This generation of young people is more independent in their economic lives, and "marriage" is no longer an inevitable option for them.
However, there are still many people who choose to "marry young and early" and enter the married life early.
Why rush into marriage so eagerly?
We interviewed 3 young people to listen to their answers.
The decision to marry early was actually unexpected.
I just graduated in 2020 and stayed in Changsha to work with my boyfriend of 3 years.
Our relationship has always been very stable, because we are still young and have no plans to get married for the time being.
But at that time, the house price in Changsha had been soaring, and I was worried that in two or three years the house price would climb to a height that neither of us could afford, so after consulting with my boyfriend, I decided to put the plan to buy a house on the agenda.
We are all ordinary families, and in the case of high housing prices, even if we add the money supported by both parents, it is only enough to repay a down payment.
We simply decided to get married, treat this house as the joint property of the husband and wife, and pay back the monthly payment together. In the morning, I just went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate, and in the afternoon, I hurried to return the down payment.
However, the decision to get married did not bring much change to our relationship, perhaps the original relationship was already quite stable, and the house was only an opportunity for us to get a license.
On the contrary, because we have received a license and have a mortgage to repay, my boyfriend and I feel a sense of responsibility as husband and wife, and we have to work harder and work harder to treat work and life.
My boyfriend and I actually met by "network line pull".
At that time, I had just come to Shenzhen, I was not familiar with the place of life, and I was pit by a black-hearted intermediary for 1 month.
My family was indifferent to me, only used me as a cash machine, eager to take my money to my brother to make a down payment; most of my friends were running for life, and I was not good enough to vent to them.
When all thoughts were gray, I met my current husband in the game, teamed up to play a few games and came and went, and added WeChat to each other.
He would listen silently to me pour bitter water, would help me analyze how each interview should play, help me find a new rental, and occasionally send some funny videos to make me happy.
With him, I spent the darkest time when I first arrived in Shenzhen, and gradually fell in love with him. Later we decided to come forward and formally establish a relationship.
Online love is often felt to be the most unreliable way of love, easy to see the light of death, but also easy to meet people who plot against each other. I feel really lucky to have met him.
The original family brought me all the pain, I desperately wanted to escape from the original life, as a family to form our own loving small family with him, together for about half a year we got the license.
Because finding good people means "happiness" to me to get married early.
Although many people have prejudices against "blind dates", I still like blind dates.
Being honest with each other and only meeting with people who meet the requirements for mate selection between the two sides has increased efficiency and saved most of the time for busy people like me.
After several meetings, "fast and accurate" is my understanding of blind dates.
I still remember that it was Saturday morning, and the teacher who was responsible for matching me suddenly called and said that a girl who was particularly in line with my mate selection conditions had appeared.
We immediately decided to meet, had dinner and watched a movie, and had a great conversation. After seeing me like this 3 times, I suddenly felt that it was her.
It turns out that it is necessary to talk about the likes and dislikes of both parties at the beginning to maintain the relationship.
After confirming the relationship, because the "thunder point" of both sides we all know it, so we get along very well, the feelings also heat up rapidly, and the love is about 3 months before it reaches the stage of preparing for marriage.
I never think that early marriage is a bad thing, and some people may say that getting married early, both parties are not mature and so on. But it is too precious to meet someone like her, who fits my three views.
For me, it doesn't really matter whether it's sooner or later to get into a marriage, it's about whether the other person is the one you think you can't miss the most.
There is no right or wrong choice in the choice of "early marriage", because marriage is never an essential goal.
Our purpose is to find happiness with the right person, in love and marriage.
