I prefer love marriage. Coz true love will end till the end of last. We can't ignore arrange marriage too but love marriage is more strong bond then arrange.

i prefer arrange marriage...you know why? simply because the Western society has a misconception of what an arranged marriage is, it is understood to be a practice of many third world countries to oppress their young, and in particular their young girls to forever live an unhappy life.... It is incomprehensible for them to fathom the idea that love doesn’t necessarily have to come before marriage, but it can just as well come after and just as strong....America was based on freedom and individuality; as a result it is not at all shocking to see that Arranged marriages are greatly misunderstood because they feel that it is against everything freedom stands for.... Looking at the path Americans has chosen to live a happy married life is disappointing. Mostly everyone seems to be a victim of so called Cinderella syndrome.... This is represented in movies and television sitcoms such as ‘Friends’, where they have displayed women at the age of 30 still waiting for “Mr. Right” and men divorced more then once, because they later realize what they thought was love was merely physical attraction..... love is just a feeling.. i believe it can be developed if given some time =)

I agree with you (see my above post). Love can develop over time if given a chance.

Hey Charlestchan, nice comment. You present positive attitude towards arrange marriage, but in my community people misuse arrange marriage. So, my self want love marriage.

I would only consider a marriage based on love...BUT...I do think that in either case, there is the same chance of it working out... 50/50. You have to work together to make any kind of marriage work, so if you are arranging one for yourself, or having someone else do it, it still takes the same amount of work. Those in love marriages sometimes fall apart because they fall OUT of love, and some arranged marriages are great because they fall IN love.

I think I would prefer a love marriage but I've had friends who were a part of an arranged marriage and they are quite happy now. When she (my friend) first met her husband-to-be she was very scared and, come to find out, so was he. Neither knew what to expect but as they started talking with each other, they discovered that they have a lot in common. My friend later told me that her family made a good choice for her.

Sounds good, but according to me.. having common in between arrange marriage is only 59 percent out of 100%. Besides we can't say anything further. But love marriage is the best coz we both understand ups and down of each other..

Whatever marriage it is ..if the two does not work it out it can break. I prefer love marriage.I prefer to marry a person after knowing him well.I admit that in love marriages the shine of newness disappears after few years of an affair, but it strengthens the bonding too. On the other hand arranged marriages, the person is so new to you that you spend the first few years of your marriage life in knowing each other.

t really does not matter whether its a love marriage or arranged marriage . Both can work and fail ! Given the choice I would go for love marriage as it gives me the choice to spend my life with someone who i already know loves me . Thus I effectively cut out the risk of marrying a person who does not care for me . plus you already know the person quite well , so there is better understanding !

Sound like you really like love marriage. Right we can't sure about the common between arrange marriage but with love marriage we both can understand both ups and downs so it's good to spend life with love marriage.

I only into love marriage. However in my community, there are still frends and people who still supporting arrange marriage because they believe that their parents know best which type of girl/guy suit them.

Cute marriage proposal - Just a cute pic I have saved on my computer
Love all the way. I would not want an arranged marriage because I loved having the rights to choose who I got to marry.
