In this seemingly progressive society, we are still stumbling over some old traditions. That's right, I'm talking about the culprit that has caused countless couples to part ways - the bride price.
Two people have been in love for 8 years, and the thickness of this love is enough to pave two streets, but when it comes to the bride price, it is like a basin of cold water pouring down from the ceiling, pouring this relationship into the heart. Zhang Maoyan and Wang Qiang from Ningbo, Zhejiang Province are such a couple, they love each other to death, but in the end they are because of 18The bride price of 80,000 yuan will be dispersed.
To be honest, the bride price was originally a good idea, symbolizing the man's respect and love for the woman. However, it seems that in a blink of an eye, this bride price has become a balance to measure love, breaking up when it is heavy, and breaking up when it is light. No, Wang Qiang's house took out 660,000, presumably squeezed out six wallets, but was still told that "your attitude is not enough".
Zhang Maoyan wants 1880,000 dowry, the reason is that it is not ashamed, but also can give an explanation to parents. Moreover, she also plans to bring the money back to her new home, to put it bluntly, the money is still for two people in the end. Sounds like it makes sense?
However, the situation on Wang Qiang's side is also quite embarrassing. Not to mention the little savings of their family is invested in the wedding house, they also have to face huge expenses for decoration, buying appliances, and holding a wedding. 6.60,000 dowry, for them, may be doing their best.
Then, it's a quarrel, a lack of understanding, and finally a breakup. Really, a farce.
You see, that's the problem. Today, when we pay attention to the equality of men and women, we are still using the bride price to measure the sincerity of the man. What about the woman's sincerity? Shouldn't there be an "anti-bride price" to measure? Or, why don't we use this money to plan for the future, but instead we have to worry about it?
I know, a lot of people will say, it's tradition, it's culture. However, traditions and culture should also evolve with the times. If an outdated tradition becomes a stumbling block for young people in their pursuit of happiness, then what is the point of that tradition?
In the final analysis, the bride price is not a question of money, but a matter of attitude and traditional concepts. Whether the bride price is high or not is not the measure of love, nor should it become a stumbling block to love. What we need is more communication and understanding, rather than blindly pursuing some form of "perfection".
So, I want to say that true love should not have a ** label. No matter how much the bride price is given, it is not comparable to the value of mutual understanding and support between two people. On the road to pursuing happiness, we must bravely abandon those unreasonable traditional shackles and find our own way of happiness together.
Finally, to all couples who broke up because of the bride price, love should not be lost to the bride price, and you deserve a better future. As for the bride price, perhaps, its true meaning should be a heart, not a test.
