quote: has anyone ever heard of the site www.marryourdaughter.com?
That is disturbing. I wrote to one girl's family to tell them that marrying their daughter off to keep her from having "unchristian desires" is not going to work. And then me and my sister got bored and decided to spam their site with the following 39 year old daughter: quote: Our lovely weathered daughter is certainly unique. She left a quiet life in the convent when she discovered The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Since then she has moved back home and created a shrine to the Spaghetti Monster in her room.. an edible shrine! We think a change of pace would be good for her. Her husband must be willing to forgo eating spaghetti, lasagna, and pastas of all kinds (or at least until he can convince her otherwise. We've given up.)

yeah i would have to agree with the majority. i personally believe that if you love the person you want to marry then there's more of a chance of the marriage succeeding. that being said, apparently the divorce rate are the same in both cases. speaking of arranged marriages, has anyone ever heard of the site www.marryourdaughter.com? it is, in my opinion, one of the worst sites there are, in terms of offered services. it is akin to a light in the dark for paedophiliac moths.

I think a love marriage is best...you shouldn't have to have some one pick out some one for you to marry if you don't want them too. It's really a matter of if they're ok with the arranged marriage or not. If they are, go for it and wish them the best. If they're not, let them go out and find some one they love. I heard aa sying one time, no matter how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something there to replace it. I think it was talking about love and friendship. You can't love or even tolerate some one if you don't like them.

Go ahead and have your arranged marriage. I have no problem with this. But the person should always have the option to opt out, if they wish. And to divorce. As for love marriages. It's what I plan to have. To find someone I love, and marry them. I know that it's the worst financial move I could possibly make, and that if it goes south, I'll lose out. I know that it's a human concept. But it's just that. What makes me human. Even if it's a chemical reaction, I don't care. It feels pretty damn good.
Cheated the way from fringe to elite. Clique of stylists, rounded illogic skipping a beat to a dead cert. By lheaving charges and bursting the abscess, with a forked toungue, bloated with courage and spewing self-importance. Drop your sights, aim lower, leave umblemished those with real power.

Even so, these doesn't necesarrily occur only in the American society. What about the Asian society? Arranged marriage still occur in India and South Arabia. |

quote: Marriage should be born of love... Love is like, really, really important in anyone's life... And having to live with someone you didn't chose, that isn't love based... BS
well i agree with wath you said but is that the only important thing? Arranged marriages end up been born with love only that the couple get to find out after a while. |

I think arranged marrages are ridiculous, but it works for some people. "You learn about equality in the classroom but you find out about it in life" - Campus Confidential www.myspace.com/yogore |

well, i personally thinks its is a matter of luck. marriage,be it a result of love or arrangement it needs to have certain ingredients(friendship n compatiblity) to ensure that the couples get along .... This is because after all love, romance and affection what keeps the marriage holding is the friendship that they share.

Perhaps it's just me, but I find it rather obvious that marriage born of love is much better than arranged marriages.
