To many women and men, marriage is not only a happy occasion, but ultimately the center goal in their lives, unrelated to their cultural background. Especially in Western civilizations, marriage is not only connected to love and the concept of an eternal bond between people, but also a certain feeling of safety, emotionally and, perhaps more significantly, economically. Similar to the decision to buy a house and start a family, it sets a direction in one’s life, a victory, so to speak, to meet people’s expectations. In her home country, as director Yukiko Mishima explains, marriage, having children and buying/owning a house have become cultural rather than individual standards. Especially with regards to women, marriage as a means to create stability in one’s life also creates an immense pressure not to “slip up”.
