Hello family, i believe everyone is doing well today. I'm more than glad to participate in this contest today and I will be defending these 3 statements

1. YOU WILL STAY HAPPIER IF YOU ARE UNMARRIED.
2. MONEY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN LOVE.
3. VOTES ARE NOT GUARANTEED

You will stay happier if you are unmarried.

Happiness is actually a state of mind. But the surrounding too has a part to play and for me, unmarried people are happier.

It is indeed true that you will stay happier if you're unmarried. Honestly, I love being married but marriage too comes with it's own problems, challenges and responsibilities. But while you're unmarried, here are some benefits you get to enjoy.

First, you can focus more on your career as compared to being married where you will have a lot of other responsibilities. This is also because you are free to put in long hours of work or even work on the weekends or do anything that is needed for you to be successful especially for those working in time-demanding fields like medicine or law.

Also, you can do whatever you want, whenever you want and there isn't that much freedom in marriage where you may want to do something and your partner is against it.

Again, you have more control over your money because there isn't a partner who you may need to run some expenses by them first or explain some things concerning money. Being unmarried also means you can use that free time for solitary fun and even self-improvement like you will be forced to do some things like cooking, laundry, cleaning for yourself. Now let's go back to finances, it's really fun celebrating anniversary, going out for dates etc but think of how much money you’ll save because you are single and won't need to pay for overpriced dinners or buying presents for birthdays, Valentine's Day, Christmas and the rest.

Being married can be a whole vibe, fun and a really happy environment but it equally has its advantages and disadvantages. Domestic violence is now very common and many people are living unhappy lives because they are trying to avoid divorce or for the sake of their kids. You might not always have someone to talk to because you're unmarried but there are plenty of other things you can do or will enjoy by being unmarried so you will be happier if you stay unmarried.

Money is more important than love

No hard feelings but I support this fully. As far as I'm concerned its God first, money second then love. Maybe money can't buy happiness, love or somethings but there are plenty of things money CAN do that are very very important. There is no way you can survive on this planet without money.

Money is just one of those things that makes the love sweeter as it not only helps you take care of those you love, make them happier, show more care but also provides a comfortable life. In our world of today, it dictates how your life "flows". You must have seen people in huge debts who are chasing money just to make ends meet. That alone tells you money is important. Money can also create you certain opportunities, gives you education, mobility, freedom in some areas and a lot more. With money you can also help others. To an extend, money can buy you health through good food, providing health care needs, medicines, hospital bills, pay doctors etc, many people have died because money wasn't available to pay for some little treatment.

Mind you I'm a big fan of true love, soul mates or just love in general. But it's really I know how important love is, its advantages and all that but as far as I'm concerned more is more important than love.

Votes are not guaranteed

Most if not all contest on steemit use this particular phrase and I'm in full support of it. If SC01 votes are guaranteed to users, then a lot of people won't put any effort on this plartform. Imagine a situation where steemcurator 01 votes are guaranteed, then some people might just post anything without much effort because they are sure to recieve curator 1 or 2 votes. But knowing that these votes are not a guarantee, they will put in more effort and even if you don't get the votes now, you'll be encouraged to continue posting quality content knowing that as you stay active and create quality posts, you'll definately get support from steemcurator 01 which is a huge encouragement and reward for your work.

There are also some rules or guidelines that you need to follow to get these votes like

• Not mentioning the curators
• Be in a club (club5050, club75 or club100)
• Use the right hashtags.
• Quality content( use of markdowns, clarity of language, steemexclusive, no plagiarism, certain number of words).
• A little bit of luck.
• Consistent/active user.

Why a little bit of luck because the platform has a vast number of users and the votes are limited. So no matter how many quality posts are made, every single one can't be rewarded.

Thanks for stopping by 🌷
