摘要:本文以中西方婚姻观念的多个方面的差异为对象,对这些差异进行了深入探究。随着时代和社会的迅速发展,人们的婚姻观时刻在发生着变化。对于中西方婚姻观念差异,主要有三个方面,一是婚姻观念不同,中国的婚姻观念比较保守,大多遵循传统的固有礼节仪式,而西方的婚姻观念比较开放,不拘泥于固定的礼仪;二是婚姻基础的不同,中国的婚姻是以家庭的利益为基础的,婚姻双方的结合要以最利于整体的家庭利益才能得到大多数人的认可,而西方的婚姻则大多以爱情为基础,因而更重视双方的感情。三是婚姻的目的不同,中国的传统婚姻是以延续子孙,繁衍后代为根本目的的,而西方的婚姻目的更在于双方共同生活。
通过分析中西方婚姻观念差异,论证了中西方文化差异,找出了跨文化交际中因观念差异而导致的冲突,并提出了解决办法。了解婚姻的丰富内涵和特点,加深人们对婚姻的理解,有助于引导婚姻健康发展。婚姻已成为一个普遍的社会问题,研究婚姻观能够为婚姻这种社会现象的理解提供理论帮助和指导,对解决当前社会的婚姻问题提供科学的路径。
