[quote=MARRIE,271382]According to Xu's analysis, young people spend less and less time getting to know each other before marriage. They tend to present the best aspect of themselves before their future spouses and hide the negatives. "Once married, they feel disappointed to see various kinds of shortcomings of their spouses, which they were unaware of before marriage," said Xu. "If they didn't have any babies, it's easier for young people who usually have no patience to choose divorce." Affairs and one-night stands are becoming more common in cities like Beijing and Shanghai. These unconventional relationships are seen as greatly changing traditional morality and marital belief. The ratio of young people having one-night stands in large cities in China in recent years has risen in line with the growth of the Internet, especially virtual chat rooms. A survey showed that 34.7 percent of one-night stands were cyber-friends and 24.4 percent met first in Internet chat rooms. With increased mobility, more and more people flood to big cities such as Shanghai and get married with each other or with locals. The disparity of family and cultural backgrounds as well as values can create problems in marriages. (China Daily October 30, 2006) [/quote]
