A senior college girl named xiaojuan got an interview opportunity after taking part in many job fairs. But she didn't go surprisingly. She explained: I have made a date to see the film. They conflict each other. Because she just applied for membership of a matrimonial agency. That was her first date in that matrimonial agency. The man was very successful. His income was 130000 a year. We can look for jobs later. But marriage relates to a whole happy life. That can't be delayed. If you are a girl, do you want to struggle for a happy life with your boyfriend who is not successful now, or marry a rich and successful man? What do you think?

My marriage would be.... if it weren't a committed relationship, sorry it'd have to wait. I have a little mouth to feed and any man that wants to see me succeed would want me to succeed as a mother first.

Without going into the complexities of relations and emotions and just from an economic point of view let me admit that its going to be 12yrs since I married a poor boy who was my friend in college. We fell in love and married much against the wish of my parents. Life was NOT anywhere near a semblance of road…lets just say we had to create our own roads and we were not very successful at it mainly because we loved (still do) spending more time with each other than in the pursuit of stars. Maybe we are not ambitious but we have just managed to each enough to see us and our son going smoothly as of now. BUT we both have to work very hard and sometimes it does become too much for me, juggling home and office and kid. Added to that is the insecurity that we don’t have enough money in the bank or my hubby does not earn so much that I can afford the luxury of giving up my job. At these moments I really think of all those friends of mine who married into rich families with established husbands and don’t have to worry about money at all. Sometimes, I just wish I had married someone rich.

This is the first time I have heard of a matrimonial agency, that is indeed new to me. Anyways, if the question is what will I prioritize, I would definitely say I would prioritize my marriage first before my job. That means, I would give more importance to my marriage (coz I am married already). But if you are asking if I should pursue marriage first before a job after I graduate college (assuming that I am still that young) then I would go for the job first, why? because I believe that marriage is not something that should be rushed. It is the guy who should find me, court me and ask my hand in marriage. The women should not be the one actively looking for a future spouse, its the men who will find them. Regarding the jobs, when men and women are equal in this aspect, wherein both should take active roles in looking for a job

Both marriage and career are important for women in this modern life. We meight choose both of them or leave one of them after some hard considerations. Generally, those both things would come into every modern woman's life. The problem is only the time. In some period of time in your life, you should concern with your career. But when the time for marriage come, you shouldn't rejecting the chance. The most problem appearing after marriage is the husband wanted his wife to concern with their new family. This could be a dilemma for woman. I think the decission about marriage and career should be discussing by both couple and family before moving step ahead to the marriage stage. Although we are just women, but we have vital position for our family's future. Hope this short explanation useful for you. Have a nice day and happy mylotting. Good luck.

I think we all would choose a happy marriage. We all have to have money though and that requires a good job also.

Before I get marry i'll make sure that my boyfriend have a job for year and have earned money for his future family. I would also want to have a job before i get marry in order for me to contribute to the family needs. It's ok for me if my boyfriend is not successfull as long as he has saving for his family needs.

In my point, both are very important. As a part-time housewife now,i do part-time job,so i can take care of both. But if you want to get promotionoften,better spend more time on your job,then of course you will spend less time with your family. Which is important,there's no perfect answer.It's all up to you.
