While you watch your single friends advance in their careers, yours might be hitting a few occasional bumps. Single people have the liberty to choose or change their career and grow in it. Not many married people, especially women, can do so. Married couples have to think of many things, like the nature of job, work timings, location, etc. The singles can devote more time to their work and are free to relocate for better job opportunities, whenever and wherever they like.

We just want to say that 'grass is always greener on the other side'.
