I would have to say that I believe that a love marriage is defiantly better in the long run. I mean sure in an arranged marriage you could learn to love the person.. But at the same time what if you marry someone who you don't end up learning to love. What if your personalities clash, or the person turns out to be abusive, or even violent, among other things. Then a person would never truly be happy! I think there are a lot of advantages, but also disadvantages when it comes to both arranged marriages, & also love marriages. I mean in a love marriage, you are given the chance to choose your wife/husband. So in this case you can then generally be a lot happier in the long run even if the marriage doesn't end up working out in the end. In an arranged marriage, you don't have to go through looking for a partner because the person is chosen for you. The disadvantage about this type of marriage is you have the choice to either force yourself to love the person.. Or you have to spend the rest of your life miserable.. I mean you still have a choice, but in a lot of ways if one was to think about it.. You really don't have much of a choice because your forced in to a relationship with someone you barely know. And if your personalities clash, there is not much one can do about it. Personally I would much rather be allowed to choose my own husband. I mean in an arranged marriage you can learn to love the person.. But in my opinion I'd much rather be in love with someone before I decide to marry them. Also I personally would much rather be able to know the person before I decide on taking it as far as marriage. For me I know that the most important thing for me would be of course that I would be in love with the person before marrying them. I think in an arranged marriage you aren't given that choice. And I don't believe I could live like that knowing that I didn't love the person firstly. I think that would really bother me & I wouldn't be able to survive in a marriage that was arranged.. I also think when you love someone before hand that afterwards many other things like, happiness, respect, & companionship come along with it. In terms of which type of marriage would last longer then the other, I believe for any marriage to work out that both partners need to be able to understand each other, but also trust each other, as well as have good communication within the relationship. But I believe both marriages have their own trials & tribulations. In conclusion.. If I had to choose between both true love or someone my parents had picked out for me.. My preference would have to be love any day. But I do believe both marriages have there advantages as well as disadvantages. I think either way whatever marriage a person decides to choose I think there taking a chance either way. Thanks for allowing me to share! xx
