Couples should take all of these items into consideration before they get married. For example, a woman from a wealthy family married a man from a poorer family and ended up leaving him out of anger at his insistence on buying secondhand furniture and appliances. Another woman, a writer, was so disliked by her husband's family because of her mainland ancestry that her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law applauded her husband's affair.
一位富家女嫁到小康家庭，因為受不了先生堅持要買二手家具憤而求去；另一位女作家則因自己是「外省媳婦」而飽受夫家白眼，甚至先生外遇時，公婆小姑一致叫好。
