Dear Anon,

It is interesting to note that in China and for Chinese living outside of China in the era prior to 1940's; love is never the first choice.

Most marriages I am aware of, especially during the period before 1940's are arranged marriages.

Thus, LOVE is not the main issue. During that period and earlier... majority of marriages are arranged. There is no opportunity for LOVE at first sight for many youngsters of the time.

Love or DOUBLE Happiness?

It is interesting to note that many people who " fall in love " have ended up in divorce (or a high divorce rate even for the Chinese today).

But DOUBLE Happiness?

I do not want to be cruel but, even if there is no REAL LOVE; perhaps as the Double Happiness symbol suggest, there is still Happiness. As both couples try to stick with each other through sickness or health.

In my opinion, love can be developed... (even thru arranged marriages... where couples go on to their silver jubilee and onwards...) A Chinese saying goes.. from black hair to grey hair.. for the couple.

Thus, what I feel is that the Double Happiness symbol has more meaning than the symbol of a heart. Some even say that a heart with the pointed tail can bring sha qi. Like a triangle ventilation hole above e.g the couples bedroom.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
