We Chinese feel strongly that a husband and wife should stay together all their lives, while Western couples feel that if their relationship isn't going well they should break it off. We stress patience and resolution of differences. Westerners, on the other hand, do not look upon divorce as anything especially out of the ordinary.
我們希望夫妻白頭到老，她們認為不和就散；我們強調忍耐，化解夫妻矛盾，他們認為結婚離婚好像「家常便飯」。
