What is filial piety for a couple?

This entry describes filial piety, as a couple issue, as the question of what each spouse owes their own parents in time, money, and presence, and what that costs the marriage. It treats the topic as a negotiation between two adults about care and limits, not as a lecture on whether one person is a good son or daughter.

What this entry does not do

It does not preach a duty, insult a tradition, or say that caring for parents must come before the spouse in every case.
