The number of people who give their job first priority than love and marriage for both man and woman is increasing now. These day, it is tendency to marry later. Many people want to marry after being in their thirties. They think that they want to throw themselves into their job in the meantime.
For a marital relationship, it's the best that husband and wife has been like a close friend. The reason why they can lead a pleasant married life by what each other are en equal position and always have sense of a best friend. I think that husband and wife must not have an extramarital affair after marriage.
It is more fun and cheerful to have a child in a married life, but it's not always duty of a woman to have a child.
There are still arrenged marriages even now, because it's the most appropriate way to find a partner for men and women really hoping marriage. A current omiai is one of a more secure and certain of meeting places. So, there are still omiai in Japan.

1.Is Japanese life affected by superstitions?
I think Japanese life is affected by superstitions. Japanese people believe superstitions well when we hold a special ceremony. For example, we avoid performing the last offices on a day of "tomobiki". Since it is regarded as taking friends along the great beyond by performing the last offices on "tomobiki", so it is unlucky to hold a funeral on the day. And one more thing is a wedding ceremony. Many people tend to like holding a wedding ceremony on a day of "taian". It is believed that all of what we perform are good on the day, a wedding ceremony, inauguration and new beginning in particularly. Many Japanese like to believe in omens frequently.

2.What superstitions do you practice? Which ones? Why?
I write "hito(person)" of Chinese character on the center of my plam three times and gulp down it when I feel nervous before I make a speech in front of people. The reason why I want to boost my self-esteem, feel at ease and draw on the strength of somesting. It is the same as taking a lucky charm when we take an examination . In addition, since it is the superstition that it is better known from my childhood, and it is a kind of a charm.

1,Time is money.
I think that we should not waste time because time is as important as money. We can't look at time and, can't have time eternally. Therefore we must value time.

2,A stitch in time saves nine.
If you have a small hole in a cloth, you can repair it with one stitch. But if you wait, the hole will get longer, and it will take you nine stitches. So this proverb tells us to take care of small problems before they become big problems.

3,There 's no time like the present.
I think that we should carry it out immediately when we decide to start something. It's the best day when we begin to start something. If we put off what we want to start something from now, we would lose our confidence.

4,Let's meet at four. If I'm not there by five, leave without me at six, and I'll be there at seven.
I have no idea about this saying. I think that a person who said this sentence is not punctual and is indecisive about time. So that means that we should be punctual for an appointment.
