There are diverse ways to prove you love your other significant. In China, they have a tradition that aims to prove or indicate that you do love your partner.
The tradition is slowly fading away. It’s no longer a requirement. Some do it on their own to prove their faithfulness and commitment to their relationships.
The tradition dictates a man has to prove he loves his wife and is committed to the relationship. This involves carrying his lady on his hands while walking on a burning coal that stretches a few centimetres.
Additionally, it is a sign that the woman will deliver her baby smoothly as she will experience less labour pains.
Lastly, they believe this will bring good luck to the man’s family and his community. The man will become wealthy and the community will be blessed by the gods as a result of this action.

Love is beyond physical trials…Physical trials may prove commitment…There is nothing new about that type of things, people glorified knights of shinning armour once..
Kindness may need bravery but it is beyond this ..
You are right. Love is beyond physical trials. Love is determined by how one respects and loves with his/her wife/husband.
it may demonstrate commitment, but it doesn’t prove love…
Yes, love is an ever evolving thing. You can’t measure it in one place or prove it during a certain ocassion.
ergo, such displays are useless
It’s a religion tradition here rather than showing the sign of love to the partner.
Thanks for updating me about this traditional practice.
BTW,would you or your partner do this? 😛
I doubt my partner would do that. I don’t think I have that brevity. But, I can always try?
Haha!Me too, I heard it’s not too heat if you walk fast and be focus, would you?
In that case, I can do it. But I will have to subject my feet to some heat before doing it.
It’s an incredible tradition, but I wouldn’t walk on embers
Yah, me too. Thanks for stopping by.
It’s a very interesting & strange custom, thank you so much for sharing!!!
Thank you, Anastasia. I agree it’s both interesting and strange.
Strange , but I guess fidelity is in the heart . The Bible talks about people walking on fire to worship other Gods.
I agree with you. You can prove outward but what matters most is your heart. If the heart isn’t stable, the outward actions don’t matter. The heart will betray the action.
I would call this an endurance test which perhaps we could see those in the Army doing it before passing the test
That’s true. It is an endurance test to prove their loyalty. But, it is my hope they will live up to it through actions that result from their heart.
Pardon me for saying this but it’s crazy to walk on burning coal to prove something.
Don’t worry about it. The people want to prove it but I believe it’s better you show your faithfulness through actions that spring from the condition of your heart. Not through walking on burning coals.
Amazing to read the different cultures and traditions around the world.
Yah. Some traditional practices from certain tribes or languages are weird, others amazing and others quiet interesting.
