The wedding ceremony - a long-standing cultural beauty of the Vietnamese people - has now become a burden for many young couples. How many trays of gifts and how much money is considered "enough" to satisfy both families? This week's program "The Power of Women" with actors Anh Pham, Cao Xuan Tai and psychologist To Nhi A will discuss frankly, revealing a multi-dimensional perspective on the wedding ceremony: spiritual value or invisible pressure?

Dowry - one of the long-standing customs and also a cultural beauty of Vietnamese people, is brought by the groom's family to the bride's family during the engagement ceremony or wedding ceremony. This is not only an expression of sincerity and respect, but also considered as a blessing for a perfect marriage. At the same time, the dowry also has a profound meaning, showing the seriousness of the groom's family in the marriage and is a symbol of the bond between the two families.

However, in today's fast-paced life, the dowry is often more focused on material value than its original meaning. Inadvertently, this becomes a heavy pressure on the shoulders of young couples preparing to get married.

This week's episode of the program Power of Women will feature actress Anh Pham, actor-model Cao Xuan Tai and psychologist To Nhi A. Together, they will discuss, analyze and provide objective, multi-dimensional perspectives around the topic: How much is enough?

In each of us, surely everyone has dreamed of a wedding of their own, where we are the main character. Happy to receive blessings from everyone.

However, the reality makes couples “disillusioned” when they realize that marriage is not only a matter of two people, but also a story of two families, associated with expectations and financial pressure. How much dowry is enough to show respect? How big must the wedding party be to make both families feel “proud”? And do the wedding dress, wedding flowers, or the splendor of the space really determine long-term happiness?

Audience member My Linh asked a thoughtful question: “If marriage focuses on financial issues, will the children be truly happy in the future?” Indeed, showing off has never been a measure of love. The core lies in whether the two people have enough love, understanding and work together to build a happy, sustainable home.

However, there are still many couples who want to hold a grand wedding with the thought that "life only happens once". In some special circumstances, such as families with only one child, especially a daughter, the story becomes even more awkward.

Understanding this, actor Anh Pham shared: When getting married, both should prepare a certain amount of money to take care of everything properly, to please both families.

Saving together is not only a preparation for the big day, but also an opportunity to strengthen relationships, learn how to accompany each other and practice financial management in future married life.

The wedding is not only an event for the bride and groom, but also the day when two families officially connect with each other. Therefore, with the theme name "How much is enough?" - "enough" is not only the amount of money spent, not only the dowry or the lavish feast, but also the satisfaction and pride of both parents, relatives and friends. More importantly, it is "enough" for the young couple to enter marriage without having to carry the burden of debt or pressure.

As MC Kha Nhu shared profoundly: Marriage is not a matter of two people, but a connection between two families. This saying clearly depicts that a wedding is not only a celebration of love, but also the beginning of a new relationship.

So, in your opinion, how much is really “enough” for a happy day to be complete and meaningful? To find the answer, we invite you to watch the program “The Power of Women” broadcast at 7:15 p.m. every Friday on THVL1 channel.
