Career-oriented Marriage
事業型婚姻
The generation gap quickly became apparent when I tried to discuss marriage with my daughter, who is very career-oriented. "A husband might not tolerate your ambition forever," I pointed out. "He might become concerned about how such total dedication to a job could fit into a successful relationship." "You don't understand, Dad," my daughter countered. "It's going to be a merger, not a takeover."
和女兒討論婚姻的時候,我和她之間的代溝馬上就一清二楚了。她一切都以事業為重。“你的事業心那么強,當丈夫的也許不能一直忍受下去。”我指出,“他可能會擔心你把心思都用在工作上了,怎么能讓婚姻美滿。”“你不明白,爸爸。”我女兒反駁道,“婚姻是‘合并’,不是‘接管’!”
