Critical experiments

Model one: Women are more eager for love. Generally speaking, women appear to be more
eager for love in many films, novels and stories. They suddenly fall in love with someone after
the first meet.

Model two: Men are the support of the families, so they spend more time on studying and
working than searching for love. Men regard to career or job as the most crucial thing after
graduation. They need to make money and support their family, so they have to work hard before
getting married.
Model three: Women like children, so they want to have their children after marriage. (They
want to become a mother.) Usually, women are playing the role of taking care of children in
most families since they are merciful.

Experiment 1: After graduation, women prefer to get married to men who are older.
Dependent variable: Older men. For a marriage to take place, the man must be older than the
woman.
Independent variable: Marriage. Marriage has to take place after graduation.
Outcome: 1. Women are sensitive to the age of since they are considered to age more than men.
A woman wants to look younger than the man hence will look for a man that is older to get
married to.

2. Since women want to get married after graduation more than their male counterparts, they
   have to seek older men, or they will wait for long before getting married.
   Implications: 3. Men have less to worry about in the sense of marriage like giving birth and
   taking care of children is mostly left to women. Men are just supposed to provide financially and
   are therefore not eager to get married before they get stable income.
3. Men have more responsibility to take care for and mostly prefer younger women. Since they
   have to marry women that have already graduated, they have first to concentrate on their job as
   they wait for the younger women to graduate.

The experiment supports model two.

Experiment 2: Marriage does not require a person to be financially stable.
Dependent variable: Marriage
Independent variable: Financial stability
To make the variables work, men and women must be eager for marriage after graduation.
Implications: 1. Women will fall in love with a man even if he doesn’t have money since they
just want to be loved hence they can get married without being financially stable.

2. There are a lot of responsibilities that arise after marriage and men are the ones looked upon.
   Though there is love, a man has to consider having finances before marriage.
3. Children are part of the family and to bring out children requires finances. It is, therefore,
   impeccable that financial stability is established before getting married.
   The experiment supports model one.

Experiment 3: Men and Women get married to get children
Dependent variable: Children
Independent variable: Marriage
Outcomes: 1. Love and financial stability do not have to exist for children to be born. A man and
a woman can just get married and have children.

2. There are expenses that must be incurred for the pregnancy and the whole process of giving
   birth.
   The experiment supports model three.
