5. Comments from the Memorable 700th Married Couple
(1) Comment from the husband (Early 30s)
a. Good points of using Koi-tama
I was able to use it with peace of mind because it involves background checks and is a public marriage support service by Saitama Prefecture. Also, there were many notifications about matchmaking events, which I thought was great.
b. Good points of getting married
Since we haven't officially registered the marriage or started living together yet, there are no major changes, but it's good that we are able to have more concrete discussions about marriage and our future.
(2) Comment from the wife (Early 30s)
a. Good points of using Koi-tama
It was available at a discounted rate, and knowing that Saitama Prefecture is involved in its operation gave me a sense of security. I'm also glad I used it because I could expect to meet people locally.
b. Good points of getting married
We can share everyday little events, joyful moments, and tough times, which has given me a sense of security and emotional support. I'm looking forward to accumulating various experiences together in the future.
