More Marriages During Economic Downturn?

Long—term commitment may be far from the minds of most people during this period of downturn but for some, now is as good a time to settle down.

28—year—old civil servant Grace Cheung and 30—year—old business analyst Jang Chee Ming started making plans for their wedding at the end of last year, just when the financial meltdown was taking effect.

Although they were a little worried about finances at first, recession or not, they are still going ahead with their wedding, to be held in January next year.

More Marriages During Economic Downturn?I thought economic downturn should be bad for families and marriages. Housing and stock market all go down. More people are laid off. Some people have to struggle with bankruptcies and foreclosures.

Fights over money become more common. I am not sure it is a good time to settle down? Unless it is a marriage of convenience??
