Many things that only a warm home can offer.

Some people think that because my family has many children, my parents don't pressure or urge me to get married and have kids. But my parents understand perfectly well that their son has many ambitions, his future plans haven't been fulfilled yet, and he wants the freedom to choose. Getting married and having children isn't my top priority right now.

Especially now that I've just completed a 10-year journey of acquiring more knowledge at universities in my chosen field, I understand myself better than anyone else. And I also recognize my responsibility to my family as my parents are entering their golden age.

Although I'm not married myself, I've been fortunate enough to encounter many different situations and marriages with varying degrees of complexity. Some people, after having children, find that the bond is no longer joyful, so they choose to separate amicably and quietly.

But there are also those who, after divorce, constantly insult each other, using social media as a means to attack their ex, forgetting all the promises of being together forever that were made just yesterday.

Such marriages, to some extent, made an unmarried person like me feel a little disheartened. But I haven't lost faith in happiness or marriage.

I still believe that getting married will help increase our happiness index in life. At least, a man with a wife and children will find a warm and comfortable home to return to after work.

For a single person like me, whether the space is big or small, beautiful or ugly, it's still just home. And a home has a kitchen for cooking, not just a warm hearth!

A home might only have the cheerful sounds of the TV or record player, but it can't offer the loving voice of a wife or the babbling of children. And a home isn't always filled with someone waiting for you, anticipating meals or simply a text message saying, "Remember to come home for dinner." That's what a true home is!
