Is an arranged marriage better with love coming afterwards better?

Answer 1

* It depends on the cultural beliefs of the race involved. Example: In India or China there can often be arranged marriages and the perspective groom and bride are chosen at an early age. If one believes in this custom then it has been known to work and although the couple may not love each other the wisdom of the parents decision for the two to marry is often right and the couple grows to love one another. The problem is that if this race and their cultural belief system comes to the U.S. or Canada (Western countries) then there may be a problem, because the children are more Westernized and don't always have the same belief system their parents hold true to their hearts. This can cause great problems in certain cultural believes. Westernized people prefer to choose their own partners. No one can say for sure if getting married and then perhaps falling in love later is better than being in love first and then getting married.
