According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, Chinese astrologers state that 2006 is a very lucky year to get married. Now of course, I don't believe everything that I read but I am hoping that in this case - luck and astrology are on my side. Heck, marriages today need all the luck they can get. Is that the reason why Chinese people are trying desperately to get married this year by placing personals, advertising their available children or friends on signs in the park. Or better yet delaying their nuptials or just taking the plunge because 2006 is just too good of a year to pass up.
Well, here are my words of warning ... luck is good and necessary for marriage but love, understanding, respect and a solid foundation are also keys to success. So people, unless you are ready to get married, I don't think you should follow the Chinese on this one. I'll let you know in 50 years if there was anything to this lucky year thing. We'll have solid divorce rates by then to judge. Did that sound pessimistic?
