do you believe in love marraige???????

I would rather get married for love not a arranged marraige. Although I hope if I ever get married again that I wait long enough to make sure it is right.

a couple has issues with their communication in marriage, they should find effective ways to improve communication in marriage. Yes, a uniquely shared language is developed between couples if they learn how to communicate. Communication quality and quantity enhance the relaitonship in many peoples' lives. Let us see those effective and fruitful ways here.

There are pros and cons to both sides of the issue. If you marry for love, is it really love or infatuation, did you rush or take the time to be sure? If it is infatuation it can die out. If you however are someone who lets others decide whom you should marry, then how are you in control over your own life? I do agree we should have some consideration for our families. But they are not the one who is going to spend the rest of their lives with this person. Marriage is a very personal issue, so to me it is to be determined by the two people who are to marry each other. Yes talk to your parents, include them in your family but live your life for yourself, your partner, and any possible children, not for friends, not for parents, or siblings, or others. Also with an arranged marriage it is possible that the greatest blessings of marriage could be lost to the couple, if they are not compatible, but are marrying because it is arranged, or because others picked the person, the real possiblity of marrying someone whom you have little in common with, someone whom you do not form a strong connection, bond, is a very real possiblity. By the same token, I know of a man who loves his wife deeply, and she loves him deeply, this couple is from India, and while she didn't want to migrate to American and be so far from her family she did, their arranged marriage worked out well, since they are friends, as well as a couple deeply in love. If they didn't become so close, she could very well have been very lonely and isolated after leaving her country. So it depends on the people involved. But over all in general I do think that people should decide the direction of their own lives.

I think number of love marriages are increasing in India also. Times are always changing. Yesterdays children are today's parents. So the old in India are also more flexible in these natters now a days. The important barricades in popularising love marriages are the caste system and the dowry system. These are deep rooted in the Indian society. Without resisting the influence of these unhealthy practices the inflience of family arranged marriages cannot be reduced.

We are responsible for how we lead our lives. In an arranged marriage, that would mean that our lives are "ruled" by the elders and we have no say over our own lives. This, I feel is an excuse not to take responsibility if the marriage fails.

No you don't sound old datted friend, but on the contrary. I don't think there will ever be a successful marriage in this world without love. Therefore I strongly believe love is the rock of marriage. Thanks

No I always believed in love marriage, it's the best.
