First, I believe there is true love, naked marriage is a touchstone to test whether it is a true love ; when a person would marry you when you have nothing, willing to struggle together to go through the difficult times, he or her is the one you should cherish most. when we are in the age of marriage, we are generally still in a state of nothing, if you want to get married, naked marriage is a norm, you might say that you can choose not to get married, wait until you have enough money . But when you get enough money, your age is older, you do not have so much time and energy to manage a sincere love. Maybe you will say that you can choose to keep the love relation with him or her until you get ready, then you are willing to love him for many years why not get married at first?Current social pressure is so great ,and social competition is so fierce, we can choose to be with each other, get married in order to create a better life; there is a Chinese saying, Marry and settle down.
