A course at a Shanghai university on love and marriage has proved popular with students.
The Arts of Marriage and Love course at East China Normal University covers a range of topics, including handling broken relationships and how to manage a happy marriage.
Hong Yafei, associate professor of sociology at the university, said, "Years ago, I heard from media reports that several college students committed suicide after experiencing relationship problems.
"It was a real pity and painful to see this happening, so I decided to start an optional course instructing students to establish a healthy attitude toward relationships and to deal with difficulties in relationships properly."
More than 400 students registered for the course, which was only designed for 84. During each session, the classroom was full of students, with some from other universities sitting in.
A student who only gave his name as Xu said, "I had always wondered what was wrong with me and why I always quarreled with my girlfriend.
"I had failed to find a clear answer, but on the course I learned that love and marriage are perceptual, and sometimes problems cannot be solved by rational thinking."
In the class, students frequently asked questions about relationships and marriage, and held discussions with the teacher.
Hong said, "Every week, I received more than 100 slips with students' questions."
Those asked most frequently concerned long-distance relationships, with Hong saying that many students feared such relationships would end up going nowhere.
"I told them that long-distance relationships also have a positive side. They make people miss each other and stimulate the growth of love," he said.
Li, a female student who declined to give her full name, said: "This course is pragmatic and I have learned much from it. During my education, I had never been taught anything about these topics, which are important for young people to reach maturity."
