由唐代家訓類著書觀察，唐人對於夫妻關係與相處是依循東漢儒家禮教規範的夫妻見解。唐代家訓書接受漢儒以天地陰陽為夫妻關係的宇宙論基礎，經由此一論點而導出夫天妻地、夫陽而尊，妻陰而卑的夫妻上下主從關係。因為夫為妻天，故夫可再娶而妻不能再醮；因為夫為尊長，妻為卑幼，所以妻須敬夫婿等。這種以東漢儒家規範的夫妻關係，較不重視夫妻間的情愛。

As regards the view of conjugal relation and do with each other, the T’ang people follow the Confucian rite norm in the East Han Dynasty, which are observed by the books of the family injunctions during in the T’ang Dynasty. From the thought of the Han Confucianist, the T’ang’s books of the family injunctions accepted the cosmology that the conjugal relation as tian di yin yang ( 天地陰陽). By way of this contention that the conjugal relation was thought of a husband would be the heaven, the sun; opposite to a wife would be the earth, the moon. Therefore, the husband on behalf of the sun is honorable, primary. On the contrary, the wife on behalf of the moon is inferior, secondary. Because a husband is the heaven for his wife, so he could marry again and then his wife could not merry again. Because a husband is the elder and his wife would be the inferior, so the wife must hold her husband in reverence. Such conjugal relation that the East Han’s Confucian rite norm were not given more weight to love between the husband and the wife.
