Heavily influenced by the practices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Utah dating norms can stray wildly from norms across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22109260\" src=\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584137743148-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584137743148-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584137743148-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584137743148-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584137743148-335x224.jpg 335w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584137743148-1050x701.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584137743148.jpg 1079w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At USU, China is the most common country for international students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest differences between the cultures is online dating and public affection. After only a short time at USU, Mormon culture will be noticeable. In China, dating and affection in public are much more common, which may be due to fewer people dating at USU overall or just cultural differences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another difference is the age at which people tend to date and get married.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meredith Wang, a professor at USU, said high school kids are not usually allowed to date in China because parents and teachers tell them it will distract them from their studies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wang said that once in college, Chinese people date more than Aggies do. However, they also said Utahns will, in general, get married much sooner and during school more often than Chinese people do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Chinese culture, careers and schooling often take precedence, ending with couples split up across the vast nation. The couples will date more seriously and get married more in the workplace than in college due to the uncertainty college can create for their futures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much parents get involved in their children\u2019s dating is another important part of the culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cParents are usually not involved in the dating part,\u201d Wang said. \u201cBut if a couple decides to get married, parents will be very involved in the decision and the process.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although many Chinese parents will be very judgemental about their child\u2019s fianc\u00e9, taking into account their home, family and degree. But in recent generations parents have become more lenient about who their children date and decide to marry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22109261\" src=\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584133579770-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584133579770-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584133579770-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584133579770-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584133579770-335x335.jpg 335w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584133579770-1050x1050.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584133579770-912x912.jpg 912w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584133579770-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584133579770-470x470.jpg 470w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584133579770.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014<a href=\"mailto:william.bultez@aggiemail.usu.edu\">william.bultez@aggiemail.usu.edu<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>@willistheginger<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the state of Utah is not known for being a melting pot of races and ethnicities, one of the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":877975,"featured_media":22109259,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,7376,20,36],"tags":[8818,7512,187,8810],"class_list":["post-22109258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-hitched","category-features","category-student-life","tag-cultural","tag-hitched","tag-traditions","tag-weddings"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>HITCHED - Marriage traditions in other cultures - The Utah Statesman<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"HITCHED - Marriage traditions in other cultures\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/hitched-marriage-traditions-in-other-cultures\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"HITCHED - Marriage traditions in other cultures - The Utah Statesman\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"HITCHED - Marriage traditions in other cultures\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/hitched-marriage-traditions-in-other-cultures\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"The Utah Statesman\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UtahStatesman\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-04-12T22:00:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-04-13T17:44:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fb_img_1584138532851.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1080\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"720\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"William Bultez\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@UtahStatesman\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@UtahStatesman\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"William Bultez\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/hitched-marriage-traditions-in-other-cultures\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/hitched-marriage-traditions-in-other-cultures\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"William Bultez\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/#\/schema\/person\/d891da9bf7c8970556ef748b9a335577\"},\"headline\":\"HITCHED &#8211;
