Answer to Question 1

Cultural values can decrease the number of singles. Many Asian American households see the family as the core of society. Among Chinese Americans, for example, divorce rates are much lower than in the general population. Divorced women find it difficult to survive economically and are not readily accepted in the community. As a result, many Chinese women avoid divorcing and becoming single again at almost all costs.

Answer to Question 2

When we feel comfortable in another person's presence, we feel more comfortable self- disclosing our personal hopes, dreams, fears, and goals. Self-revelation refers to self-disclosure; self-disclosure deepens a couple's relationship.
