Arranged marriage or love marriage

Arranged marriages almost always end up as broken marriages. Better if he fix his problems with his friend whom he loves instead of marrying somebody that other people set up or arranged for him.

If you've been unlucky in love, you have the option of obtaining an arranged marriage. Keep in mind that while arranged marriages are common in places like the Middle East and in India, you don't have to be from either of these backgrounds to obtain an arranged marriage. Indeed, arranged marriages don't have to have anything to do with parents or other family members. A third party, such as a matchmaker, is usually all that's needed

personally I would never marry unless it was for love and I think your friend is just using it as an excuse to run away from his problems.

Of course, i prefer love marriage. It's so cruel to have a marriage arranged for you. :) how can you be happy with that? We dreamed of having a happy family and marriage, so it should be love and not by force :)

I don't believe in arranged marriages first off. And if your friend thinks that being married that way is going to cut down on the fights he is very wrong. All marriages have fights but it's the love that lies beneath that makes them worth it and helps the couple to move past them. I think he is making a big mistake walking away from 5 years of love and will probably regret it later.

Being in a marraige invovled with love is much better than being with someone you couldn't care about. Love conquers all, and arranged marriages are what their called,arrangements. This marriage will make you more unhappy.

It is good to have an arranged marriage with lots of love put in it.

that's stupid. Sorry, but fights are actually positive. Okay, maybe not all the time. But it's a sign that they should think of if they can live without each other. Leaving his gf for an arranged marriage is so not the answer.

Honestly, I do NOT believe in an arranged marriage. How can you marry someone you dont even know? Dont even love? It just doesnt make sense to me. I would never do something like that. I would much rather be with someone that I know and that I truly love and want to marry rather than have someone that I just met marry me. I dont really think that its good for your friend but if he truly feels that its what is best for him then he should go for it. But like I said, I dont believe in doing that.. I believe in finding true love with someone that you've gotten to know over time not basically being forced to love someone that you dont know.
