During the interviews, the samples saw themselves when describing their intimate relationship and recalling their overall developments of intimate relationship—the experience from holding expectation in the beginning till the interferences came from husbands' families then to the tests in the real life followed and turned back to ＂meeting with myself＂ at the end.
