I'm just wondering why there are people who chose to have an arrange marriage rather than finding their true love on their own.I have read articles that discussed about successful arrange marriage, but still I am wondering how come you'll be marry to someone that you barely know and then you'll be happy with him after years of being together..

The destination is one but travelling method is two. Destination in marriage is getting a good loving partner so people choose two ways love marriage and arrange marriage. I mostly prefer arranged marriage because i dont want to stay away from my parents. Its their duty to decide how should be their daughter in law. So i prefer arranged marriage more than love.

Love marriage all the way for the best happiness. Although I do know that many arranged marriages can devopled into deep love after being married for a while.

If a female is late for marriage or a spinster and feeling lonely or getting into depression the best choice is to go ahead with arrange marriage. There is a thing called chemistry and recipes for good marriage. I have a joke about arrange marriage, it goes like this...The next morning after the wedding the bride went to see her mom and said "Mother he has only one foot" and the mother replied "you are lucky." Ok this joke was before metric system been introduced as arrange marriage was centuries ago

If it is arranged you might be more willing to make it a succes. I think you might work harder. No matter if it's arranged by family or an agency. But an arranged marriage should not mean you have to marry with a person you don't like. You can at least meet him/her before the marriage and talk things over. If it's out of love I think people think it will all be a piece of cake. Never dying love. Reality is different. Love won't make you forget or survive everything. Many people who marry out of love hate eachother later too (some already a few weeks later). I think the best thing is to get married to someone you (might) love, find sympatic, funny, who treats you well and with whom you have some things in common. Love will grow by the years, if you get stronger together. If you know what you get, if you are more realistic, you are more willing to give it a good try and end.

People do agree with arrange marriage because that is their culture and they are used with that tradition. But for me, it is our right as a person to choose whom we want to live for the rest of our lives.
