Hi!
Last week's question generated some interesting and varied responses. I enjoyed seeing that everyone was able to express their sometimes differing persectives in such a respectful and objective way. Nice work!
This week's question is also an interesting personal question. Here is Shiki's question:
Do you want to get married in the future?
Why or why not?
Happy writing and enjoy the weekend (despite the weather)!

Leslie's Response:
I don’t yearn for the wedlock due to two reasons. First, it is economy pressure, once you have marriage with someone. You have to buy a new house to live. But in my country, it is not easy to purchase a new apartment due to low pay. Generally speaking, the annual salary of teen is $14,400. People should save the money for forty years to afford their home because the property in the center is becoming more expensive. Besides, once you have a babe before marriage. Raising the baby is one of the most expensive things. According to the statistics from the center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (2010), the report indicated that if you want to raise one, you should have the bundle of money on hand, because you will spend an enormous $222,360 to raise a second child born in 2009 through age 17, but the typical families make from $56,670 to $98,120 per year. Second, I enjoy the single life. I would like to the freedom in my whole life. The marriage is legal contract between two people. If I got marry, I have a responsibility as a father or husband very seriously. I have to give up the leisure time to take care of my family. For instance, I need to do some overtime or work the graveyard shift to make some extra money. I think it is a terrifying nightmare for me. I don’t want to this kind of life in my lifestyle. In short, the marriage life is not suiting me. I look forward to having liberty and achieving financial freedom in the future.

Yu's Response:
I want to get married in the future because it's one of my dream. I like children, so I want to have them. However I think it is not necessary for me to do it. I want to do my best anytime in my life. When I get married someome and have children, I don't want to stop to my job for it. I have another dream. I want to be a career woman and succeed in my job in the future. If I give up to work and I knoe I regret. I want to manege to work and keep house. It is hard for me to choice job or marrige.
Shiki's Response
I really want to get married in the future. There are three reasons for it. First, I do not want to die alone. When I will be on my deathbed, I will be happy if I am surrounded by my family such as my husband and children. If my husband’s death is earlier than mine, I’m sure my children will be with me. Second reason is that I really want to have my children. I would like to raise my children as my parents brought up me. I would like my children to experience various things such as playing the piano, swimming, dancing, playing sports or etc. In addition, I think they will be able to find things that they are good at through these experiences. Besides, I would like to take my children to a lot of places because I think it is important to see many places and to talk with a lot of people. Through these experiences, they will be able to understand that there are a lot of beautiful places in the world and many people who have various personalities. Finally, I really want to stay with the person I love very much. I think I will be able to live happily with my husband because we will be able to encourage each other when we will be disappointed. Moreover, we will be aim same or almost same goal together, and we will be able to help each other when we will face something difficult. However, I would like to say strongly that I also want to do what I really want to do. I want to work and achieve something I can be proud of, because I think my life is only one time and very precious things. Therefore, I would like to get marry when I will be 27 or 28 years old.
Satsuki's Response:
I want to get married in the future, because I want to spend my life with the person who I really love and I want to get child in the future. Firstly, I want to get job in the future before get married. To work is very important for me, because I am studying now to get job in the future and I want to work that I am interested in or only for me. Also, working is very important to get money for me and family in the future, so I want to get married after worked. I love my family and thankful to my parents, so I want to make family like my family and I want to be a parent like my parents. Then, I want to get child and I want my child to do anything that I couldn’t do that. Also, I want my parents to see my child in the future. When I meet with my grandparents, they are very kind and taught many things for me. I like the time that I can see my grandparents, so I want my parents to see my child of future. If I can do, I want to continue to work after get married. Someone thinks all man (husband) have to work for family. Generally, wife is do housework at house, and husband is work for family, but I want to continue working after get married. I don’t think that wife has to do house work and only husband has to work for family, so I think working both wife and husband is good. Therefore, if I can get married, I can spend my life with the person who I really love, get child and I can continue to work or things that I am interested in. So, I want to get married.

To be honest, I don’t have any special feeling about getting marriage. I have a dream about a job, so I want to achieve to get my dream at first. But if I meet woman who are special for me, I want to get marriage. However, getting marriage has tow big advantages. First, ability of everything increases after getting marriage. A single man works for only himself, but a man who has wife of family works for not only himself but also his family. For example, one of Japanese traditional sports is Ekiden that is a long distance relay race, 10 runners pass Tasuki that is a kind of batons and each runners run more than 12 miles. On this race, many runners fall down after passing Tasuki to the next runner. It means they feel high pressure and responsibility for other teammates; therefore they are able to break their limit of ability. However, many runners of marathon do not fall down rather than they smile. I mean if people work for someone, they can beyond their best. I think getting marriage is same as Ekiden. People who work for their family are much stronger than people who are single. Secondly, partner who is always with you will always support you. I think it will be your big energy. Nobody can live alone, so every people needs supporter. Then, you are able to be a supporter of your partner. As a result, I think that getting marriage will be great for you but getting marriage is always with responsibility for your partner or family. Therefore, I want to get marriage if I am able to take responsibility.
I have a lot of dreams what I want to do in the future more than to get married and spend the same time with a lover. Therefore, I don’t want to get married. There is another reason based on my experience. To begin with, everyone changes their thought, sense of value and liking. To be honest, once, I longed to get married with my ex girlfriend when I was high school student. At that time, she was actually everything for me. I strongly believed I could have a great happy life if I get married with her, even though I didn’t know enough about the life yet and didn’t understand about myself. I spent a lot of my time, money and love. However, when I became university student in Japan, I faced a hard thing and knew the truth. Her mind was changed, and she got new/alternative boyfriend before I knew. After straggling hard, I understood that such human feeling could change easily. Moreover, young people easily tend to think that their love is an eternal thing like the sun. It’s a typical error, mistake or misunderstanding among teenagers. Thanks to my ex girlfriend, I clearly realized such love never exists on the earth. I was tired to spend my time with the lover. After breaking up, I could find a lot of dreams such as to be director of films, to make schools for children and to visit many countries. As a result, I want to spend my important time for my future or myself, and now I only concentrate my dreams or aims.
Yes I want to , but I don't think I can do it know because I'm studying know but I think I need a person to be next to me in the good times and bad and help me withe my life I feel alone some times so I think I need to and it helps me to be happy and to succeed in this life and to do more things I like to take care of someone that I love and to help him and to listen to him so I have to
Hi everybody
When I was in high school I used to think about getting married after graduation because I thought it was easy to get a job but I couldn't. now I am thinking to get married after graduation from the University of Montana because I consider the marriage need more responsibility to complete and share my life.
Its really strength question. I want to get marry because I don't want to be alone and I don't want to die nobody is througing the sand up to me. We must marry someone how we can live without wife or women how they can live without men. This is the rule of the life everyone must marry. Everyone want a child. And every one want to put his sign after his death. Lets think about people who will not get marry at all. They are working and they are living without wife or husband and they think that they are happy without husband or wife but he or she can't imagine how he or she can be happy with wife or husband and kids near them and that is the life that is the great feeling how is to be happy.
