What is the exact meaning behind the title "Modern Family?"?
It means the types of families you see today. Interracial couples with a child from a previous marriage. Gay couple with a baby, etc. It's showing that as a society it's no longer the traditional family image of a heterosexual couple who are high school or college sweethearts getting married with 2.5 kids and the woman stays at home while the man works etc.
A couple who loved each other truly had to get married to someone else due to family pressure. How do they feel about it now?
The couple loved each other still got married to someone else…this happens in many cases..some of the couples end their life because they cannot see their partner living with someone else..they only want to live with each other.Some of the couples move on after geting married…they cannot completely forget their love..but when they get married..they have their own family..so they try to be happy as they are..It is very very difficult to leave your loved one and get married to someone else…only the ones who have experienced it can tell exactly how it feels…when tou are in love with someone..you imagine your every moment with them…you feel as if you want them every second…you cannot inagine living with someone else other than your partner….But because of the family pressure..some couple have to do this…i think this is the familys mistake…when you separate two loved ones…God never bless them..it is the worst sin i suppose..Being seperated from your partner is the worst feeling ever…i cannot even imagine a single secind without my girlfriend…she is my breath…wherever i will go..she will be with me…and i am gonna marry her..thats for sure…It is the responsibility of the family members to understand where their daughter or son is happy..if they are happy with a particular person…they should let them marry to him/her.People should try to understand the beauty of love…because it is the best experience abyone can have..:it is the best feeling anyone can ever feel. It is the best of all.Hope it helps!:)
Why are young couples who are in love looked down upon?
I completely agree with you. My boyfriend and I have been together pretty much for 6 years (on and off) and we have been together consecutively for 3 and half years. I met him when I was 14 and now we are both 20 and 21. When I was younger people would always say that we needed to see what else was out there. We both did briefly but ended up back with eachother...which did make everything even more amazing. We are more in love than most married couples in my opinion. We have fun together, we rarely ever fight and if we do it's over a tiny thing and it's finished in like 20 min, we have the same sense of humor, our families love both of us together. I am telling you though, I am sick to death of hearing people thinking we are too young...but I think it is the maturity of the relationship and the people in the relationship that really matters. If you are compatible with eachother and in a healthy relationship then who's business is it anyway? I think we are very fortunate to find someone we love so young because people will search their whole lives for someone and still never be truly happy or have failed marriages. In all honesty it could very well be jealousy on their part..that might sound cynical but I don't know what else it could be...they are the ones being cynical. My boyfriend actually just recently joined the navy and we are getting engaged...(but not married 'til after I graduate school)...and people always tell me the commitment is too much for people our age and "oh how can you deal with that? I'd leave him" and yadda yadda. It's just extremely disrespectful for people to say those kinds of things and question your relationship and commitment towards eachother when it really isn't any of their business. Anyways I know I didn't really answer your question but I wanted to share my thoughts...because I find myself thinking the same thing. But we are the lucky ones :) They'll see!
Is 4,000 CAD per month enough for a couple to live decent in Canada?
It depends very much where in Canada and what you consider decent living. For reference according to CBC average rent prices for a 2 bedroom can range from $594 to $1552 per month: Rents increasing at twice the rate of inflation across Canada, CMHC saysKeep in mind these are average prices that people actually pay. Because of rent control, the actual price you’d pay if you were to rent an apartment today would be higher than that. In case you are unfamiliar with rent control this means that a landlord can only increase your rent by a certain % per month. But if you move out they can set the price for the next tenant as they see fit. In Toronto specifically this generally means hundreds if not thousands of dollars higher.Even within a city the price can vary wildly. A studio apartment downtown Toronto can go for $2000/month. While out in the outskirts you can find something for $1000/month or less.In terms of lifestyle, what kind of neighbourhood do you want to live in? How many bedrooms? Do you want a car? How often do you go out for food and/or drinks?Here are some numbers for Toronto specifically. Other places in Canada for example Montreal or Halifax can be drastically cheaper.Rent$800-1000/month for a 1 bedroom in the outskirts.. this would likely be in a basement with poor access to public transit$2500/month for a 1 bedroom downtownOwning a car$150-$400/month car insurance depending on car and length of driving record$200/month parking downtown or free in the outskirtsGas $1.20/litreAn oil change $40Public transport$3-$3.25 per one way trip depending how you buy the ticket$146.25/month for a pass2 people going out for food and 1 drink each$15 at a cheap fast food$30 at a cheap restaurant$120 at a fancy restaurantGroceries$200-$400/month/person depending on how frugal you are
