Family or career – Which is more important for an Asian woman?

  Last updated: May 3, 2018

Being in a relationship with an Asian woman is hugely rewarding but working out which aspects of their life hold a higher priority can be a challenge.

International dating has opened up the world for singles to meet each other and form relationships that would never have been possible until now. With all of this access to women from other parts of the worlds, there are understandably a few challenges when it comes to integrating with new cultures.

Let’s create a happy family!

If you’re dating an Asian woman, it’s important to know where her priorities may be when it comes to certain aspects of her life. Perhaps the biggest hurdle in terms of consolidating a happy home life is figuring out her view when it comes to the age-old family versus career contest.

The importance of family in Asia for an Asian woman

In Asia, family and career are hugely important. For an Asian woman, there is most definitely a balance to be struck, and it may differ slightly in some scenarios.

Overall, the family will likely be of a higher priority though. Across Asia, the family is hugely important, and, from an early age, Asian women will come to value the importance and significance of a strong family unit.

Therefore, once an Asian woman meets a man and potentially considers settling down with him for the rest of her life, knowing that he shares a commitment to family is very important. There will also be an expectation that the man will play his part in helping to form a solid family structure.

Having a strong career is also vital

Despite the lean in priority toward her family, it’s worth knowing that most Asian women will be hugely ambitious and have hopes of achieving success in their own professional careers. Increasingly, Asia has seen women enter more high-powered jobs than they may have done in years gone by, and it’s now common to see ambitious career-driven women.

And this is where getting the balance right is so important. If you’re in a relationship with an Asian woman, you’re going to be expected to play your part in helping her enjoy both of these elements.

Sure, family will always come first, but it may be that you will have to help to manage domestic responsibilities when work comes calling, enabling both of you to enjoy a healthy balance between career and family.
