They seemed to do it just because they needed each other. They didn't love each other in the beginning. It was also dangerous getting married while they were being chased through the jungle. Two is better than one, so ya, I probably would have done the same.
The physical attraction lead more for the mother from the father. Perhaps the need for companionship was sought through marriage as well. Although the two did not love each other at first, the time spent away from each other ironically created a connection between the two. Soon, they realized they needed each other. Later, they created a family. Not knowing what would happen next considering the condition of the jungle, I'd probably take my chances and get married. If I come out alive, I could start a family and pass on the stories just as Kao Kalia Yang's parents did.
Because of the a war of no tomorrow they scare to lose each other forever. When they marry they thought the feeling they have for each other is a love; however, after marriage, spending the time together in the tough time of war make them realize that they love each other for real now. The feeling they have for each other now is different from beginning.
Kao Kalia Yang's parents wanted to get married because they were probably thinking tomorrow isn't promised so pretty much what they were trying to do is to make it seem like it's their last day on earth so they were trying to live it up. They also didn't want to lose each other and they both needed each others help in the war. I would of done the same thing they did.
It was someone they connected to when there seemed to be no hope. They were happy together and it was something they didn't feel often during the war. I probably would have done the same, because happiness is very important to me.
I was under the impression that her parents wanted to get married but her mother did not agree to continue her journey with her father's family. I thought that it was more of a spur of the moment thing. I think the primary reason they did this was so that they could have something to look forward to each day. It was hard times for them so I think they were looking for the slightest things to make the days go by quicker.
I believed it was more of an excitement of meeting someone new during a time like that and age having a big role to play. They were two very young people who lives were caught up in a fight to survive without knowing if there really will be a tomorrow. At the age that they met, when one like, it like love for it young love, one believe it whole heartily then take the consequence later. I might take the chance and marry but i do not know until the time come.
really, the big reason why most people would get married at all is because they care so much about that significant other that they are to be bonded by marriage. yes, kao's parents were in a time of war and had a very handicapped and rocky marriage, but it was because they cared so much for one another that it was imparitive to do what you can today because tomarrow may never be.
I think like many of us, they didn't realize how much they needed each other until they were separated so if they felt that strongly towards each other then why not. It wasn't like things were going to get worst if they did so why not. I would totally do it. Who knows if we're going to make it out alive or not might as well be married to the person that we love for however long it may be. like many people say "live today as though there is no tomorrow!"
I believe they got married because they didn't want to lose each other and needed each other. If that was me I think I would do the same, not knowing whats gonna come tomorrow.
The got married because they needed and loved each other. I think that marriage makes a couple stronger and that's what it did in this case. They didn't know about a tomorrow, but they were sure, that they will be together forever, no matter what.
I also agree with many of your comments. I think more than marriage for love, they got married because they needed each other. In a time of war, especially for a young woman it was better to have a man to depend on. Instead of having to go through all of it alone. They married for needs but eventually loved each other and became attached.
I think it has something to do culturally. I am from South Asia and marriage is something people believe is sacred and its a mission type of thing. Parents insist their kids to get married in their lifetime because its a big support in tough times.
During times of war, I would need the person that I am in love with to be strong with me as we both struggle to survive the war. I would have done the same, and because of that bond we share, it would always be that powerful event that keeps us together. If it felt right to get married right then and there, more power to them. I would most certainly do the same.
