Which Path I should Go?
Catching up the developing pace of a society, the youth has opened a big revolution in living with opposite sex before marriages. Regardless of their age and their parents’ disapproval, some young boys and girls rush to pack their stuff, put their fingers on their lip and kiss goodbye kisses to their first nests.
Premarital cohabitation is acknowledged as a big problem relating to traditional culture in some countries. Throughout history, women are heavily obliged by old customs; especially customs which women must to keep themselves “virgin” before stepping into their husbands’ families. If they try to resist those “fences”, they won’t be penalty death or be tossed into on the pile of fire by laws or by customs. However, they will lose a lot of things. Their family, their neighbors and their friends will abandon, abuse, and despise them. Therefore, women who live with opposite sex before marriage seem to have no escapes. The society doesn’t welcome them. However, in recent years, reaching to western cultures, people gradually break through chains for women. They have more progressive ideologies. Seizing this chance, the youth begin to experience a husband-wife life before marriage. Premarital cohabitation has become a new style that teenager thinks they should try. The youth justifies that living with opposite helps them understand each other before marriage. Therefore, more and more young people adopt the premarital cohabitation. Being a youth, I asked myself that “Which one I should follow, ancient ideologies or new ideologies?” Most of men in Viet Nam care if their fiancĂ©e still have virgin or not. The funniest part is that most of men want their partner to live with them before marriage, but they require their wives are innocent girls who say no with “premarital cohabitation”. How to find them? I actually don’t understand.
In our country, parents are traditional too. They don't like couples to live together without marriage, but some young generations don't mind it. In my opinion, I think we should choose what we like, what we can accept.
ReplyDeleteI think most Asian countries are traditional. In my opinion, I cannot accept that people live together before getting married
ReplyDeleteAvoiding sex before married is good behavior to follow, but as one of Vietnamese men, I don't care my future wife is a virgin or not.The only thing I need is her love for me and my family. So, I disagree with your idea.
ReplyDeleteI thought you're a novelist or a writer lol I figured that living together before marriage is a common thing in Canada. However, in my country, when people live together, they are expected to get married.
