How to say "I think" if there is more than one sentence.


So usually when saying 'I think' you use 'と思います' but that is normally used
with a single sentence like '美味しかったと思います。' But how do you say 'I think' when
you have multiple sentences? For example I am trying to say.

> 'Is marriage or work more important for them?' If marriage is more
> important, they should get married. If work is more important, they should
> not get married and work, I think.'

I have got this so far (I know that it is very bad so I'm sorry about it, I
haven't done many constructions like this before.)

> この人のために、結婚か仕事は一番大切ですか。結婚は一番大切なら、結婚します。仕事は一番大切なら、結婚をしませんしはたらきます。

(I'm sorry I know this paragraph is a grammatical mess.) I am answering a
question so I would like to add 'I think' so it doesn't sound like I am saying
she should do this for certain.




> how do you say 'I think' when you have multiple sentences?

I think you could say 「～～て形、～～終止形 + べきだ + と思う」, as in...

> その人にとって、結婚と仕事のどちらが（より）大切ですか。  
>  結婚が（より）大切なら結婚 **して** 、仕事が（より）大切なら結婚｛しないで/せずに｝働くべき **だと思い** ます。

You could also use [大事]{だいじ} or [重要]{じゅうよう} instead of 大切.

or...

> その人にとって、結婚と仕事のどちら（の[方]{ほう}）が大事ですか。  
>  結婚（の方）が大事なら結婚 **して** 、仕事（の方）が大事なら結婚｛しないで/せずに｝働くべき **だと思い** ます。
