The classification of Western marriage has long been circulated in a metaphor of image, one year of marriage is paper marriage, two years is cotton marriage, three years is leather marriage, four years is flower marriage, five years is wood marriage, seven years is wool marriage, ten years is tin marriage, eleven years is steel marriage, fifteen years is crystal marriage, twenty years is porcelain marriage, twenty years is silver marriage, thirty years is pearl marriage, fifty years is gold marriage, and sixty years is diamond marriage.
The first ten years, from paper marriage to tin marriage, are quite reasonable. The seven-year marriage commemoration is also known as the bronze marriage. I think it is more reasonable to marry wool, because wool clothes are the most itchy to wear on the body, which is in line with the "seven-year itch". Eleven years became a steel marriage, fifteen years became a fragile crystal marriage, twenty years became a porcelain marriage, and about fifteen to twenty years of marriage once again faced difficulties. As children grow up to leave home, both husband and wife must adjust their life goals and re-understand themselves. Surviving this difficulty is the silver wedding, the golden marriage, and the indestructible diamond marriage.
Western marriages are classified by the length of time, which is quite interesting, but eastern marriages are classified according to the essence of the relationship between husband and wife, which seems more interesting.
"Teapot marriages" in India, Nepal, Kuwait and other countries believe that men are like teapots and women are like teacups, and a teapot should be paired with two or more teacups, that is, several wives are governed by the same husband. It's an irrational old-fashioned marriage. In the "sand pig marriage" in China, Japan, Korea and other countries, the husband is the master at home, the wife takes care of all the household chores, and the food, clothing, shelter and transportation are served by "insiders". Men live a "sand pig life" of wearing clothes to stretch out their hands and eat to open their mouths. Mongolia, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries of the "rocker marriage", women's rights are rising, the power of "sand pigs" gradually weakened, so a family has two masters, husband and wife equal rights. But although it is said that men and women are equal, it is inevitable that sometimes men are on top, women are down, sometimes women are on top and men are down, and the two sides are fighting endlessly, which is a rocker marriage.
