Arranged or love marriage????... I wonder what kind of marriage I will have in the future. Readings that we have done privately and in class during discussion with Dr Jaya, points out that arranged and love marriages are equal in some ways. For instance, love marriage is good because the couples would have known each others’ habits and character before marriage which makes them prepared to give and take and be flexible whereas in arranged marriage, couples will have minimal expectations out of each other and that helps to make the marriage go smoothly.
In my opinion, a male and female should know their duties to each other as husband or wife and live up to it accordingly. The responsibilities that a married couple is going to face and carry must be given thorough thought before getting married. Marriage is not all about two individuals getting married but it is about a bunch of people (family members) with lots of expectations and working together with them. I just hope I will have a fairly good marriage no matter whether it’s arranged or love marriage.

Renuga,
ReplyDeleteWell said. I agree with. It can be any kind of marriage as long as both parties know their duties well than that marriage can be saved. As we see now many marriages are done in a big scale but ends up as a nightmare. So, marriage is not all about loving each other but being responsible about each others duties and living a life fully sharing with each other.
Arrange marriage and love marriage has its plus and minus point. As for me, I have been holding on to a strong belief that love marriage is the best between the two. Marriage is being built with love as the foundation. Thus, how can one accepts arrange marriage where there is no love in this relationship as the couple hardly know each other. However, after the discussion we had in class few weeks ago, I then realized that I have misunderstood the meaning of arranged marriage. Now, I find that arranged marriage is not too bad after all. Of course it is undeniable that love marriage would be most preferable among us in the modern generation.
