love is the first condition of marriage
what will you choose if you choose the first condition of the marriage if you are "love", "a lifetime commitment", "partner" "baby girl" and "achieve economic stability".
Americans tend to choose love as the first condition for marriage.
Alisa, 32, emigrated from South Africa to the United States a few years ago. Currently, she lives in Chicago with her sister and studies in computer science at Roosevelt University in downtown business district. When it comes to marriage, Alisa says, in her view, the key to marriage is to find the other half in mind, so there is no so-called "leftover".
when asked whether she had been married to her parents, Alisa said she had not met this situation, "because parents won't make us do things that we don't want. What parents do is to live happily for us.
Alisa said that since she is now studying for a computer degree, she should be able to find a good job after graduation. Therefore, the economy is not the factor for her to consider marriage. "As long as your heart tells you that the person is what you are looking for, then you can consider marriage."
because of the high competition for employment, many American women pursue higher degrees. Some can only wait for them to settle down in their studies and work and reconsider the problem of marriage, which leads to the late marriage and the so-called "leftover" phenomenon. However, the phenomenon of late marriage in the United States can not be equated with the "leftover women" mentioned by the Chinese people. One of the important reasons is that the "leftover women" in the United States is not "labeled" and is not as high as China.
