Home work (11/20)

I think Japan is not a modern society completely when it comes to love and marriage, but there are many nice couples. First, I know a couple which husband and wife truly best friends. They met when they were university students, so their marriage isn't the omiai, arranged marriage. Although they don't have any children, there is no problem. That is to say, they don't think that it is the important purpose of marriage to have a child. They think the most important point of marriage is to be happy for each other. As well as them, I think that marriages in China don't have the purpose of having children, because Chinese government encourages the only child system now, so I wonder that Chinese people don't get married for purpose of having children. However, it seems that there is still a cleavage in society between the rich and the poor in China, so there might be many cases to get married for their financial purpose.
Although there are some couples to marry for business purpose because being married is seemed one of the social trusts in Japan. In addition this, married men can get the family allowance. I think this type of marriage isn't for love. It seems the marriage for profit.
As concernes marriage in foreign country, I found that Thai married men often have another women outside the marriage through the presentation in the last class. Regrettably, this case is often true of Japanese men. I wonder why men often have another women outside their wives? It must be one of the universal problems!!
By the way, I think that to choose the style of omiai for their marriage is one of the good ways. They will be able to build respectable relationships each other more than the couple which got married from friends, because I think that not to become too cozy between the couple is good for maintaining their own free time at home. Such couple won't force their role at home to the partner even if they are tired after work. Of course to help each other is very important for couples.
Through thinking about marriages, I think that the best relationships of marriage is to be "petticoat government"couple!!
