How to treat the love view of elders?

The elders' view of love was greatly influenced by the cultural customs of the society at that time. China's traditional concept is "home", and he thinks that home cannot be separated because of love. Therefore, their view of love is conservative. They believe that marriage must be agreed by both parents, and parents can arrange a spouse for their children. Two people have very low freedom to fall in love and get married.

In addition, the elders always think that love can't replace affection, because affection is a common emotion of human beings, and love is a special emotion. Love can be recognized by society, but it can't go beyond family ties. In the eyes of elders, true love is to help each other enhance mutual trust and love, not to destroy the stability and harmony of the family.

At the same time, the elders also stressed that love should be "content", reminding future generations to get married in the right way, that is to say, under the conditions of the country and family structure, the family economic ability and family education level of both sides should be similar, so as to maintain family harmony.

As for today's people who prefer free love, it is hard for elders to accept it, but they will also respect their children's ideas and understand the current social phenomenon. They hope that every young person can find someone he really loves and build a harmonious family.

In a word, the elders' attitude towards love is reasonable. They emphasize that love has a sense of responsibility, and we should not let love destroy the family, but we should also respect the children's choices, which can also make the family a more harmonious home.
