History of Human Marriage
Traced back to primitive times, there is the so-called marriage, it is a herd instinct properties of higher life, the laws of nature will use the power of opposites attract, so that mammalian life thrived. Form of human existence and the binding mode of marriage, subject to the environmental impact of human society. Different times and regions, social environment, creating a variety of marriage patterns, and the combination of methods. Scientific sense, if not married, a lot of blood there can be confusion, not conducive to people's good reproduction.
Primitive human does not need marriage, this primate of today is the same, do not elaborate. After that came the clan society, used the collective group marriage system, in which a male or female collective clan married into another clan. This is also in the process of evolution, proliferation and the prevention of incest to ethnic groups led to the formation of a practice degradation. Then later entered the private ownership of society, have a one to one or a pair of husband and wife relationship between a fixed number, and thus a marriage.
Is worth noting that, due to marriage arising from private ownership, it has been closely associated with the property. As the man is the subject of private ownership of society, so women have been seen as men's property, so most of the ancient society of polygamy. And rush marriage, the sale of wives and other phenomena from this. Since private ownership of property because the male kinship inheritance, in order to ensure the purity of blood, there is a "virgin" and the strict constraints on women's sexual behavior.
When the tribe and the state and other social organization, marriage became a political bargaining chip. From the tribes intermarry, the country's rulers of "marriage" are trying to achieve political ends through marriage. Even today, marriage is still rich family alliances and rationalization of property for inheritance.
As in the natural small-scale peasant society, marriage is a kind of division of labor composition, the so-called "men plow and women weave", "men and women stay home." The people in modern society, and marriage is to form a family, in meeting human needs of the normal life, was committed as a family and future generations of social care responsibilities and obligations, a person's a kind destination.
Comprehensive view, marriage is a natural law, contrary to the laws of man, will bring us some trouble. About the history of human marriage experienced the following stages: the period of promiscuity, group marriage (blood group marriage, group marriage outside the family), dual marriage, monogamy.
Promiscuity
Promiscuous sexual intercourse is to reproduce and eventually will form only knew his mother not a father of the mother-oriented social relations. Just as ants and bees in the world, is "queen mother" rule. Ancient Chinese sage's birth, often the mother stepped on a miracle, to swallow a big star, or intercourse with the fetish is born, not a father. But the mother-oriented social relations, and development of productive forces the formation of contradictions. When entering a higher stage of society, hunting and fishing industry gradually developed, men in productive labor, continue to reflect the advantages of strength, which along with the demand of the position.
Dual group marriage and marriage
Advantage of men began to challenge the power of the mother's authority, but also challenges the authority of his father, this will have in the distribution of conflict, major conflict, competition for sexual partners, or even lead to population extinction. Anthropologists found that more than ten million years ago, in Europe, often called Benedetto person's race, according to bones that its tall, physically fit, then it mysteriously disappeared. Is internal strife in such killing each other to death for? On the one hand is the survival instinct and the instinct to promote powerful rights and status of those to get to the collapse of the existing population; on the one hand is required to maintain stability and human development group. How do? Semyonov Soviet historian, "the origin of marriage and family," that primitive man to rely on "sexual taboo" to maintain a relatively stable time. "Sexual taboo" requirement in hunting or fishing during the period of prohibition of any sexual activity, or even prohibit contact with women about things, otherwise it is considered breach of the gods, but a capital offense. Because of hunting and fishing activities, the survival of ethnic relations, this time because of competition for the event of civil unrest caused, will inevitably lead to the fall of ethnic groups.
However, with the men in the production activities are gaining in status, the mother must be right to challenge the passage of time, women subordinate to men, become the property of men.
Monogamy
Establishment of paternity, property privatization, in order to ensure future generations will inherit his father's property Zaixi require Zaixi blood purity, while the child is required to confirm the identity of the father. This means that the dual marriage in polygamous form will be preserved; also on the chastity of women put forward demands. The blood of the legitimacy of requests, even polygamy, also need to have a master's wife, as Abraham's wife Sarah, son Isaac in order to inherit property, to enable women and their children away Hagar. The monogamous family, the end result of such requirements.
The concept of the Law on Marriage
As the Object of the Marriage Law, Marriage Law subjects "marriage", there must be a clear concept of law. The legal concept of marriage should be with the people in the civil law concept that corresponds to and can always systems in the marriage law. It should cover the following three definitions: the basis of the combination of men and women; to live together for the purpose; with the publicity of marital status. It should include a variety of legal and illegal marriage, marriage can with sex before marriage, concubinage, cohabiting, non-marital cohabitation distinguish such phenomena, but should avoid getting married, marriage and other legal concepts confused.
