Marriage: which one is better love or arranged????

Arrange marr is better since we dont have much expectation right in the begining itself so its ok even we dont get to see a very brighter picture, we will be flesble for a compromise also, infact the arrange marr itself is compromise.

Oh! this is one topic on which every one , men - women, married or unmarried , always have something to say about. well, my opinion is a bit DIFFERENT from the rest of the lot. i feel, once you are married it doed not make any difference , what-so-ever , wether u were in love before or ur parents just happened to bring u 2 together. the only rule that decides if a marriage is successful or not is COMPATIBILITY. it does not mean that if u knew the person before hand and loved him, u will continue to feel the same after marriage. i have seen a lot of love marriages where after marriage each partner shows his / her real face.

i will say Luv marriages as i had also did the same and i personally feel that we are very happy. but also i can't deny the arrange marriages as i had already seen so many successful arrange marriages. My mom dad did arrange marriage and now after the 30 yrs of thier marriage, i see them like the greatest couple i had ever seen.

Its all a matter of choice and preference I guess.Marriages work only if you want it to and do compromises and adjustments..be it love or arranged.Both can fail if you don't work at it.Sometimes as you said..love marriages fail miserably because they will know only each others good qualitites before marriage and real colour comes out only after marriage..LOL.But one thing I believe is that..only after you stay with some person you really understand and know his or her true nature.

For me it is love marriage. I think that it would be hard to live with someone if I didn't love them. And to me an arranged marriage just seems weird, but that is also because of the country and way I was raised.

I go for the love.Love is like nothing else. The energy you feel between you, the passion, the feeling of security,peace,joy,belonging,understanding. I say both are hard work. Ether way, if you don't work at making and keeping your marriage happy, it will fail.

I would say love for sure. I dont think i could live with someone I didnt love.

Where i come from it is all about love marriage. I personally wouldnt like to have my partner chosen for me. I am curious to know where what cultures still do arranged marriages. How long do they last, and are they usually happy? Let me know. Support your side.
