Hi meshugupta,Welcome to mylot!Of course i go for a love marriage,because i'm sure that you love and understand each other. While in arrange marriage,you dont have love and it is really hard to adjust every situation in your life.Besides you did'nt know his/her behaviour. Any way,in order to have a happy life you will work hard for it to achieve.Good luck!

Well, this question is really a cultural one. Different cultures have different customs when it comes to love and marriage. I can't imagine being part of an arranged marriage, because I think that a relationship is something that needs to be something you choose and work on and grow, and in order for that to happen there need to be common interests or world views. But as I said, other cultures do things differently. I would never let someone tell me who I was going to marry, and I don't believe in marrying unless there is love, because marriage is something that even the closest couple has to make an effort with. I have never been married, but I do have pretty strong ideals for what I would expect, and I probably wouldn't even trust another person to set me up with a stranger for dinner and a movie, much less a lifetime of marriage. So, I am definitely about a love-marriage and not an arranged marriage, but I respect that other cultures do things differently, even if I can't completely understand it.
