How the French Couple Build A Strong Relationship

May 29, 2023

Given the French’s reputation for being romantic, you may wonder how French people build a strong relationship. We had invited two French couples (Julia Gallaux and Thibaut Fourcade; Carlab Jean and Mattei Bessiere) for an interview before. They will share their unique views on romance and marriage.

 

1. Did you always want to get married?

Carlab Jean may be unsure of many things in her life, but the answer is obviously easy for the most important question in her whole life, that is marrying the love of her life.

 

Julia Gallaux also shares her opinion, “l wasn't this little girl dreaming about her wedding. I wouldn’t say that I didn’t want to get married. It was not my ultimate goal.”

 

Marriage is often seen as a product of strong romantic passion. Nevertheless, it is crucial for individuals to maintain a level of independence within the relationship. It is essential to ensure that each partner continues to have their identity while being respectful of one another so that they can build a healthy relationship.

2. How do you know you were right for each other?

Carlab Jean and her couple share 2 indicators to that. The first indicator was love and passion. Mattei Bessiere said“As soon as I saw her, I fell in love with her. It’s an amazing feeling.”And they all agree that the second indicator was that “We were able to completely open up to each other when we exposed our flaws, our cracks and our wounds to each other.”

 

Couples typically know they are right for each other if they share similar values, have good communication, and can support each other through life's ups and downs. They may also have a strong physical and emotional connection and share common goals and interests, which make their relationship work. Ultimately, it is up to each individual in the relationship to determine if they are right for each other.

3. Did your parents give you a good image of marriage?

Carlab Mattei Bessiere shared her own experience and thought her parents didn’t resonate with her at all because her dad was locked in a traditional view of masculinity so that he cannot really open up to his partner.

 

Parents play a significant role in shaping their children’s perception of building a strong relationship. They often pass on their own beliefs, values, and experiences to their offspring, which can shape how they view the institution of marriage.

 

However, it’s essential to remember that everyone has their own unique experiences and opinions. Even with the influence of parents, it is crucial to form your own opinions and beliefs about the concept of marriage based on your own experiences. Ultimately, the decision to get married or not should be a personal one, and it's essential to consider the impact it will have on your life, values, and beliefs.

4. What should be the main money earner in the couple?

 

When it comes to deciding who should be the primary money earner in a couple, Carlab Jean and her couple think there should be no strict rules or expectations. People should be able to make this decision in a way that is comfortable for both parties.

 

Some couples may prefer for one person to be the main earner while the other stays home or works part-time, while others may prefer to split the responsibilities equally.

 

To build a strong relationship, both partners should communicate openly and honestly about their financial goals and expectations, and to work together to find a solution that works best for their individual needs and circumstances.

5. Did you ask her parents for her hand in marriage?

Jean asked Carlab’s father and mother for permission to marry their daughter and they say yes!!

 

In Western society, the practice of asking a woman's father for her hand in marriage is slowly disappearing. Some believe this tradition is rooted in sexism and suggests that women were once viewed as property. As a result, the idea of seeking a father's permission has become less popular. Instead, modern couples often make decisions together and may choose to involve both sides of the family in a collaborative way. While some may see value in preserving traditional practices, overall, the shift towards more egalitarian relationships is a positive development in contemporary society.

6. Should women take the last name of their husbands?

 

It’s one of the common questions to ask before getting married. Most agree that it is not necessary for a woman to take her husband's last name.

 

They can create a new last name that combines both their original names, which is a popular option, especially for couples who want to feel connected to both cultures. Just like Carlab, she created their own surname by combining the two together- “Mattei Bessiere”.

 

Nowadays, more people are making choices based on their opinions and beliefs rather than following traditions, which helps build a strong relationship. Whatever name a couple chooses, it should be based on mutual agreement and respect for each other's culture and heritage.

7. Do you believe one love forever?

Thibaut Fourcade said yes in the interview. People may hold different opinions on “one love forever”. Some may believe such eternal, and unconditional love that endures through life's challenges and obstacles truly exists.

 

On the other hand, some individuals may think “one love forever” unrealistic and unattainable in real life. They may argue that love is not always perfect and that people change and grow apart over time.

 

Since its inception, Darry Ring believes and supports the ideas of “one love forever” by allowing the customers only to customize a ring for their only love. In a decade, more than one million couples chose us and told their love stories, proving that true lovers are not rare species.
