Love marriage or arranged marriage

December 25, 2021 6:11am CST
I am still single and could marry at a later stage of my life. I don't like love marriages because one needs to be quite bold . Arranged marriages are common in traditional and conservative households. However, love marriages tend to last longer. I can tell you that when you are acquainted with a person long before marriage, your relationship can be in a sound state. It is not always straightforward to get involved quickly with a person you do not know. In arranged marriages, family is taken onboard; so, later there will less problems from the family side. Marriage imposes a lot of responsibilities on a person's shoulders. Therefore, a person has to be more dutiful and judicious. One needs to raise kids after marriage and that needs a lot of maturity and effort. One cannot be dumb in such scenarios. Lastly, love marriages are getting more and more common these days. Hence, families will have to accept this reality. They cannot be stuck in old times. In an arranged marriage, both the bride and the groom have to interact with each other more often.

It's not always so. My younger son has gone for a love marriage and has fallen in the trap of a filthy woman who has all the vices of the World. He is staying separately in the same city.

Your son should have been more discerning and circumspect.

I don't think I'll ever go for an arranged marriage. I like to be friends with who I'm marrying first. As for kids, I don't want any, and that's making it hard for me to find anyone.

Pity that you don't mention the country where you live on your site. Arranged marriages are an alien concept in Western societies.

Both the form of marriages can succeed. the key to success is truthfulness on the part of husband and wife. 2nd is sharing of work. both of them should share the work in such a manner that work does not become cumbersome but a thing of enjoyment

I go for love marriage, it's just better to find someone you love whom you can spend the rest of your life with or stay single.

I would not marry someone for any other reason than love. I just feel like it's a struggle to build a relationship without it.

I have never heard of anyone I know personally that has been in an arranged marriage and personally I would never go along with one. Especially if my parents had picked my spouse for me. My parents never really understood me very well so I think if they had picked a husband for me, then it would definitely not have worked out. I am currently married for the 2nd time. The first marriage didn't work out. I guess I didn't even pick the right person for myself. Fortunately, this second marriage has lasted almost 14 years and I am very happy. So I am all for marriages for love.