Based on the integration of men and women
This is the marriage of the natural level of meaning. Physiological differences between men and women, human instinct inherent in the nature, of forming a natural marriage, again, marriage Guyou the natural attributes, this natural attribute a relationship different from other social relations of the important Tezheng that if the first natural factors Zhong Zhong human society is simply impossible marriage.
Throughout the history of marriage, marriage is the combination of men and women for the content. Engels in the "Family, Private Property and the State of origin" article, not only of the origin and development of marriage and the marriage of the future society was speculate. Ignorant of the times, the group marriage system of barbarism, under the dual system of marriage, marriage is a union between opposite sex, and civilization adapted to adultery and prostitution, monogamy, supplemented, from the name itself indicates that it is the men and women The combination between. From Engels on the origins of monogamy, but we can see that it became necessary requirement for heterosexual marriage. "Monogamy is not based on natural conditions, and to economic conditions.
To live together for the purpose of
The so-called "living together" means living together as members of the same family, living in a community in the same. Under normal circumstances, but also between husband and wife sex life and marital love each other. Mr. Shi Shangkuan that the "common life" normally "the common life of the spirit (another dear, the combination of the spirit), of living together (combination of meat) and economic life of the common (family income there)," This is a "common life "all generalizations.
Publication of the identity of a husband and wife
Publication of the identity of husband and wife, is the level of marriage and the meaning of the phenomenon. It requires both parties should have an open marriage couple identity. The concept of the meaning of marriage, this layer contains two aspects.
First, on behalf of both men and women living together as husband and wife must live around people also think that they are husband and wife.
That is, both men and women both have a married life of the inner contents of the external form, there should also be recognized by the public as husband and wife. Premarital sex, concubinage, cohabiting, non-marital cohabitation phenomenon, required to establish the appropriate law marriage law term. And make these legal terms and to distinguish the concept of marriage, the inevitable requirement of the concept of marriage as "husband and wife as the publicity" of the content.
Second, the husband and wife as long as the public recognition, no legitimacy.
Marriage is commonly recognized that, "legal" is the essential content of the concept of marriage. This type of marriage, marriage law in the contradiction to the theory, and the content of our laws are not consistent; is not conducive to the development of the whole history of the institution of marriage, is not conducive to study the institution of marriage from around the world; and China does not match the current marital status. Marriage Law in the laws, regulations and texts, involving a variety of marriage: arranged marriage, is a third party (including parents) in violation of the principle of autonomy of marriage, arranged marriage, forced others to act; sale into marriage, is a third party (including parents ) to obtain a large number of property for the purpose of forced arranged marriage behavior of others (see February 2, 1992, "Supreme People's Court on the implementation of legal advice in civil policy"); de facto marriage "refers to both men and women without marriage registration that is name of the spouse cohabitation, and the people are considered husband and wife combination "; invalid marriage," refers to the elements of breach of marriage and the establishment of illegal marriage. " All these marriages are not legal, but in our legislation, legal interpretation and legal research, regarded them as marriage. Therefore, we define the concept of marriage should only be identified as the publicity of a husband and wife, without the need for legitimacy.
Individual needs of marriage
1. Marriage to meet the individual needs
Individual needs is the foundation and driving force of human behavior, these needs must be met, following the demand for marriage and family life is particularly important:
⑴ love - the most important in marriage, should be the first to satisfy the thirst for love, marriage, love should include honesty, responsibility and giving attitude, and gentle adaptability.
⑵ sense of security - even more than men need women, in other words, she is more dependent on man, ethics and economic capacity is also part of security.
⑶ self-confidence - everyone needs the approval of others, praise or equal treatment, even between husband and wife this need. Married life to encourage each other to increase the confidence the other side is the right road.
⑷ birth - normal marriage also meet the needs of each sex, having children is a natural development, and complete rejection of marriage fertility will lead to the rift.
⑸ family authority - the authority of the family responsibilities clearly. Children in the family learn to accept authority, to grow up in the community respect for law and authority.
2. Careful watering the garden of marriage
⑴ for the destruction of marital relations, and to be vigilant to avoid stabbing the wrong words or meaningless bickering.
⑵ spend more time on family life to help make friends, and more exchange of views on family life.
⑶ the couple also need to review from time to time marriage, seeking to improve.
