one person scares them
[3] Being bonded with someone maritally will take away their personal space, which instead they want more
[4] They got used to having 1+ bootie calls and prefer this to having only one sex partner
[5] Don't want their minutes wasted, with surprise 'where are you' phone calls at 3am when they should be home in bed with their spouse
[6] Don't want to lose their 'Me and my friends Time' that they used to have for 2/3 of the day before they met you and got stuck
[7] The Marriage Trap is a bigger box than the trap they are already standing in, so what if they are single
[8] Being single is not as bad as being married
[10] Being married means sharing your car, your house, your bank accounts, your food, your bathroom..these days who wants to share those things anyway
[11] If you're a guy your wife may expect you to take out the trash and every week is too much for you
[12] If you're a gal your husband may expect you to put out every night of the week and once a month or every 6 months seems more normal
[13] and the list goes on....
