Dating in Western and Asia culture is described differently.
In Western, dating is described as meeting someone to be happy for 3 years; in Asia, it is to live well with someone for 30 years.
Chemistry in the relationship seems to be the most important in Western culture.
Whereas in Asia, the profile of a person is highly valued.
Your upbringing, who your parents are, your potential etc. will be considered before chemistry in a couple.
This process of marriage is often mistaken for materialist dating. Most married couples from the old days in Asia were married for life. If anything, the divorce rate has increased as we adapted to the western dating style.
Considering upbringing, personality, ability etc. decreasing the risk by reducing the variables that can disturb a marriage to be successful. When choosing a spouse, age, career, education, career and appearance are considered.
If so, what are the differences between a successful and unsuccessful marriage in their consideration?
Couple.net conducted survey against 5,000 men & women combine (2,500 successful, 2,500 unsuccessful marriage) to analyze most considered factors in their marriage.
The survey result shows that family background of women and financial means of men were important factors in successfully married couples.
On the other hand, when appearance and personality of a women and personality of men were important factors in choosing their spouses, their marriage was unsuccessful.
This explains that marriage turns out more successful when family background of women and financial means of men were valued most, and unsuccessful when personality or appearance were considered most in choosing their spouse.
This has an important meaning in a bigger frame of marriage.
People who strive for complacence and instant pleasure have a hard time getting married, whereas people who consider overall marriage life, stability are relatively easier to get married.
