KyungIn : The best thing is to try to adopt and admit others’ characteristic. We need true love, even in every situation.
Kamis : Same generation has similar idea. Thus to meet people who have similar culture, religion, or character is better way to marry.
YongHyun : It’s natural to have different ideas even between couples. We have to admire the other’s personality. And don’t try to fit to each other, exactly and unnaturally.

It seems as though you had an extensive discussion on the issues. Regradless of the country, communication and trust are things people have to work on. I think a lot can be said about our parents as role models. Also, it is important to consider how you can grow and work together with your partner. Thank you for sharing your findings.
