Unmarried Daughter: I want to enjoy my 20s with hubby!

I've come to realise the power of a dual-income household. When you have a husband who works, it becomes easier to navigate through life because it is expensive, especially when you're young because you're not just spending your money on serious stuff. You also want to enjoy life and have fun. 

I can barely afford to go out after buying essentials.

I know myself so much better 

I'm a very independent person, but I'm also very co-dependent on my partner. Plus, I feel like I'm a much better person when I'm with him. And if he's got that effect on me now, while he's still a boyfriend, imagine if he was already my husband.  

Experiences 

I've been with my partner since I was 19, and we've grown together. He's helped me through a lot, and I'm talking a lot of emotional support. 

"When you're in your 20s, you feel like your world is crumbling down every day, and I can imagine having a husband to share that with feels like a part of that burden is taken from your shoulders."

So, if I've experienced this with my partner while we're not even living together, imagine if we were and were actually married.  

Essentially, what I'm saying is that I believe life is easier with a husband, especially in your 20s. 

With love,
