Arranged marriages and unconvential methods of dating

Post by Nessa »

arranged marriages...

traditional methods...
modern methods..bachelor and bachelorette shows...some couples have married
and stayed together


we had a radio station set up two strangers to get married. I think family had imput though etc. couple have now been married for years with kids...

or is the normal method the best?

what would you prefer? many people trust their own decision more but is the divorce rate a sign we dont know who we want for life?

There are still parts of the world where arrange marriages make the most sense and people live happily in arrange marriages too.
It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.

I could only turn and stare in horror at the chief surgeon.
Death by starvation is a terrible thing, Goodsir, continued Stanley.
And with that we went below to the flame-flickering Darkness of the lower deck
and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night
without.

I think it's possible to learn to love someone and fall in love in arranged marriages.. they seem to have better statistics than non arranged marriages

Perhaps there's an added feeling of "duty" in an arranged marriage. The couple will try harder to make the relationship work seeing as they have known about it and planned it since they were infants.
