6、活动主题

Main Topic

Dollars and Relationship

How Does Economy Influence Your *Bargaining Power within A Relationship?

When it comes to personal relationship, we’d like to think that it has nothing to do with money or income. However, when we take this issue more seriously, we’ll find that income level or relative income level is really a matter within a relationship regarding to bargaining power and making financial decisions, it is especially the case for married couples.
Many people grew up in families in which father earned most of the money and made all financial decisions, mom did housework and made all decisions around the family.  Consequently, what we are experiencing is a transition because some men in our generation grew up with the expectation that they are going to make all decisions. And now they discover that they need to share their decision making.
1. Who is good at budgeting, male or female?

  
2. Some people may think that it is of great importance to be a decision maker, while others just consider it as a burden.  Please state your point of view.      

   
3. Along with the increase of education rates in women all over the world, how do couples negotiate differently nowadays?

   
4.Who has more power in a relationship? Do you think it depends on economy?

   
5.Some people think that age differences really matter. For instance, a man gets married to a woman who is younger than himself, thus transferring a lot of bargaining power away from her to him. So the woman who is in such kind of relationship would have less power in decision making than those who are married to a similar-age man. Do you agree with that?

   
6.If women continue to **outearn men, what other changes do you see?

   
7.Do you think talking about money or income is an embarrassing issue within marriage relation?

   
vocabulary explanation:*Bargaining power is the relative ability of parties in a situation to exert influence over each other. If both parties are on an equal footing in a debate, then they will have equal bargaining power,such as in a perfectly competitive market, or between an evenly matched monopoly and monopsony.
**outearn means one earns more than the other.

Some love quotes
1.        When you love someone, it's something. When someone loves you, it's another thing. When you love the person who loves you back, it's everything.
2.        The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and to be loved in return.
3.        It's hard to tell your mind to stop loving someone when your heart still does.
4.        Don't fall in love with someone you can live with, fall in love with someone you can't live without.
5.        Love is when you don't want to go to sleep because reality is better than a dream.
6.        Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was beyond my control.
