This article is full of responsibility of marriage, typical of eastern world. Nowdays, there are not only one kind of family. In general, it could be divided into two types, nuclear and extended. The latter is the traditional type, especially in Asia. Only in this situation, the couple care many issues involved his or her spouse's family. While the nulear family focus on their offspring instead.

...However, marriage involves more than that------two persons's respective parents and other relatives and their feelings, their life. They should consider many more things if they want to build a family. Because marriage means a kind of responsibility, not only responsable for themselves but also for a good libraryy of things related. ...
Here, the author mentions the responsibility of marriage and give specific explanation. Anyone with a little care will notices that the so-called marriage responsibility does not include the issue of child or children, which is the most important responsibility. Once having a child, parents always try their best to creat a environment adapted to kid's growing-up. Meanwhile, how to be an useful person in this world is taught. If the couple failed to do so, we could say that they did not fulfil their responsibility. There is an old saying, to bring up a child without education is to raise a pig.
So, you see, the formost responsibility of marriage is that for offspring, western or eastern. |
