[00:08.03]On Flash Marriage
[00:10.45]There is a growing tendency nowadays for young couples
[00:15.40]to get married soon after starting relationship,
[00:18.89]which is called flash marriage.
[00:21.07]As is the case with many issues,
[00:23.93]flash marriage has both positive and negative aspects.
[00:28.42]On the positive side,
[00:30.66]young couples don't have to waste time and money
[00:34.46]on unserious dating if they get married instantly.
[00:38.50]Besides,
[00:40.12]flash marriage can relieve the stress placed on those
[00:43.94]who are comparatively older
[00:45.72]and whose parents urge them to get married.
[00:48.90]On the negative side,
[00:50.70]flash marriage may bring many problems for the new couple
[00:54.68]who are not well prepared to get married.
[00:57.54]The biggest problem is the high potential for divorce since
[01:03.18]they haven't known their spouse well enough before marriage.
[01:06.21]In my view,
[01:08.26]disadvantages of flash marriage outweigh the advantages.
[01:13.18]No one should make the decision of marriage so hasty
[01:16.88]without knowing their future life partner well;
[01:20.27]otherwise,
[01:21.76]he or she may be regretful.
