I Read the following passage and answer the questions
Partnership of equal : The majority of Asian students reject the American
view that marriage is a partnership of equals, demanding no more or no less from each other A majority of the Indian students agreed that “ a woman has to sacrifice more in a marriage than a man “
Trust built on love : Significantly, more Asian students than American
students agreed that “ a husband is obliged to tell his wife where he has been if he comes home late” The Asian wife can demand a record of her husband’s activities The American wife, for example, trusts her husband to “do the right thing “loves her” not because “he has to”
By any measurement of the four values of romanticism : physical
attractiveness before and after marriage, confiding, equal partnership and trust built on love, young Asian are far from being as romantic as their American counterparts, even today
