If what is meant by enjoying the good things God has made lawful, such as food, clothing, and the like, then there is no difference between a married woman and an unmarried one in this regard, for Allah says: "Say, 'Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has produced for His servants and the good things, pure and lawful, from [His] provision?'" (Qur’an 7:32). However, if what is meant is enjoying what is unlawful, such as adultery, then it is absolutely forbidden, for Allah says: "But let those who find not [the means for] marriage abstain [from sexual relations] until Allah enriches them from His bounty." (Qur’an 24:33).
