Detailed explanation-1: -“Serving a Husband: Women leave their families to marry, and the husband is the master of the household [they marry into]. … The husband is to be firm, the wife soft; conjugal affections follow from this. While at home, the two of you should treat each other with the formality and reserve of a guest.
Detailed explanation-2: -Confucianism advocates love with distinctions-one always loves one’s family first and then moves outward. Mencius said, “support your own parents and raise your own children first (so others will fellow), then others, ‘’ and “in poverty, take care of yourself; when prosperous, contribute to the well-being of all.”
Detailed explanation-3: -To the Confucians, marriage is of important significance both in the family and in society. The Confucian classic Book of Rites described marriage as “the union of two surnames, in friendship and in love".
Detailed explanation-4: -According to Confucius, loyalty begins at home. The family is the first society that a child encounters, and relating to other members of the family is the initial political life. Accordingly, the Confucians consider family loyalty to be the basis for learning how to interact with other people generally.
