Different concept of marriage
between our parents and us
I want to say something different about the concept of marriage between our parents and us.
For our generation, cyber love, one-night stand, speed dating and flash marriage have been common in our mind. Flash marriage becomes a trend in our society. It is a new view to explain marriage. In this way, we can use the time to challenge the love. Besides this, flash marriage also has a great advantage: people can save the cost in dating, including time and money.
On the contrary, our parents have fairly conservative marriage view in general. “Establish line of business first, start a family then.” is their common sense. Our parents, once married, tend to take their responsibilities seriously. They think that love and marriage has a fundamentally different, which marriage means the duty. So they are cautious about marriage.
We could not judge which concept of marriage is correct. When you want to get married, whether it is a quick decision or a careful consideration, you should treat yourself fine; keep the family’s responsibilities; do well to the society.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. I like this sentence, "When you want to get married, whether it is a quick decision or a careful consideration, you should treat yourself fine; keep the family’s responsibilities; do well to the society." Yes, we should take the ownership of our own marriages. No matter which way we choose, we should live a comfortable life as well as treat our lovers best whole our life.
ReplyDeleteI cannot agree with your last sentence more!
ReplyDeleteDifferent people have different concept of love and marriage, even in the same generation. But it will be enough if all of us can "treat ourselves fine; keep the family’s responsibilities; do well to the society",
