Well if I already fancy the person then yes but otherwise capital NO.
Fine, it worked in those days but hey we are in a new age!
The common causes of depression nowadays is because we suppress what we real want and try to please others instead.
You only live once so please LIVE your LIFE and even if it doesn't work out you will still be satisfied that you followed your heart/head.

just because the divorce rates are low with arranged marriages doesn't mean the marriage work .. It just means they stay together while they are unhappy and probably have extra marital affairs, sleep in separate rooms and have children outside wedlock.
They probably stay together so as not to offend the same parents that put them in the arranged marriage in the first place.. That doesn't mean the arranged marriage works

claremont:
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.

chronique: NO & NEVER. When problem of incompactibility arises later on in future,you'll hate them for doing that,and hate yourself for allowing it. My dad once tried it & I bluntly refused. Despite all pressures,I stood my ground. I'm an adult & want to be totally responsible for my actions.

the only thing i need from them is their advice,encouragement and support.But for them to dictatorially choose a wife for me without my consent and heart,I will say CAPITAL LETTER NO NO NO NO NO NO.it is my life and future.they can never force me to love and marry someone i do not like or my heart do not goes with.All i need is there ADVICE,ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUPPORT.REMEMBER MARRIAGE IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.FOR BETTER FOR WORST TILL DEATH DO US APART.ONCE YOU MAKE THE DECISION,IT IS FOR LIFE.

When something works, it stays together as long as they are still married and living under the same roof - there is hope.
But, a divorce is failure. Why u think, divorcee's have a hard time getting re-married... cos there failure's !!!
Re: Would You Allow Your Parents To Chose For You A Husband/wife. by obi2012: 7:08am On Jan 12, 2013
that is not true.. i know lots of people that are married and have been together for thirty years and the last twenty five, they sleep in separate rooms.. just because someone lives unders the same roof doesnt mean it is working or there is hope..
