This article presents the findings of a study on Chinese people’s preparation for marriage. Chinese people in Hong Kong hold positive attitudes towards preparation for marriage, but their scope of concern in preparation is narrow. Their awareness of the problems after marriage is limited. The source of help in preparation issues is confined to informal networks. They also have limited knowledge about premarital counselling services and their participation in these programmes is rather low
