outrage: Children of nowadays don spoil all claiming to tear eye. How do you think your parents got married?
That explains why they have so many broken homes. Many of them never got to know each other in the first place and it was only after the wedding that they discovered that they were not compatible. It doesn't mean that some of those arranged marriages didn't work but the divorce rate is also very high.

Actually, research has shown that arranged marriages actually have some of the lowest divorce rates.

UncleJJ: People who marry for love get divorced
People who marry for money get divorced

People who marry on recommendation (parents mostly) have more prosperous marriage because marrying for love is like buying a house cos you like the color.

Marrying on parental recommendation in most cases is like buying a house on advice from a professional consultant - who takes into accounts

- goverment policies
- security
- buyer and seller behaviour
- building materials
- e.t.c

Our society was built by men and women who married on reccomendation - it's in such shamble today cos idiots like you and i buy everything the television sets sells us.

You need to remember marraige is long term investment, love grows and dies, loyalty is more important than love - cos loyalty is the sacrificial type of love.
bros u too much. i agree with you 100percent

Depends...
They (my mum especially) can suggest/introduce/recommend someone, and let me take it from there and see if it will work out.
I will also value their view about anyone I decide to marry.
The final decision is still mine to make, but I know many parents can give valuable insight as far as choosing a partner is concerned.

Depending on the scenario,I'll give it a try
Will any true parent want harm to come his child's way?
As long as its not those snobbish political&business marriage alliances but one in which their child's (not their's) interest is paramount.

An indian was once asked" why are there little or no divorce in india even with there high pollution"? His response was "westerners marry who they love but we indian love who we marry"...my interpretation is in western marriages love decline after months or years or marriage but in indian marriages ,the love grows as the marriage grows. God help our generation!

Yes, My mum not my dad. Although She is late (Miss her dearly) but If she was alife I will allow her choose a wife for me. Because

1) She was a very devoted christian who loved and feared God
2)all her predicts about my life i saw them happen. It's like she knew mw better than i knew myself. She pointed out some of my strenghts of which then I didn't notice but i started noticing them some years after she pass on. She told me one of my strenghts is in music, by then I had no inclination about my connection with music but 3 years after she pass on I notice i could write songs and concurrently i write songs for 2 up coming artists

Depends.

Someone who is looking for a partner shouldnt just automatically disqualify a potential one just because s/he was brought by the parents.

There's a difference between recommendation and imposing. Am cool with recommendation, cause it will be in my powers to make the final decision if the guy meets my criteria. Parents want the best for their children, so they'll definitely go for a guy with good reputation, character and background. I'll only turn down the guy if during the process of courting, I find out undesirable hidden traits that I can't live with.
