Place it in context of the culture. One that hammers the importance of family and community. Where every year, without fail, on Christmas Eve and Valentine's, tons of individuals lament being alone or being asked by parents when their child will find someone.
The goals are pretty on the nose. Of course, you're more likely to find them in the far less academic women's magazines and whatever manga incorporates romantically.
- thomastjeffery 4y agoI can tell you all about living in a culture with strong expectations around marriage and bearing children. It's not as consistent a driver of behavior as you might expect. There are more reasons to have sex than making babies. There are more reasons to get married than sex. The average person's relationship goals may be shifting drastically away from conservative marriage. We would be wise to accommodate that possibility in our data collecting methods.
