Marriage Life is definitely better than forever alone!

A response to Marriage and Single Life by Sir Francis Bacon

Central argument:  Marriage life is better than a single life.

As Sir Francis Bacon wrote in his essay, Married and Single Life, I agree with him that married life is certainly better than single life. This theory of marriage life being better than a single life is shown throughout generations and experiences. The most simple and daily one that is the closest is my parent’s marriage. Another example that proves the statement is from a movie A Walk To Remember that was originally a romance novel by Nicholas Sparks. Lastly, if marriage life is so horrible then why would many, an increasing number of people, still went ahead and get married. No one would repeat the mistakes of others that they have seen.    

                My family consists of my mother, my father, my older and younger sister, and I. We have a wonderful household where we share house chores and help each other go through another day in our lives.  My mom worked with my dad and that was how they met. Not very long after that, they got married. Every now and then, whenever I go back home, I see both my mom and my dad trying to remind each other about things that needed to be done (they both are getting forgetful). That alone just shows how much they need each other just to carry on their daily lives. It is almost like they are two clock pieces that fit perfectly together and without one another they won’t be able to work properly.

                Another example that portrays how one would be better living in a marriage life rather than a single life is from a movie that brings tears into my eyes every time I watch it, A Walk To Remember. In the story, Jamie Sullivan was living perfectly fine without love because he has God with her. Then she met Landon Carter, who changes her view on life and start dating him. They both are madly in love throughout the plot. However, Jamie is sick with Leukemia and she was dying. This is the main reason why she did not want to date anyone but she could not resist Landon’s love for her. They both were perfect for each other. They filled each other’s holes. They were meant to be. Later on, knowing that Jamie is dying, Landon asks her to marry him. This just shows how marriage even not ever lasting is important. Landon would rather and a dead wife than living without having to marry the women he love the most.

                     Lastly, if marriage was so bad then why would anyone gets involve in a marriage. Surely, no one would ever repeat other people’s mistake. Just like when you see someone getting burn by a flame, you would not go and touch the flame. Even though some may say that marriage comes along with divorce, it does not always work that way. Just like life, you can never predict anything when it comes to life. Just do the best for the present and hope for the best for the future.

                Overall, marriage has to be better than single life. It shows that there will always be another person who will be there for you no matter what happens. Love can change people’s lives, as I have heard, and it leads to marriage that every one hopes for. Think of it this way, if marriage is so bad then why anyone would even dream of getting married. Marriage life is definitely better than single life.
