Congratulations!

A Japanese super popular actor and singer Masaharu Fukuyama, 46, has just got married. I thought his partner would be Dan-mitsu, but I was wrong. The bride was an actress Kazue Fukiishi, 33. 

Probably, many women would be shocked by the marriage, but everyone would congratulate him on his marriage at last.

My Nephew's Marriage

I've heard a surprising news today. My nephew has just married. He is 21 years old, two years older than my son. I'm happy to hear the news, however, I'm worried a little about the marriage. He doesn't have a full-time job now and his wife is expecting a child. They are staying my brother's house because they can't afford to rent an apartment. I hope my nephew gets a good job soon and will build a good home with his wife and new born child.

Shibuya to Recognize Same-Sex Relationships

Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, will officially issue certificates to same-sex couples. The documents will recognize these couples equivalent as married couples. This is the first local government to establish a law to provide such a document in Japan. 

I strongly approve the movement to make same-sex marriage law. I think a marriage should be based on simply two individuals, not only men and women. If a couple want to share everything related to them, it should not be a problem whether they are same sex or not. They should be tightened on the basis of documents and share not only good thing but also bad things.

Marriage in Nepal

As I said, I took English private lessons several years ago. The teacher was a Nepalese woman and was just married with a Nepalese doctor's course student.

We talked about many things even I was not good at speaking in English. Marriage was one of the topics at that time. Her marriage was arranged by her parents because of their custom. She said they have to marry with the same caste and their parents decide who is the right person to marry. I asked if she wants to marry with a person against parents' will would you marry him? Her answer was no. She never thought against her parents. She first met her husband a month before her wedding day.
