When it comes to the issue of companionship, however, marriage wins. Two people who love one another have ample opportunities to spend time together and to learn all there is to know about each other. So, less space and sharing a car result in cherished times spent together. Required trips to visit families are made more enjoyable because it becomes a moment during which two people are sharing an experience. Though single people have plenty of space and freedom, they sometimes long for the companionship that their married friends enjoy.
