Today, I’m going to tell you about “The Life Of Japanese Women After Marriage”. Do you know? How the life of Japanese women after marriage? So keep reading on my blog and I’ll tell you about it.

          Marriage is where an event or ceremony takes place to bind two people namely a man and a woman. A man and a woman who are having marriages are called brides, and after the ceremony is finished then they are called husband and wife in marital ties. Same like other countries, each family can choose how their life after marriage such as husband and wife work or husband works and wife only as housewife or vice versa but all those go back to each individual how they want. So, in Japan there is a uniqueness that some women in Japan prefer to be housewives than becoming career women.

             Here are the lives of japanese women after marriage:

1.    The position of men and women after marriage

In Japan, the position of men in Japan is very comparable when after marriage and before marriage. Because during courtship, Japanese women sacrificed a lot. There is a tradition, for example lovers do traveling or just eat dinner then pay for each one. There is no obligation for the man to treat. Of course this is rather rare in Indonesia. But when they got married, many women take control of the family because there are regulations where all the husband's salary is for his wife. In Japan there is also a culture that the wife is the pillar of the family. The wife is trusted to regulate the family economy. In general, husbands are allocated pocket money by their wives.

2.    A wife prefers to be a housewife

Some Japanese women prefer to be housewives rather than becoming career women after marriage. The common mindset of Japanese women and still do is that the role of husbands who work and earn a living, while their wives are at home to care for their husbands and children. It is true but many countries have given freedom to their citizens, especially women, to be able to work after marriage and the Japanese government has imposed laws for gender equality on employment opportunities since 1986. As for some countries and even Indonesia, it is considered normal if a woman (wife) will continue to work after marriage.

3.    Rarely leave children with other people

Married couples that have child, in Japan rarely leave their children in other people's places such as in relatives or neighbors if the couple wants to leave the house. But in the west, married couples may leave their children with relatives or neighbors if they want to go to restaurant or other like courtship.

4.    Expression of love

A boyfriend, husband, wife in Japan rarely say 'I Love You' to their partners. This does sound a little cold and weird. However, Japanese people prefer to express what they think and feel. So, they express love with action. If the family of japanese people have got children, they can adjust to call her husband or his wife according to the call of his children to his mother or to his father like okaa-san (mother) and otou-san (father).

         Those are some the lives of japanese women after marriage. So, if you want to married with japanese woman, you have to know these so you can adapt with their culture or you can teach them how is the culture of your country.
