When you make a choice about love, what practical factors put you in a dilemma, and how should you choose when faced with such a dilemma?
1. The other party's work
Online polls revealed that men most desire a boyfriend who is either a "second-generation rich kid" or a civil servant, while men most desire a girlfriend who is a teacher or a civil servant. Both sides value job stability, especially women who want to dedicate most of their time to family. Another key consideration is job benefits: whether there is insurance, whether the salary is high, and whether the job is stable – these are all crucial factors for couples considering marriage.
2. Both sets of parents
If you want to understand your future married life, you can learn a lot by looking at your partner's parents. Marriage is not just a union of two people, but also a union of two families. If the two families are not compatible, it will affect the quality of the marriage. The so-called "marrying someone of equal social standing" has some truth to it. In addition to understanding your partner, understanding their parents has also become part of the premarital "homework."
3. High housing prices
Getting married without owning a house makes having children a very complicated affair. Some people are optimistic, believing that buying a house is just a matter of postponing it for a few years, allowing them to focus on their careers. Others are more pessimistic, anticipating they will never be able to afford a home and consciously distancing themselves from affordable housing. As they get older, they begin to struggle with the painful question of "renting to solve this life-changing problem, continuing to wait, or simply separating." Housing prices are a significant factor influencing marriage in modern society.
4. Age
Age is a more significant factor for women. Women often begin to feel pressure around age 25. Men are less affected by age, being more influenced by their careers. Age difference is also an important factor in marriage. While age is not the sole determinant of a marriage's success, an age gap between spouses will inevitably cause certain physiological and psychological problems. Studies suggest that couples with a 5-10 year age difference are the most harmonious.
