I believe that every relationship starts with trust and grows naturally..Whether be it love or arranged the relationship can only nurture if both the people understand each other well and go together.. Even love also starts when you start caring about the other person.. Problems would have come up even if you would have chosen to do a love marriage but its good that u came up well against them and learnt to adjust.. Oh about me.. I m still single ..i m just 24 yaar.. And neither i nor my family would go against love marriage if i do.. but i have to find a love b4 to think of that..LOL..So i don't mind what so ever it be because each of the two has its own pros and cons...
If its an arranged marriage, it would have been with the consent of your family, so they will be always willing to solve any family matters, but ya if its a love marriage, you had ur own choice of choosing ur won life partner, so you cannot blame anyone for anything going wrong after ur marriage.
But i still belive, it all lies in the hands of the couple, how they manage the relationship!!

long, long ago here in my country also have that arranged marriage. I've studied that in our history class during my highschool years. Parents are the one who choose for their children whom are they going to be with. Children that time don't have the right to say no to their parents even though they don't have the idea who's the guy or the girl, in addition they don't have the power to choose the person they truly love. Arranged marriage is based more on the level of the family's wealth or sometimes they're family friends, well that is my idea about arranged marriage. That was before, now in our times in our country there is already freedom but because of traditions some are also doing that. For me, I'd rather choose a love marriage, I'll be more happier if I'll tied up with the guy that I love and I want to live for many years until I die. Love is the most important in life, without love you will never feel hapiness despite of the wealth or the benifits that you coud get from arranged marriage. I'm not saying that you will not be happy in an arranged mariage, it is still depends on both parties or couples.

I think each culture has different views about which is best between arranged and love marriages. And I believe that the society and/or culture, as well as the beliefs, that we grow in affect our opinions and such. For instance, growing up in Canada affect who I am. And I am certainly different than had I grown up in India, for example.
So, I don't think it's really my place to judge which is best. Because we all have different beliefs, life styles, cultures, etc., which affect this type of decision.

u r right in India people love arranged marriage..... but me tell u one secret a successful marriage life can be found only when tha marrriage is both love and arranged.....one should knw the other before marriage and should collect more info abt the other. The most important info to be collect is whether the other will find the answer to my parents.....but i think old custom in India is changing. now parents r asking there sons or daughters whether they love anyone when being to find partner..he he...

hi friends
i think the arrange marriage is more then love marriage in the region like Asia.
and specially in India and Pakistan there is high percentage of arrange marriage.
and if we see with open eyes the arrange marriage is much more successful then the love marriage.
because there have the experience of the parents and as well as prays from them. on which there is much believe in our region. and the love marriage is being consider not good over here.
While if we think about the Europe and the USA region there is love marriage is more then arrange marriage and i think that is why the average maximum time of the love marriage is less then the average time of Asian arrange marriage.