⑷ conflict, quarrel, the Cold War is inevitable, because each person has an emotional impulse, what matters is the experience of growing into each conflict, learn to open minded individuals, to face reality. Only love and for the sake of each other in order to resolve everything.
Marriage is love garden, flower garden must have sufficient space to grow, and planned plant, and sometimes to have to dig sometimes to fertilization, sometimes transplantation, and sometimes get rid of. Flowers depends on the season, different seasons, open flowers are different, marriage also changes of the seasons, each season has different difficulties and dangers, and dangerous means, not explain the "crisis of crisis"? So be careful irrigation of the flower of love, if it, together with the grass long, trouble is sure to be killed, either by wind or sun it will not be long Well, only to irrigation, well prepared, be patient, sooner or later the working class to bear fruit.
3. 4 risk of marriage
The first dangerous period:
Child is born the couple suddenly increasing the pressure, the original play and recreation greatly reduced quality of life decline. Children generated by the arrival of the "triangular" relationship, changed the original "two world", a couple of marriage the same time nervous, confused, bewildered.
The second danger period:
This period of four to five years after marriage, the couple easily find life dull dull. Husband worked for many years, but did not see any bright future, even too lazy to do housework; wife both work and have to take care of their children, too busy, the couple have no inclination to accompany each other intimately, this time they may find Concert. One sociologist investigated 70 women with a married man having an affair, found that most of these extra-marital affairs began in simple friendship. When the husband or wife should have said to the other party to the intimate listening to others talk, the couple are to blame.
The third risk period:
Married about seven years, sociologists found that married couples between the sixth to ten years, reached the lowest level of marital satisfaction. In fact, the divorce rate is also the seventh to ten years after marriage, the formation of the peak. This time, the spouses should be the greatest patience, care to help each other up to ensure the quality of marriage.
Fourth of danger:
Married twenty years this time, the physical condition of both men and women gradually changed. Wife went into the menopause is often restless, worried that they lost all charm, her husband was getting older and older no longer worry about --- with plenty of energy, creativeness not agile, but his son play basketball to enhance the totally hopeless. At this point he is in need of understanding and comfort, while the wife is precisely the same requirements. If the husband and wife can not give each other, he (she) may go looking for other heterosexual.

"Han Emperor Hui Ji" on the express written: "Women over 15 to 30 years, not married, five-count." "Five-count" is the penalty she paid five times the taxes. In fact, the phenomenon of early marriage in Ancient China is also very serious, Song had "all men 15 years and women 13 years and listen to marriage" requirement. "Later Han Ban Zhao Chuan" on the record: Ban Zhao, "Four years 10, the Executive Ji Zhou Yu Cao."

Han got married, are barricaded tent cloth curtain green, thanks to the gift exchange was held. "Shi false deceitful" chapter reads: "Wei Wu is low, the taste and good for the Ranger Yuan Shao. Views were married, dive master for the garden, called the night call saying: 'there are thieves thief!' Green Man Cottage are out of view. Wei Wu is in, pumping edge robbery bride. "This Green House in the marriage customs, remain in effect until the Qing Dynasty, Pu's" Strange Tales "on the various references.
Also, according to historical records, Han occasion, He already had the custom of marriage and the wedding night to listen to the customs house. According to "Han Xuan Ji" record: "Wufeng two Chao said: 'husband marriage ceremony, human relations are also great. Food and drinks of the will, so lines are also ritual.

"Kui silence can not bend. Off-balance listener to feel ashamed.
Han has been listening room license practices.
In addition, different generations of ancient marriage customs with a customs are: the ancient taboo of women do not remarry, and have been so from the Zhou Dynasty to the Northern Song Dynasty. According to "Li Tan Gong" record: Confucius, the son of Peter Fish's death, "his wife married in the Guardian," also contains: "Mother died of Zi Si Wei went on Zisi, Zisi cry at the temple. Doors were to say : 'Shu's mother died, what is the temple almost crying in his charm?' Zisi saying: 'I had now! I had now!' is the cry in his room.

Until the Ming and Qing dynasties, women are not remarried side to Confucianism, it has been a feast, the Church of that.
Ten future trends of China Marriage
Smaller family structure
Philosophy: Every 3 to 4 people.
Expectations of marriage with the arrival of well-off life change, such as the amount of income on household investment, whether the birth will not be more respected. Both sides pay more attention to are: to maintain intimacy, respect of marriage agreement, mutual understanding, and create comfortable, quiet Yat comfortable home.
