Lasting of longer married life do not depend whether it is love marriage or arranged marriage.It depends upon the love,closeness,faith,believe between the couple after marriage.

Thanks for the reply Orissan, If this is the case, then there's such a thing as developed love after marriage? (for the arranged marriages).

Im to young to be married... but i will say,nobody can guarantee that... Many love marriages(and of course arranged marriages too) end up in divorces... Likewise,many arranged marriages(and of course love marriages too) are still going good... but remember one thing, [b] "everything in this world has got both its good and bad sides"[/b].. Thanks, Sri

I would go for love marriages--they last a lifetime. This is because of the strongest foundation that the relationship is anchored upon- love. Because if you really love a person in spite of his/her weaknesses and shortcomings, you would really stick with him or her. Much more that you have enough time of staying together, knowing each other more deeply or even reconciling issues. Unlike with arranged marriages when you just have a little time to meet and know the person real well, these are just marriages difficult to last. I have known few friends who were married through this method and sad to know, most of them are divorced already as of this time. Anyway, in whatever form or method of marriage a man and a woman may employ, what is important to me is how deeply they love each other--and this what makes a marriage last a lifetime. Happy posting!

I think love marriiage is more successful because in that case we know that how our spouse is? and can we adjust with him or not?so i would like to go with love with arrange marriage so that i'll get the blessings of my parents also.and i will try every possible thing to convense my parents.

Theres just no gurantee but i dont know why i think this but Arranged marriages last forever. I mean if you have compromised to be in an arrange marriage then you can compromise on anything in your future married life. and that makes it go last long haha.
