Love. I think it's better just to have fun finding your own kind of love. An arranged marriage I wouldn't like that. It's not cool for somebody picking who you should be with. Than agian it would take time off for you to not search and search. As long as I got a perfect match for and arranged marriage I would defently go with it.

A combination of both is I think the best. Love marriage problem is that if parents and relative object then lives become difficult. Whereas in case of arranged marriage it's not quite nice after it's not the parents who are going to get married. I think love between the two individuals as well as the agreement between the two parents is perhaps the best formula.

Hi,gs,both have positive and negative points.Love and trust among the is important.
In arranged marriages--Understanding between couple may lack,and leads to misunderstanding.But when they get disputes,elders will enter and make them unite,and when ever they got problems[financial and non financial]the elders will support them till they become normal.
In case of love marriages--Lack of elders support to couple and in future to children also which is must in the society.The advantage they tell is that they have understanding on all habits,nature of thinking...
All the best.

Love defenitaly! Why would anyone in their right mind choose an arranged marriage over a marriage to someone they actually love!??!
I would never agree to an arranged marriage...it wouldn't be real for me...and I would always wonder.

A marriage based on love is the best marriage. Marriage is meant to be a once in a lifetime and last the rest of your life, why would you want to be with someone that someone else set you up with?
I know that there are cultures that still believe in doing this but i believe it is wrong for any culture. You have to at least have feelings for and have something in common with the person you may spend the rest of your life with.

Of course, I would go for a marriage because of Love. I don't really believe in what is so called Arranged Marriage though I have seen friends married to that kind. Love should be the reason for any marriage, that's what I think is best. But I think Arranged Marriage is acceptable considering that parents are just thinking for the welfare and future of their children.

Love marriage of course. I can't imagine having someone I haven't known to be my husband. What if we hate each others hobbies, or the worst part, what if I want a baby and he doesn't? That is hell and c'mon it's 2009, not middle ages lol. You should love each other to get married.

Obviously love marriage is better than arranged marriage as you know ur partner fully before marriage and hence you reduce a lot problems in future.. The only thing is that you should not go in search of love.. Love should search you and should attack you.. That love will be true and will live for many long years happily..

Are we back to the medieval era? Of course love is better than arranged marriage, since if you find a person you really love, the odds that your marriage will last longer are higher then for a arranged one. What is your opinion about it?
