The actual stats suggest the odds are you will get divorced or remain together but be miserable.

Happy long lasting marriages are in the minority. If you can end up in that minority then congratulations, you’re lucky and it’s a good thing.

I doubt I will get married.

My view on marriage is that it can be a beautiful thing for the select few. Between the right two people, it can be a sacrament. But unfortunately it doesn’t always work out that way. And you have to be totally prepared for either or.

I think it would be very hard to find someone I trust enough, to marry.

My views on marriage is affected by my teacher in my university. My teacher said that marriage is so-so. Dont expcet too much from your marriage or you will get disappointed.

Don’t expect another person to make you happy. My aunt and uncle have been married for almost 40 years. They still adore one another. Of course they never had children either. I think children can add stress to a marriage

Loke, actually, Chinese people learned western marriage tradition during Chinese new cultural movement about one hundred years back.

It seems unneccessary.
People keep saying ā€œit’s a nice way to show the other person you love them and want to be with them foreverā€.

  1. You can’t know for sure you can still stand living with them 10, 20, 50 years from now. Don’t make promises you can’t keep.
  2. If someone needs you to prove your love for them, that’s a red flag and you should get as far away as possible.

It’s a social contract that encourages stable relationships and increases the likelihood of success of children within it.

In Chinese marriage, there are some difference from the western ones. Couples in China never say ā€œI love youā€ to each other.

Couples in China always stay together to share happiness and cope with difficulties.

i’d like to get married to miranda, she is perfect haha. some women from my hometown haha. she has questioinable taste in music though, but nobody is perfect. and she sang to me once, and she has the worst singing voice but it was cute.

anyways, my parents are happily married but they still have their arguments every once in awhile. i think i would piss off my partner with my messiness mostly if i was ever married, i have a hard time keeping things tidy.

I’m on team ā€˜marriage’ but that’s because I have to be. My folks and siblings are all happily married…

but I’ll offer even if given more opportunities in this realm, I’m probably just not the ā€˜marrying kind’. (Though that may be my schtick of being hard on myself… do have a wandering eye though lololol

Also, My wife and I have our arguments once in a while too. But both of us dont take those arguments seriously.

Every girl I dated I thought about marrying but it never worked out. I’m content right now by myself.

I don’t think much about it. I don’t think I’ll get into a long term relationship because of my living circumstance.

I’m a fan, but I have a strong marriage.

Eta, we have had rough spots. Everyone does. It’s if the couple decides the relationship is worth working on, that’s how they last.
