In a recent study, nearly 33% of Japanese people questioned see marriage as pointless, more of an inconvenience. That doesn't mean they don't want relationships or children, but feel burdened by the society's demand that it all be solemnized within the legal confines of marriage. Please take a moment to read the disparaing comments posted here on this article about 'marriage'. Here is a sample. —Being broke, there’s more demerit than merit for me. —It’s probably better not to marry someone who thinks about merits and demerits. Unless you don’t mind just being an ATM. —The merits are just keeping up appearances and being socially responsible. The need for marriage like in the past is going to just keep getting less and less. —I’m married, but, honestly, I think it’s better not to. Except for the kids… I like my kids. —Everyone around me in me in their 30s, 40s, and 50s is getting divorced, and I hear nothing but rumors about affairs–it’s all just stupid. Aside from working together to raise kids, I can’t see any point to marriage. —It’s great if you marry someone you really like. But going so far as to trying omiai or going out marriage hunting, I don’t see the need. http://www.japantoday.com/category/national/v...riage-is-pointless-survey |
