"Marriage is money."
I'm Haruka, 29 years old. I'm looking for a marriage partner.
Haruka: Oh, Rin. I just got an e-mail from a guy I met on the matching site.
Rin: Yea.
Haruka: But he said his annual income is 1 million yen.
Rin: 1 million yen a year... Does he live in a well or something?
Haruka: Hey, don't be so rude.
Haruka: You know, I'm kinda rushed. And I'm wondering if I can be happy even if my partner doesn't earn enough.
Rin: I see. Of course it depends on each person, but I think I should tell you the conclusion. "You can't be happy."
Haruka: Ehhhhhh!!
Haruka: Why's that?
Rin: There are two reasons.
Rin: The first, "Earning a lot is enough reason to respect the guy."
Haruka: Respect?
Rin: Yeah. The best marital relationship is respecting each other.
Rin: If the guy can earn a lot, that can be enough reason to be respected by women.
Haruka: You're right.
Rin: You can say "I don't need money. Love is all I need." only while you're in love with him.
Rin: According to brain science, romance expires in about 3 years.
Haruka: Ehhh...
Rin: That's because the dopamine effects can't last more than 3 years.
Rin: That means, your romance will turn sour in 3 years.
Haruka: Only 3 years!?
Haruka: What about love?
Rin: 4 years.
Haruka: Oh my!!
Rin: If you can't respect your partner at that time, you'll break up with him.
Haruka: OK... Respect is important.
Haruka: But why earning money is considered so respectable?
Rin: I'll give you the answer.
Rin: If the guy has the ability to earn a lot, even in case his house is burnt down or in case he shouldered someone's debt, he can come back from scratch.
Rin: Women are attracted to his vitality and toughness.
Haruka: That makes sense.
Rin: Also, the ability to earn a lot is equivalent to the ability to do something for people.
Rin: If you want to live with the guy, you'll need to find that kind of respectable factor, or you'll fail.
Haruka: Yeah, I can imagine it.
