I don't believe that an arranged marriage can have a good outcome. When it does, it's probably only luck.\n  People need to get to know each other before ending up married. Of course you can get divorced if things go really bad but you probably don't even have that chance if you end up in an arranged marriage. So you are just put in the same house with someone you don't know, and are supposed to live together until one of you dies. I think it's mentally unhealthy.\n  In an arranged marriage, parents or other relatives choose someone for you. Now marriage is something important and one should have his/her own choice about it. Other people may choose this man/woman for you because he/she is wealthy, pretty, has a good job or reputation or whatever, and even though this person may have a good nature, your personalities just may not fit together. What if you share nothing? Have no common interests? In a love marriage, you can consider these first. \n   I think that an arranged marriage is a huge gambling and one should not gamble with such an important part of human life. It is an unfortunate thing that so many people in these times are still forced into such arrangements.

I've heard so many of these arranged marriages - I'm not talking like serious compulsion, but family arranged - work out ok in the end, and the couples are relatively happy - no less than "love" marriages.  And with divorce rates so high, there's something to be said for the traditional culture for arranged marriage societies.

I suspect that in something as serious as an arranged marriage, you want to make the girl feel comfortable. You don't want to overload her thoughts because she is already under the burden of marriage, family, tradition, etc. Show her that you respect her situation by being sincere, and try to take the burden off her a little by showing her that you are the protector. I suspect in an arranged marriage, passion and love comes later. So the thing you can ask are what she expects from you in the marriage (general things)? This should lead to more specific things that you can ask about what she expects from you? But don't ask it in the way that you seem wimpy. Remember you need to come across as the protector.

I've been married and single both...and while there are advantages to both, I'd choose married. (but next time to someone I know better!)\n\nIf you're not afraid of really hard work, marriage would be better. It takes work every single day, though.

Hi.. Josie .. how are you?\nHope you remember me.\n\nDowry marriage is still existing in many parts of India. But the percentage is really decreased. The people are not demanding nowadays. But ther are happily accepting whatever the bride's father offers.\n\nI hope this trend will go soon.\n\nHowever this is not applicable for love marriages.

the one that adores u. I agree with the young lady's answer money isn't everything and eventually having everything u want won't satisfy your need for companionship. So, it pays to have someone who loves u and cares deeply but with limited means than a loveless marriage that will only make u do two things, cheat, or leave.

i would say love marriage. because you get to know the person before you actually fall in love and then married them. \nArranged marriage you are stuck getting married to someone that you dont even know.

Not many people know anything about arranged marriages anymore, since they are rare in the western world.  But the first part of "Fiddler on the Roof" raised the question, and since then, I have always wondered if we wouldn't be better off trusting the judgment of our parents, and professional matchmakers if they use them, rather than our own erratic choices.  I've been married and divorced 4 times, so maybe I'm not exactly objective about this . . .

Love just happens, but you have to remember that people can grow to love each other.  I know of countries that still have arranged marriages.  I think that in these instances the two involved are less fortunate than Americans who get the opportunity to find love on their own.  But, this has been going on for many many years.  I don't believe that Americans should set up two people with the intent for them to be happy.  As an American we know that happiness comes from the heart and has to be aceived on our own.

Loving someone is more rational, you are more aware of their good and bad points and love them anyway.  Falling in love isn't rational, you only see the good, you don't see them in all their humaness.

I married for love 23+ years ago.  I'd dated both rich and poor man....my experience?  As I told my parents, I'd rather marry a poor man who loves me than a rich man who beats me up or cheats on me.

A few years ago I would have said love...Americans have preconceived notions of what arranged marriages constitute. I read about them and after I did, I wanted to have one and wished it was a common practice here! The families of young women carefully screen men in all areas (family, financial, compatibility) and present the couple to each other. Women aren't "forced" to marry the men in the majority of cases. Their families love them just like families here love their daughters and want them to be happy. So I think arranged marriages are better.

well it depends on the ethnicity of the both parties and how strong ang great the love mutually is. it shouldn't be that the love is mutually unbalanced, where one stands @ 75% and the other stands @ 25%. it should always be balanced.