Late marriage and late childbearing increase
Concept: a single non-marriage, increasing numbers of voluntary infertility were on the rise.
Traditional "men and women stay home" concept, to be applied to modern people, in fact very difficult, or even have been completely overturned. Modern women as level of education, work experience, plus information on a large number of absorption and the media coverage of gender issues, so that women have "women can have their own world" concept, so love the autonomy of the increase, the spouse and marriage more things to consider.
There is limerick so that, men see a woman in about three years old, is to look at education; men look after the three-year-old woman, is to look through; men look after the four-year-old woman, is to look at medical records. In fact, such men and women are very sad, one will only "see", one only "be seen", and finally there will not be any results.
Therefore, the proposed older men, do not demand too much, because the last or only marry a wife, stopped to give yourself the chance and get along with females, not just "see", must _set_ an example to pursue their own happiness; older woman who had been missing all right, present or is not too late. Even those men prefer young girls, we should strive to pursue their own happiness. If you can not get married, to find sustenance in other ways, in fact, make a "single woman" is also good.
More science education in general
Idea: young people caused by reckless curiosity sexual experience decreased more careful on premarital sex.
Light weight fun mate economy
Concept: pay more attention to taste congenial mate, diminish the importance of economic conditions. Hope the other young men and women belong to the same social class with their own.
Young women the ideal partner, is a sense of humor, know how to respect people, life is full of fun, and economic conditions, the impact of family background will be diluted.
The pursuit of marital quality
Philosophy: quality of marriage become the goal.
Most families no longer make do, marital adjustment capabilities, will make family life more abundant, fresh, well-being. Greater equality between men and women in marriage, domestic violence reduced, the husband and wife share the household duties.
It was this passion and calm assessment of the marriage relationship - each a doomed love the energy, and love the more intense the faster consumption of energy, like flame, gorgeous sky, the moment will become ashes. The tranquil and calm could really be able to maintain life. Perhaps the more dull marriage, love the higher the quality.
Financial management system for the transition to AA
Concept: Family financial management will be one based on the transition to AA. Pre-marital property notarization, married couples in open bank accounts, independent economic accounting. By marital agreement, the couple take their own financial obligations of family life.
AA system, the so-called husband and wife, is a new mode of family financial commitments. It generally takes two forms: one is the exchange part of the money each month as a "family public funds" to pay rent utilities and other common household spending, the rest of their food; the other is entertaining, shopping, taxi and other expenses are all self-care, only buy a house, investing large projects like the average burden on the husband and wife. Recently, many young couples will be introduced to the AA system of family life - "My dear, let's AA system", become a catchword.
Reduce domestic conflicts
Idea: reduce domestic labor intensity, couples conflicts caused by reduced domestic labor. The socialization of housework, home appliances reduced the time universal.
More reason for divorce
Idea: Divorce, divorce try to break up a rational first choice, but the divorce rate will continue the rise.
Knowledge, people with higher educational level, emotion-rich people, love the higher demands more. But divorce is the social pressure to bear, will be reduced accordingly.
Shi divorce De advantage allows both sides will not made under circumstances in impulse decision regret, in the face of reality, both objective and willingness to reconsider Ren will check Ziji, appreciate merits of each other 检讨 their own inadequacies and Zui Hou's choice is rational of. If the divorce trial process, and I find that their marriage has no love, asexual, benefit, and a situation can not be improved, then the test is to divorce his grace period, when you leave this marriage, you will allow that they have a peace of mind, gave up, give yourself a new choice.
Rational treatment of extramarital affair
Concept: Social rational approach to the extramarital affair to continue.
People's sense of responsibility of marriage comes from the more self-awareness, self-discipline, self-correction, rather than forced external pressure. It demands the quality of marriage and the emotional, demands the rights and enjoyment between husband and wife, have more freedom of choice and self-awareness.
In extramarital affairs as frequently as the era of rising prices, we have to learn to calm and mature our minds to bear to face, you know, an affair, the temptation is irresistible, but the house is a harbor of refuge.
Increased degree of freedom of marriage
Concept: Marriage is no longer a herd behavior, marriage is a personal choice after careful consideration, single not married, "DINK families" and other lifestyle choices may become diverse content.
"DINK" is the English Doubleincomeandnokids acronym DINK, which means double income, no children's family structure. Today DINK families are springing doubled, especially in Beijing, Shanghai city in this super. Recently, a short message caught my attention last year, the DINK couples in China has exceeded one million pairs.
