I think it's good, U know if U wanna date Ur girl or boy Ud better understand she/he clearly, so, first become friends maybe the best way to be the marriage. Hmm, but my GF is not my friend, we became lovers just when we meet each other the third time.

Hi, yes it is indeed a very loving relationship if the husband and wife are good friends first. This helps to set a strong foundation as individuals to understand each other well, and slowly transform into a strong and close bonding between the partners.

My husband and I were friends before we ever stated dating. I actually set him up on a date with a girl I knew. At that time, we never expected to end up together, lol! But I have to say that being friends first makes the marriage GREAT!

Yes, I think it is good and also better to marry a friend rather than someone you don't know at all. At least we know about them, their bad and good habits, how to calm them down when they are angry, how to cheer them up when they are sad, etc. You have to be friends first becoming lovers. Therefore, it's better to know and understand the person you are going to marry because both of you are going to be together for the rest of your lives. No turning back. At least marrying a friend is safe. And if friends choose to marry, then good for them. As the popular slogan/tagline/saying goes, Friends forever!

Hi Vinay, I think it there is a bit of difference in arranged and love marriages but there is no clear cut answer as to which one works out better. Remember we are all a function of our environment and there is a lot depends upon the culture that you are exposed to. For example here in India (that's where I belong)a lot of people do agree with the idea of arranged marriage because they feel that the wisdom of their parents and elders comes into play when choosing a bride or groom. It does work out to be much better at times. Love marriage on the other hand work out to be great if mature people are involved. I really despise those teenage love stories. Marrying a long time friend.......even better. But remember its a question of whole life, so one needs a good head on his shoulders to make a tough call like that. The argument is still open ended because a lot of factors are involved. But I hope this would give a glimpse of my thought processes. Cheers
