A large profortion of people believed that it is impossible to talk about love and marriage without talking about money. Without money, love is an extravagant hope. So it is. Job is the source of money. Family is the haven of the heart and space for resting. Feeling is the love towards friends, lovers, parents and pepole we care for. Frequently, conflicts happened among the three. Have you think over the relationship among the three things? Which one is the most important in your heart?

A job as a source of income is just another expression of love. Your love motivates you to work for them and give them the best you can. It's just a matter of balancing priorities.

GUEST5732	I feel everything is important to my life.I did not think it over before, but now, I should think about it carefully. To me, family is the most important. I love my parents and my husband; they give me too much love. So my feeling to family is strong enough to up me on my job. In a word, I am happy and satisfied with my life now.

GUEST007	Quote: "To me that is a " no brainer " kind of question, family come first every time." Alan, if your parents want you make a choice between them and your lover, who will you give up? Some Chinese parents make this dilemma for their children. If they are not satisfied with their children's BF or GF, they will make their children make a decision, your parents or your BF/GF?

I know what you mean Guest007.
But in my case both my parents have passed on and I'm now the head of the family and as you may have seen in other posts I have recently married, so my wife and my daughter from my previous marraige are my family.
I should also say when my parents were alive they always supported my choice of girlfriend.

My brothers and I were barely teenagers when our parents told us to decide things on our own. I think they got tired of us asking for permission for almost anything.

“Learn to decide things on your own. What are you going to do when we’re dead? Exhume us?” O_o

On a serious note, my parents love and trust us. They never put us in such a situation and never will. As always, they just want us to chase our dreams and be happy.

Love is patient, Love is kind,
It does not envy, it does not boast,
It is not proud, it is not rude,
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.

Love always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.

Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends.
Love never fails.

~ Corinthians 13 : 4 - 8

SHESGOTTOBE, you are blessed with a family! Having such a family must be the happiest thing in your life. So don't your parents down. We all should be indebted to our own family members who raised us and supported us along the way.
