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."
