Do you think that most of the love marriages are not successful?

I got some information from a recent survey that most of the love marriages are not successful. That is most of the love marriages are not long lasting. Whereas arranged marriages are quite successful on the other hand. Based on this research report do you think it is wise to say that arranged marriages are better than love marriages. Or shall we stop falling in love? Or rather we should fall in love but marriage should only be arranged?

the research report may be right. It may be Wrong. if most love marriages are a failure, the reason is simple. it was not love that led them into marriage. its jut the physical attraction. they just jumped into it without thinking about the responsibilities and accountabilities that accompany a married life. many cases one of the partners hide reality from the other. there is nothing wrong in falling in love, but never be blind. fall in love with eyes wide open.

very true... Or maybe the couple were very much inlove at that time when they got married. But, there's a thing called falling out of love. Maybe thats the reason why it fails.

Actually all marriages arrange or based on love... never last... The reason why both of them ain't successful and why arrange marriage seemed to be successful are these: In marriages based on love... once the bond or communication is broken or your being close together seems to break... your relationship is bound for doom. While in arrange marriages... they may seem successful in the outside but... in the inside it's hollow. They don't file for divorce for one reason... why divorce each other when they can play all they want., plus... they have the comfort og each others assets and their honor is at stake.

hi, please post the link of where you get the survey from... so we can read it also. different countries have different views and ways on how people get married. here in our country most people marry for love, i have known many couples who get married for love and have their relationship going strong. i think it would hard if you fall for somebody and marry somebody else because it was arranged and the survey says arranged marriage are successful than those based on love.

In my opinion, marriage is a lifelong career. No pains, no gains. May spouses love each other for all seasons!

falling in love is one thing ,marriage is another . I think one you are in love you will think less of the commitment of marriage,or you did not plan to marry this person . In my opinion , once you want to marry someone , you have to think carefully , if you have the same interest ,if you can endure his(her)disadvantage. when you plan to marry , you'd better ask advice from your friends or relative , i think they can give you suggestions in a different perspective.
