Marriage is a very important social institution. Every individual wants to have a perfect match, but the criteria for choosing the partner is different. In love marriages, individuals prefer to choose their partners on their own, while in case of arrange marriages individuals prefers partners chosen by their family or parents. There is a continuous debate regarding the best way to choose the partner for marriage. Let’s analyze which one of the two is better.

I do not know if there is a right or wrong way. Yes, coming out of the USA, it seems odd for arranged marriages, but that has been done thousands of years now and it has lasted.
For me, I took the approach of dating my wife for 3 years and then we moved into together for 2 years and than we got married. For me the best part was the 2 years living together. You can truly see how it will work out. After 2 years of living together, I realized, that we are still both very happy and 21 years later I know we made the right choice.

Marriage is a long time commitment. You have to choose for the right person whom you can be with you forever in good and bad times. Much better if you really choose the person to whom you suit of or else it's just nothing.

Agreed, but sometimes, person changes after marriage. I mean not every individual but there are few.

@Umesh_K yes! But it falls to another story...there's a big deal if you marry that certain woman/man because your parents choose him/her. There's a big deffernce if you yourself will choose for the right person for you to marry. Less possibility will happen on changes of behavior if the two of you getting to know more often each other before getting married.
