Whether to marry with similar people or not is an interesting topic, for people never get to a consensus due to their distinct experience and backgrounds. However, as far as I am concerned, it is better to take the former choice, after balancing the pros and cons of both sides. Here follows the potent support: For one thing, we know instinctively that marriage is far more that living together under one roof. In stead, there are a large variety of interactions from time to time both physically and mentally. Without those basic elements, marriage is nothing but an apartment. Take my parents for example, they have already got married for 25 years, yet neither of them feel tired of the counterpart. When I was a little girl, I was inevitably wondering that why they enjoyed every minute so much they spent together. Gradually, I begin to understand that it is simply because they share various interests. In raining days, they will read ancient Chinese poems inside, While in sunny days, they will take a hike to the countryside, bring their dog "Mary" together. No matter when they are hanging out for a movie or watching TV programs at home, this couple is sharing the same enjoyment. They love the other one since they understand each other so well and no one can take place of either of them. It is unquestionable that our acquaintances all appreciate and admire the great marriage of my father and mother sincerely. To such a paramount reason, another point should also be added. Currently, especially during recent 20 years, sociologists as well as ordinary people keep arguing on the increasing rate of divorcing which we have not seen in the generation of our parents years ago. From my personal angle, the most significant difference between the two generations is that nowadays youth emphasize on the individualism so much that they can not stand up with living together, for the conflicts in the relationship are out of control. However, there might be a multitude of people still live under the illusion that distinct interests plus living habits will provide the couple more topics. Unfortunately, this is only part of the picture. They fail to mention the fact that marriage has never been a meeting and it will not to be. Taking into account all the discussions above, I can naturally come to my conclusion that people will own a wonderful marriage as long as there are more similarities between them, for the most precious part of a marriage is "harmony".
