This paper examines gender differences in the views of marriage and family between women and men in China based on the data collected from the Network Survey Data of the Views of Marriage and Family in 2011. This study finds that there are significant differences between women and men on many aspects，including the idea of marriage，the standards of choosing a spouse，the functions of family，the opinion of mode and gender division of work，and the management of marital property. Based upon the analysis and interpretation of these gender differences，this paper proposes ways to promote gender equality and establish progressive views of marriage and family.
