in traditional Asian culture, the family unit is privileged over the needs of the individual. “The individual is seen as the sum of all the generations of his or her family” (Lee & Mock, 2005, p. 274). Further, “marriages are arranged by parents or grandparents to ensure family prosperity and propagation of the husband’s family line” (Lee & Mock, 2005, p. 274). Another important point to consider is “The primary relationship is more likely to be the parent-child dyad, rather than that of the husband-wife” (p. 274).
