Marriage

Marriage, according to the English dictionary, means a union of a husband and a wife, but in modern Chinese society, it is more than that—it is a union of the two families. As we know, the two families don’t know each other at first, and now they become a close relative owing to the relationship of marriages. Under such circumstances, they share the happiness and trouble together. While a member of one family gets into trouble, the members of the other family will, without hesitation, help him/her to tackle the difficult problems. Therefore, the marriage, I think, is like a rope which ties the two families together. And that’s to say, before one wants to get married, he/she has got to check the family background of the other to avoid troublesome problems one stirs up. Judging from what mentioned above, marriage is not only a union of a husband and a wife, but also a union of the two families.
