[quote=PINETREE                ,26419]The concept of love came to the Chinese only in recent era. Before that, men and women didn't go dating, etc. They just married and tried to live happily ever after. For the Chinese or most Asian societies (until recent times), a man & a woman get together to start a family and procreate - not for the fun of falling in love.Falling in love is a western concept, I think. The Chinese now mix love into marriage and it is a happy ending ever after, hopefully ! But the emphasis unconsciously is still more on marriage/ commitment. As a consequnce, they tend to bear with the sufferings when they fall out of love with each other but maintain their marriage vows.The westerners also mix love into marriage - but probably the emphasis is more on love. So when they fall out of love, they tend to break up their marriages to end any sufferings from both parties. Only their poor children suffer living a childhood  with only a single parent.Is my interpretation correct, ladies/gentlemen from east and west - or am I bias ??[/quote]
