Does love really bring happiness? Or one should go for an arranged marriage?

People supposedly marry for love and look how many end up divorced and hating each other. The ones who would go into an arranged type marriage probaly are stronger cause they are committed more.Usually there committment is more about family and supporting there family unit. The Love people seem to want to commit til either I dont love him/her anymore or we are not having fun anymore. Im not saying all of course but the divorce rate tells you im right about some of them. I know alot of people dont think there is to many arranged marriages in the USA and there not in one sense but we all know someone who was in love with person a but didnt pursue a life with them because of religious beliefs etc. So in a sense it is arranged cause you are giving up someone you are in love with because they dont fit criteria you need and clearly then love isnt winning out. Now all that being said if you are unhappy with him either sit down and have a talk and get on the same page and be happy or leave. If he isnt forcing his parents beliefs on you in the sense there his too then stop argueing. You dont need his parents approval and more likely than not you may not ever find with anyone. As long as he is loving and supportive of you and you are on the same page then when his parents say something simply say this is our lives not yours and while I love to visit with you I am not gonna you tell me how to live my life. If they get upset so be it and if he does for you speaking your mind then you know its time to go..

If you are not happy with your relationship, why keep with it. Marriage is a lifetime commitment- and should not be taken for granted. If you boyfriend cannot defend you and your feelings- think twice.

I dont think arranged marriages are great at all and they dont really exist in the united states and if they do i have never heard of one before. I think you should fall in love with whom you like and hopefully everything else turns out good as well. I think you should be happy and if you arent you should talk to him about it and have him help you with what needs to bring you happiness in your relationship and you both should work it out together and live your life as a happy couple. If your getting depressed and not happy all you can do is talk to someone about it and usually you should talk to your boyfriend about it so he knows and have him help you out with it.

Love has a two-fold effect: it can make you feel good, it can make you feel bad. But even though there's a feeling-bad aspect to it, I would still be on love's side till the end. :) You see, having an arranged marriage is just emptiness, while what you are experiencing right now, if not good, well, it IS something. It gives you the reason to strive for what you believe in everyday. As for me, you don't have to conform to his parent's beliefs. It's their son you are going to marry after all, not them. As long as what you believe in is okay for your soon-to-be husband, all you have to do is compromise and agree to a certain degree so that things will be alright. You had been happy for four years without the interference of his parents right? Then why not live your lives a little away from them? Sometimes, the customs of the previous generation clashes with the new generation, and I think that's what's happening to you. It's not that their beliefs or your beliefs are wrong, it's just that you have to respect each others opinion. When all of your troubles had been settled and you're already happily living your life with your new baby, believe me, love really brings happiness. :)

What is arranged? Someone else is looking for a partner for you or you use your common sense and your list of likes and dislikes (exactly the way parents would do it)? You only need to read all the discussions over here, open your eyes, observe people, watch tv to realize that love doesn't make happy. Love does not survive everything. If love is over people leave each other.
