Arranged marriage

I was sixteen when I first declared to my mom that I'll never ever go for arranged marriage.
Just imagine, you see a photo, talk for couple of days and then decide to spend rest of life together !!!
Thats one definition for Madness, i thought back then..

Now? well, time taught me that noone remains the same.
Love marriage or arranged, people keep changing.

In fact, Love matches can cause more pain coz of the expectations and false images we have of each other.
Love match, you expect the best after marriage and even minor issues appears depressing.
Arranged ones, you have no expectations, in fact most enter with a feeling of dread, that every small pleasure comes as a pleasant surprise and cause lots of happiness...
Plus, in arranged, you don't have to impress in-laws (after all they are the ones who came looking for you !) so half the battle is won.

and while i won't vote for arranged, am not against it either.

Thanks Life for the invaluable lesson
