1667000 1670000 有,可是比较少, 1670000 1674000 因为结婚以前,男女双方彼此比较了解, 1674000 1680000 又经过相当的考虑,所以离婚的不太多。 1680000 1685000 我听说,中国有一些夫妇不在一个地区工作, 1685000 1690000 不住在一个地方,这会不会有问题呢? 1690000 1696000 夫妇不在一个地方工作,虽然每年有半个月的探亲价, 1696000 1698000 但是还有很多不方便, 1698000 1704000 所以为了让他们更好的工作和学习,应当帮他们解决这个问题。 1704000 1711000 对极了,夫妇总是能够在一起比较好。 1711000 1715000 这就是结婚结婚的结尾。 1715000 1741000 结婚,结婚,结婚,结婚,结婚,结婚。
