I believe it can work as long as there is some level respect and compatibility.
Re: Arranged Marriages by Nobody: 10:33pm On Mar 16, 2009
Luckily I am in the position to say NO WAY. I just feel for those who are in such situations and have no choice.
Re: Arranged Marriages by Lamidiobi1: 10:35pm On Mar 16, 2009
Arranged marriages work better than the ones you walk around to seek for a wife. It is also advantageous because you wont know those men that foked your wife before.

Re: Arranged Marriages by Gabry(f): 6:05am On Mar 17, 2009
the reasons why arrange marriage are always workable (cause the number of divorce cases and seperation is very very low) compared to those free will love where the rate of break ups is very high these days it because its the choice of the parents/ elders its because of the following. Whenever the elders wanted to choose a partner for their son/daughter, they would usually choose a person from the following criteria:-

1) Near location : so that both parents can watch over their son/daughter
2) Both sides of the elders have to be in good terms (usually they would choose someone they are befriends with for a very long time0
3) Financially stable

Yeap. Can be either of those criteria. . . . So both man and woman whether they love each other or not, they have to behave well. . . sad

My grandmother had gone through an arrange marriage and thats what happen.

I doubt an arranged marriage would work for me but it does work well for some others. It all depends on personality.
Any one can do at this stage, just find a man and marry. Whether na arranged or hook up or fairy tale wedding, just find yourself a damn man that can give you occasional orgasm so we can rest up in here.

Re: Arranged Marriages by biina: 2:18pm On Mar 23, 2009
I think arranged marriages are often more successful b'cos both parties come in with low expectations, and thus put in substantial efforts to make the best of a would be bad situation.

On the hand, in 'self chosen' marriages, focus is on the selection (pre-marriage) process, and less effort is input into the marriage itself, likely because they feel they have found the right partner and everything else should work itself out from here onwards. At the first sign of trouble, they usually question their selection, instead of seeing it as an inevitable bump that should be overcome.

Irrespective of the way you meet your spouse, a marriage, like all things in life, is subject to a fall, and requires effort to be successful.

Marriage whether arranged or the other requires effort of both parties to make it work. But i will advise you marry the person you are familiar with

i don't think i would last in an arranged marriage, i'm not just the type
Re: Arranged Marriages by Nobody: 7:22am On Mar 24, 2009
Arranged marriage's aren't my thing, so the answer's NO.
Re: Arranged Marriages by JustGood(m): 2:18pm On Mar 24, 2009
Although I didn't end up in one, I dont really see anything wrong in it as long as both parties dont mind.

I dont like people who castigate what others do in the belief that whatever is practiced in the west has to be God's will for mankind. How wrong!

I have seen lots of Asian arranged marriages that are like heaven-made marriages.

Each to his/her own
