AG1 - 2017 JANUARY - UNIT 02

What do you think about marriage?

How should you choose the right person? Are there any principles?

What do you think about arranged marriages?

My partner says that marriage is nice and complicated. There is always trouble , for example , to pay bills.

The magic of marriage disappears when there are uncovered necessities.

Your mothers know the golden rules of Mr. Right.

It is a matter of good luck.

The girls say that they are  sure there is someone or maybe not who can come and become the right person. They want someone intelligent, generous, and good feelings especially commitment to respect the agreements.

There is always your soul mate out there wandering and expecting you to come about. You want someone intelligent, good looking, with good feelings.

Choosing the person you want to marry with is sometimes very difficult.

An arranged marriage is a marriage someone else arranges for you. You do not decide.
