Arranged Marriage,in This Modern Days(hit Or Miss)? by mzellsx(op): 9:52pm On May 02, 2015
Well personally,I think its a win-win or lose-lose situation. In as much as its not so advisable to arrange marriages,it could also work out.just as it happens when you find somebody yourself,it could be a hit or miss.share your views??

Normally, one would think the era of arrangee marriage is far behind us and that we're in the jet age where the man and the woman are expected to make their individual choices on who to be with and marry.

But when one juxtapose the marriages of yore which most of them were arrangee to the ones today they'll realize that the ones in the past were more subsistence and lasted longer than what we have today.

Although I'm for the idea that people should make their own choices but that it's not a guarantee of a successful marriage and happy home. What arrangee couple should do is to spend some time together and take out time to study each other and see if there's some connection and compatibility. It shouldn't be completely ruled out

I'll go with not ruling it out completely,back in the days,they were bizarre reasons for arranged marriages like payment of debt and other weird stuff yh!but we find out that in the long run after the initial getting to know each other stage which takes prolly one year or two,the couple adapt and in SOME situations last longer and more peaceful than the ones with prolonged courtship.

A lot of marriages is a gamble. Most relationship/marriages can be akin to business contract so whichever way couple got to first meet doesn't really matter. Whether they meet via recommendation or otherwise change nada. At the end of the day it may still crash if both or either party interest aren't met. Yes, so arrangee shouldn't be dismissed.

@op, first of all, u look so pretty.

My take on dis remains that arranged marriage in a particular context "you both are ready" honestly has been better than this nonsense we do these days.

If I wanna get married now which am looking forward to, it's either my family tells my a better family to choose from or I just meet the girl.
Dating someone for a decade dnt guarantee perfect marriage and in fact, most failed married starts with this
1. One or both parties are not ready
2. One or both parties lacks understand and dnt wish to learn or have no intention of going into the marriage.

It's kinda a 50-50 stuff but mahn, arranged or just meet kinda marriage which the lady especially will be ready to work for it and wait for time for it to mature.

Nne, fine girl, will u marry me?
