| Because they realised marrying for money and comfort is dumb? My co-teacher says all of her friends that are married (pretty much all of her friends) are very unhappy and all they do is complain about it when they meet. |

They'd be equally unhappy if they were struggling to pay the bills and always wondering if the next month someone will lose their job and will be forced out of their home. |

probably because korean spouses don't like when their foreign husbands/wives spend way too much time on dave's? jk
it's not true for korean-japanese couples though... only 8% divorce rates.
the worst is korean-chinese couples... about 70%.
does it mean something? |
I bet that's a class issue more than anything else. I doubt there are quite as many imported Japanese wives getting married to farmers as there are Chinese... |

| Yeah, marriage(especially in Korea) is a sham. All based on materialism and producing offspring. But that gets old pretty fast. Then one realizes that there life revolves around their kid, along with the absurd expenses of said kid, as well as the annoying mother in laws and the rat race that is Korea and keeping up with everyone else. I'm surprised that the suicide rate isn't higher. |

Tzechuk , first let me say that Im very sorry about your divorce.
I haven't commented on these boards very often ,because , I'm really busy.
I got married the first time in Korea back in 1996.
I have a beautiful daughter out of that marriage.
That marriage lasted all of two and a half years.
I have now been married (second marriage)
about ten years .
Anyway , if divorce has to be than it has to be .
Especially , if there is any kind of violence happening.
Marriage is about love , after all , isn't it ? |

It may just be incidental.

Maybe. On the other hand I have known plenty of happy couples who were actually quite poor. But they got along very well because of factors like rapport, a strong bond, commitment, chemistry, love, humor, etc etc.And especially, communication.
I think a lot depends on each partners initial expectations. Seems that a lot of people marry without first ironing out exactly what they (often secretly) expect from eachother and their reasons for getting married. |

OK, I'll try: clean, spit-free streets (and the concomitant refined ajoshees); passive ajummas; courteous cab drivers; patient bus drivers; guess that's enough for now...  |
