Arrange marriages what does the future hold?

Families should play a major role in helping the person grow in judgment over which mate to pick and what qualities to look for. I think if my dad didn't like someone I was seriously dating, I might look a little deeper into why. He doesn't define who I date, but he pretty much likes anybody, and will give anyone a chance. If he didn't approve, I would have to look at why that was. There would have to be a reason that I just didn't see. Here in America, and most other English speaking countries, we don't do arrange marriages, although I know some Mormom groups still do. I think the reason why arranged marriages sometimes last longer than 'love match' marraiges, is because the culture surrounding an arranged marriage discourages divorce greatly. If something doesn't work, they try to fix it even if it is to the detriment of one of the people in the marriage. Divorce would bring shame, especially in the Middle East. That could be one of the reasons arranged marriages last longer.
