Married but free..

Yesterday, I visited a friend from Msia who is visiting her husband in London. We haven't seen each other for more than two years. We were single then but she has a family now. Seeing her in action, I mean cooking, tending her kid, looking and acting so much like a wife, mother and housewife made me think of how many of my friends' lives have changed and mine still hasn't. I like my life now. But is it just possible to have the same freedom as being single if you were to get married? Will you be missing it much (the freedom)? Do my friends who have built new lives miss their single freedom they had before? I have never asked them nor have I ever dared to. I don't want to be responsible to waking up the demons lying low underneath their beds of marital bliss. Perhaps 'freedom' when single and once married changes one's perspective into a 3-dimensional turn. But what if you look at it as gaining more freedom once you get married. Like, if you have freedom when you are single and if freedom is a unit, then surely marriage means you have 2 freedoms instead of 1, ie. more freedom: single + single = 1 freedom+1freedom=2 freedoms. But for a couple to achieve these 2 freedoms, there are constraints to the equation that needs to be adhered. 1+1=2 is subjected to each of the singles to recognise that these 2 freedoms need to be respected but within the boundaries of the marriage institution, then and only then will these freedoms be enjoyed fully. But then again, this is just my theory ...
