Best Answer

In many cultures, marriage is considered a merger of two entire families in addition to the joining of two people. The parents have the experience and social knowledge to better decide how the two families will fit together. In such cultures, the couples may or may not marry for love. Their combined ability to share their lives with children, pass down important traditions, and maintain the reputations of their families is considered when their parents make a decision or suggestion concerning their marriage partner. In some cases, the parents spend the children's entire childhoods looking for the best spouse for their children.
