so what do u prefer most a love or an arrange marriage?i think that love marriage is better option,because i think in arrange marriage u have only 2 or 3 hours in which u have to recognise other one with whom u should have spent ur whole life,and in love u already know ur partners liking and disliking and u r more comfortable with him or her throughout ur life.so what do u think?

I prefer to marry the person I love, no doubt about it. I know that sometimes when there is an arranged marriage people start following in love with the other but sometimes that doesn't happen. Spending all my life with someone I don't like is not an option for me. I'm the one that will have to live with that person, not my parents. I think arranged marriages are a little out of date. At least I hope they are.

I think think an arrange marriage could become a very pure bond. There is always compromise in marriage it is for the sake of marriage and everything it brings that you do it so to honor marriage for the sake of marriage seems to be a very pure pursuit.

I have one friend who moved to the States from India, and her marriage was arranged. She is quite happy and in love, but truly I believe you should love someone and know you love them before you agree to spend the rest of your lives together. I think she is just one of the lucky ones. The longer a couple is together before they get married, the better, I believe. With some exceptions, of course.

I dont think arranged marriages are still being followed nowadays... I think its still better if you really love the person

Arrange marriage is not a problem with me as long as I love the person I am marrying with. Otherwise, I would not want to. I couldn't imagine myself being with someone in one house, most especially in bed, and then make love, without loving him at all. I find it a total nonsense! If that happens, I think I would never become a better wife. I would always prefer to marry someone that I love for my entire life.
