In the concept of marriage in modern society, the role of "door-to-door son-in-law" has always been quite controversial. On the one hand, it is an adherence to traditional gender roles, and on the other hand, it is a support for individual choice and gender equality. Such a conflict is vividly shown in a small video: a groom wearing a red wedding dress is about to leave home to become a son-in-law, and the reluctance of his parents and the heated discussion of netizens constitute the focus of our discussion today.
In the video, the groom's father's hands trembled slightly and helped his son arrange his clothes, while his mother carefully held a red bowl and fed his son eggs that symbolized reunion. The eyes of the elders in the family are full of concern and reluctance for their son's future life. And the son, in the face of his parents' love and anxiety, his gaze has also become heavy and complicated.
The son gets married, as a son-in-law, such a scene is not common in the traditional concept. For parents, they nurture their sons to grow up, hoping that their sons will be able to start a family and have their own families and heirs. However, the uncertainties of reality made the son choose another unusual path.
Comments on this video on the Internet were mixed, and some netizens said: "This son is taking advantage of everything, and he is still wronged like this." In their view, as a son-in-law, the man not only saves the cost of the bride price, but may even receive financial support from the woman's family, so the grievances and sacrifices faced by the man do not seem to be worthy of sympathy.
However, many netizens have put forward different opinions. They believe that the essence of marriage lies in the sincere love of two people, not in the form of a match. In the face of love, whether the man is married or the woman is married, it should not become the object of criticism and criticism from the outside world. Just as the groom is willing to leave the country in the video, perhaps it is also out of deep love for his fiancée and a beautiful vision for his future life.
Each family has its own story, which shows a unique humanistic care in the collision of tradition and modernity. In this story, the son, as the son-in-law, is actually a compromise and trade-off of the family's choice. Perhaps, it is precisely because of the incompetence of his parents or the helplessness of his family that the groom embarked on this path that was not fully recognized.
The parents' reluctance to their son, the groom's confusion about the future, and the heated discussions among netizens reflect the deep-seated changes in society's concept of family values and marriage. On the one hand, it demonstrates the expectations of traditional societies regarding male roles and family status, and on the other hand, it also reflects the increasingly diverse and inclusive attitudes of modern society.
In this change, we see the love and anxiety of parents, the courage and helplessness of the groom, and the acceptance and challenge of society. Such a form of marriage should not be simply defined as "taking advantage of the cheap" or "being angry". Because the value of love goes far beyond the evaluation of these appearances, a true marriage is the meeting and staying together of two souls.
Finally, when the groom hugged his parents affectionately outside the car and set off for a new life, we pray that everyone who chooses a different path can find their own happiness and dignity on the journey of love. Whether it is traditional or modern, whether it is a door-to-door son-in-law or a traditional groom, the most important thing is the true love in the hearts of two people, as well as the understanding and support between the family. We should respect everyone's choices and cherish the love story behind every marriage.
