Getting married without love, do you think it will last?? How about arranged marriages, some of them married without even knowing that person.

Arranged marriages are nothing for me and i do not understand why they even stillexcist in 2006 But I do have to say that arraged marriages statisticly almost never ends up in a divorce - but on the other hand - are they truly happy - noI do not think so. I would never marry for anything less than true love!

But then again come to think of it. If the couple is not happy with arranged marriages why do they stick together??? When we marry for love, most of the time it ends in divorce. The irony of this situation truly amazes me.

I totally disagree with you. Its the Traditions and Customs of their ancestors that has been handed from generations to generations. I think we should respect that too. It's seems far off for people like us because we don't have that kind of tradition. i started this topic because I wanna know what other people think about this.

its about trust...I have seen arranged marriages last for life...and love marriages last for few yrs....so love is a mutual feelings which can be developed after marriage itself...

That's why both the couple have to really work out their differences and adjust to each other. When there is love it makes the relationship easier because you treat each other with respect and love. This is my opinion, that's all.

a marraige is nothing but a contract between to people what does love have to do with it no to sound like a song from the 80's sorry about that

Yup, for other people its just a piece of paper like a contract. But for others its a Binding contract that you have to live for the rest of your life. Totally like hell, if the couple does'nt agree with each other. So I believe if I should spend the rest of my life with that person, it's better if I love him not like a business transaction or whatever. Know what I mean???

I could never get married without love. I would find it hard to share a bed and a life with someone I didn't love. I can't say anything about arranged marriages because I don't know enough about them to say anything.
