Contrast four myths of singles with their realities
What will be an ideal response?
The student should indicate that myths of singles include 1. They are self centered, 2. They are financially secure, 3. They are happier than married people, and 4. They do not want to marry. However, in reality, singles are more involved with friends and their communities than married people are. They are less financially secure than married couples, often because both spouses are employed. Additionally, they are more likely to be lonely, depressed, anxious, and stressed than married people, and most expect to be single only for a short period of time.
