i have been troubled with these question for several months. i am a university graduate from china and i have no job at present. but my girlfriend said she would think of marriage soon(she is 24 years old),which indeed put great pressure on me for i could not afford the skyscraping house price and other things. so i wonder you guys in other countries think of this. thks.

hi,there. thanks for your reply.
i am not sure about india's situation.but my situation is that i could go back to my hometown where i could afford the house and things for marriage...,while that's impossible for i get no chance for a decent and good job there, and information-block there and lag of standard of living there...so i want to live in big cities and my girl friend also comes from big city. so i feel a little bit sad for our future as reality is cruel simply for i could not earn enough money within several years...you know, it takes a long time to do that in china as in my situation. ..

I think that money can make a realtionship hard at times.In my opinion if you love each other then she will be willing to wait until you are able to afford the wedding. When you love someone you are willing to do things for the sake of love.

Although in the Philippines a lot of parents are willing to subsidize or even entirely support their kids, I think one should not marry unless he is financially ready among others. Money matters has long been a source of conflicts among couples, being financially ready before marriage may alleviate that.
