Majority of marriages in our country are fixed by Elders.Both boy and girl meet once before marriage that too in front of all the family members.AT THE MAXIMUM THEY MAY EXCHANGE FEW WORDS.Still they are spending as 'Happy Families"...Then what is the influence of Love before marriage?

Yup in India and especially the Asian countries have been following the rituals of fixing the marriage and as you say the love comes in between of all marriages as a question mark to that,which is a person's much awaited moment in life,marriages must be made in heaven as they say,or should we believe its made in heaven. The love would pop up,with the engagements,I believe,the 2 people would understand each other well and the love will keep on getting higher and higher.The trust is the important of all.Love before marriage is so high that it usually has been seen getting down to earth to ground when the knot of marriage is been tighten.

For me, it's important to make sure that there is love between us before getting into marriage. How can you stand living with someone if you consider him a stranger without love. But one thing is at the same importance is to have commitment after marrieage to make it works. And for me as a woman, it's more important to consider a guy who really loves me (and I at least feel can love him back ), rather than with a guy who don't really love me even though I love him at most. ^_^

Hi,Trust is more important among couples not that whether they were in love before marriage or after marriage.Taking care for each other,loving nature i all situations etc strengthen the relation.

I belieeve that two people should be in love with each other before they marry. Relationships are difficult enough without the added pressures of obligation. if you marry without love, there is an emptiness to the relationship.

NO its not to be fall in love before marriage. And we can see even after marriage many people dont love each other whether it was a love marriage or arranged one. But what is importent and mandatory that we must know how to improve , sustain, and respect any kind of relation. if these three things are there in any relation that is really going to be long lasting.

Hi, Baluyadav! I honestly could never marry someone I didn't love. Sure if you go into a marriage without love you could eventually learn to love each other, but why take that chance? I believe that a couple has to have some feelings towards each other if they decide to marry. Even if a marriage is "fixed" the elders should allow the prospective bride and groom to get to know each other a bit and allow them to decide if they want to be together.

Hi,Italian,you are true,there is some change in our country that as you said,after fixing the marriage by elder,the would be couple exchanging their ideas and interests to some extent.It's a good sign.Have a nice day.
