The relationship between husband and wife is situated in the middle of the so-called five cardinal human relationships of the Confucian school to be the basis of other four relationships. The establishment of the relationship between husband and wife is owing to the marriage. The goal of marrying a wife is to get a capable and virtuous assistant to fulfill the principle of filial piety and have a son to carry on the family name. Whether the marriage is normal or not will affect the stability of a family and the social order. Hence, the Confucian school emphasizes the wedding especially. The wedding must proceed prudently in accordance with the fixed and already decided procedures. However in the past, whether a bride was accepted by the husband's family or not depended on whether the husband's father and mother met her in the ancestral shrine of the family; for the establishment of the titles of husband and wife, the external formal conditions were more important than the actual consummation of the two people. The concepts that the husband belongs to the wife, and the wife belongs to the husband, and an extra-marital affair should be avoided are the proper attitudes that both the female part and the male part should hold; therefore, the monogamy is the ideal marriage pattern of the Confucian school. The reason why people of same surname do not marry each other is fearing that it's disadvantageous for themselves and their offspring; to marry a person of a different surname can benefit each other relatively. In the family, the sister-in-law who is the wife of the one's elder brother and the one himself are of the same generation without the blood relationship. To avert that the two persons may fall in love with each other and have sex to each other because being too intimate with each other, the traditional regulation is that, these two persons shall avoid each other as much as possible, and shall not speak to each other unless necessary to maintain the ethnic order of husband to wife, and wife to husband respectively. The male can undertake a greater task or duty than the female. Hence in the family, the male is superior and the female is subordinate. Both the husband and the wife should play their own role well and shall not go beyond the limits. For the part of the husband, he should get rid of the undeserved and presumptuous greed for women completely and absolutely, and make his own conduct correct as the model for the family. For the part of the wife, she must be loyal and faithful to the husband, and be obedient to the parents-in-law. Through the legalization in Cing and Han dynasties, the ethics between husband and wife has had stricter requirements on the wife than the husband. The married women should take chastity and obedience as their virtues, which have been the common consensus of the Confucian school through the ages; in Song and Ming dynasties when the New Confusion philosophy, flourished, people still thought these demands and principles were natural and right. To have a perfect marriage is the common wish of all people. However, because of the factors of differences on age, personality, and cultivation, a couple may become a happily couple that accompany each other all their lives, or an unharmonious couple resulting in the separation. One must know that the marriage life is full of variables that can not be predicted before the marriage; we can just call it the fate, and we can only do our best to maintain it. Only by experiencing the marriage and the phase of raising children can our content of life be profuse and diversified. As long as treating oneself with prudent respect, knowing one's place, and treating the other half with sincerity, I believe all complications in the process of marriage shall become smooth finally, and the state of highest harmony can be achieved.
