Even when in their own home public shows of affection are not acceptable. This division can also be seen in physical ways. There are three doors in a traditional house. Men and women are supposed to enter from different doors unless they are a member of the house. Women are supposed to use the door which is leads to the public end of the house.
Men use the door which leads to the more private end of the house.
The final way that separation of sexes is seen in traditional Fijian culture is through the fact that they used to have arranged marriages. These marriages were set up by the families. Their function was to strengthen relations between families. Churches, high schools, parents, and village life all send the message to adolescents not to date while under twenty-one. Village attitudes also support the separation even after the age of twenty-one.
