I know that in western society people are told that they should marry for love. When they feel they they no longer love their mate, many of these people disgrace themselves and try to get a divorce from their mate. A divorce only hurts the person who gets the divorce, their mate, and their children. These people who say that they are marring for love do not really know the person that they are marrying anyway, since when two people go out on a date both of them wear their best cloths, have their hair very nice and are on their best behavior. How can they say that they love someone when they really do not know what the other person is really like? You have to live with a person a while to understand them and to know what the other person is like. An arranged marriage may be better for a lot of people because the people getting married do not have false expectations of the other person. Their parents can find them a mate that is much like they are.

Hi!Well for me it is better to have an arranged marriage,at least you will know the kind of person you are marrying.The family background and lineage,you can also be sure that your family will not give you away to a person they don't like.If you will marry for LOVE,it should be tested first.On the first two years everything will be very smooth,but once you get to know the person well(their hobbies,family background,interest,priorities and future plans)there and then you will see that you have taken a big mistake.I'm not against these two,it's just that we should open our eyes and mind when we choose so in the end we will not have any regrets.

in my opinion both marriage carry good and bad situation.so why not we choose own choice.its better to blame anyone we handle this own way.at least satisfaction is more important.its all about luck by chance.but arranged marriage is more successful than love marriage.your parents involve in arranged marriage that why they always with you good or bad situation.

lets see...how successful are so called ' love marriages' these days? How many start off in a pink cloud of romance and expectations that gradually clash with the reality of life.
Arranged marriages on the other hand seem , to those of us with a western cultural background, unnatural incompatible with the notion of love. Maybe that is a harsh and unrealistic judgment. From the little I know about arranged marriages, many fail and many are very successful. Their successes lie in the fact that ' love' for a person can indeed grow, perhaps simply because that spouse who was chosen for you is ' your ' person! Secondly ' love' is more than just a feeling , its also a commitment people make to each other. There is no reason why partnes in an arranged marriage experience less nurturing, support or affection than a non arranged marriage- and from this love can grow.
On balance and with statistics on marriage becoming depressingly negative, neither arrangement has a recipe for guaranteed success. It depends on the people involved, on the effort put in, and on the realization that just as romantic love tends to not hang around for too long, it can also come out of nowhere !
