| The main theme |
Mate selection as a gambling process:
The participants allowed themselves only a brief dating period, so decision is not based on significant acquaintance of the partner |
Mate selection as a screening process:
The participants approached the process with a fixed internal representation of the “right” type of partner, and during the process, examined the extent of which the potential partner fit this model |
Mate selection as a social process:
The participants experienced a conflict of loyalties between social and religious values, "forcing" young people to get married quickly, and their desire for self-fulfillment |
Mate selection as an internal process:
The participants examined potential partners from a personal point of view and mentioned the fact that they had not allowed the traditional and social space to influence their choice |
