Some couples choose to "return to their own homes" to celebrate the New Year. Couples in different places should always put their relationship first, marriage counseling experts say.
"I feel more relaxed and comfortable when I return to my parents' house," says one Chinese citizen who has implemented this program. "When we get together again, we feel that we are full of energy," says another Chinese citizen, who has been married for 7 years and has two children. "You should not put too much emphasis on "whose home you must return to" to avoid the fatigue of the journey and family pressure," says a marriage counseling expert.
