Other term for life as a single

What concise term is there for the state of being single/not being married? Christians use "single blessedness" but I'm casting for something that doesn't sound religious.

Sentence that needs revising: This lesson compares married and single life.

"Single life" is ugly.

Thanks!

'Single blessedness' sounds ridiculous in any case. 'Single life' is perfectly fine and quite standard. This lesson compares married life and single life.
