Nate Pann Gist and Free Korean Vocabulary List : Knetizens are question whether marrying only for love is good?

Would marrying only for love be difficult ?

Hello, I am a woman in her late 20s and am slowly thinking about getting married. However my parents place a lot of value on the other person’s wealth and family status. Including his occupation. I fully understand that parents with girls are going to have such expectations.

But, we don’t even own a home, so I do not understand why they are expecting such . There are people around us that get married well, still , is the man’s financial status and family background really that important? Is marriage something that I cannot achieve with only love alone ?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a while now, but I have never seriously spoken with my parents about the relationship. The reason being, aside from knowing that parents’ nagging is only going to get worse, I know that my parents are not going to be satisfied with the conditions, so I am hesitating in fear that they may oppose it.

My boyfriend is a civil servant and comes from a divorcee family. His family is not that well-off ,so we are going to have to take loans together. So I am really scared that my parents will not like this and hinder the marriage.

Is there anyone that was in a similar scenario ? Were you able to get through it and get permission ? I do not know when I can finally tell my parents about him.

There is this saying “birds of the same feather…” so If you are also not well-off, you are less likely to meet someone rich.

What is your own requirement? Is the condition of a wife desired by all , a person that has a lot of money, good occupation, cute and good family history?

Yes, it is difficult. When you have lived, you’d realise how love isn’t everything.
