Your opinions on both marriages, which oe of both do you prefer. Do you really feel bad about the arranged marriage which take place in some countries. Because I have seen the relationship strong and lasts for ever in most all the arranged marriages. What do u say?

I think if it is a combination of both than it is a strong relationship. and I strongly agree that it should be love plus arranged. well I hate stricktly arrange marriages because what if they don't like each other. every one has a right to live their own way. well atleast to live with a person they want.

Ya I truely agree to your point. Every one has the right to live their own way with a person they want. But why do most of the love marriages fail compared to the arranged marriage.

I wouldn't say most love marriages fail, but the ones that do fail happen b/c people rush into it when they think they are in love. Either that or they are really in love but don't discuss plans for life and are disappointed when they actually get married and learn the other wants something different.

I don't think there's anything wrong with arranged marriage as long as the partners have a chance to meet and decide beforehand. I don't agree with people being forced. If the partners meet, go out a few times, and decide to go through with it, that's great! But if one or the other absolutely does not want to, their families shouldn't be pushing them together. I prefer to find my own guy (as I already did) but don't think there is anything wrong with set ups.

The arranged marriages offend the institution of "marriage"! This institution is supposed to unite persons who LOVE eachother and not love what the other can offer ! If i could do that, i would ban and send into prison everyone getting married for any other reason than love.

I believe marrages are made in heaven, so its not love or arrange, what matters is the the quality of life you living, Ask this question do you have the bonding, the trust, the believe in you and in your partner. I have seen arrange marrages where their you have bitter end, so is it really because of the arrange marrange....certainly not, you just have to have the basic. If your basic is clear then it really doesn't matter if its a arrange or love marrage.

I prefer love marriage. I believed that making you marry someone you dont love is a big no no. How can you stay with someone for the rest of your life when you dont love him? I know some arrange marriage works but how will you go about it if yours dont work?

I agree with the above poster. I don't think that arranged marriages are bad, but I do agree that the couple should get to meet before getting married to make sure that they really are ok with marrying each other. If they are having doubts or are really against marrying the person, then the wedding should definitely be called off. I prefer to marry for love, and I'm engaged to a man who I'm deeply in love with and can't wait to get married! I'm glad that I was able to choose my own husband, because I feel like it was a life experience and also a good learning experience. I also feel like it makes me appreciate him more since I actually had to find him on my own. I also like that we got to know each other and become really close and test out our chemistry with each other and become really comfortable together before getting engaged. I think both marriages can work though, but I do prefer a love marriage for myself.
