In The Giver, spouses are chosen by the Committee of Elders based on compatibility in personality and temperament. The decision is made around the age of 17 or 18, and the couple is expected to have children together. Love and personal preference are not factors in the selection process.
Spouses in "The Giver" are chosen for citizens through a process of observation and analysis by the community's Elders, who consider factors like compatibility, temperament, and personality to make the most suitable matches. It is a regulated process to ensure harmony and stability within the community.
For spouses, people are "assigned" to each other. For children, they are once again "assigned" to their children - 1 boy 1 girl. Both you have to apply for.
In "The Giver," spouses are assigned children when they apply for parental roles at the Ceremony of Twelve. Once selected, the children are assigned to them by the Committee of Elders.
Jonas suggests the possibility of choosing their own spouses in Chapter 20 of "The Giver." He questions the current system where spouses are assigned to each other.
Elders consider factors like compatibility, shared values, family background, and socioeconomic status when matching spouses in "The Giver." They aim to create stable and harmonious relationships that align with the community's values and goals.
Their Assignment is chosen for them based on how they act and what they do.
The responsibilities of the Committee of Elders are to assign spouses, assign children, pick Assignments for the Twelve's, etc.
