As is revealed in the drawing, a pair of young loving couples are ready to hurdle. There are three columns in front of them, namely academics, money and houses, with the end of the marriage hall. Obviously, for this couple, getting married is not a simple matter.
From my point of view, there are two reasons for this phenomenon. Firstly, the current situations of society put tremendous pressure on young people’s marriage. Young people have to face the balance between works and marriage. For example, if a couple can't afford to compromise each other on works, such as being too busy to take care of each other's feelings and being unable to accompany each other, then such a marriage will bother both of them. Secondly, there are many trivia from the parents of young couple. Parents hope that their children will be able to match each other in their career, economic ability, and academic qualifications. In this regard, they not only require children to get married early, but also to meet their conditions, which is a huge challenge for young people.
All in all, young couples face lots of troubles from both society and parents. What they need to do is when they fall in love with someone, they should learn how to balance work and love and understand that they must work hard to develop their own careers. What’s more, they need to take care of parents' feelings.
