The key word is commitment to each other.
Since it is an arrange marriage, couples are matched as regards to whatever is important to them, it works only when the information supplied to each other is truthful.
For the same reason couple have blessings of the relative and friends, and in bad time get lots of support from them.
All this sums up to a long lasting arrangement.

In arrange marriages it is more a marriage between two families rather then two individuals. Both partners of marriage unknown to each other & they have to creat foundation of there life on LOVE , Dedication & Devotion. Also this is strongly supported by relatives & society.
So Indian arrange marriages are long lasting

My guess would be that since arranged marriage is not just a love pact between a girl and a boy but a commitment between two families as well. So they have a rock solid foundation than a shaky one ( for some ) called love.
For when love vanishes love marriages crumble with it. In the other case commitment survives all ups and downs , also in most cases, over a period of time love too returns back which is more intense and mature and lasting.

Well most of the Indian arrange marriages last because...firstly people tend to adjust to each other....and once they have kids....they can't even think of divorce or living separately as it affects the children most....and u tend to have very high opposition from both families. Secondly....there is lot of pressure from society itself.....People who have had a divorce (unless they are from top of the society) are considered to have done something unreligious and a taboo. The reason why most of the arranged marriages last a life time is that....once a person has a family and if he decides to get a divorce in his mid life...like in the 40's....chances are that he is not going to get another partner.... because u don't have many single women who would want to live with someone who is in his 40's and divorced...!

because they have no other choice. if they divorced the girl can never remarried and is banned from family and society. Already when a woman is a widow she has no much possibility to get another husband, so you can imagine with a divorce!
Because many Indian women have no remunerated job, they are completely dependant on their husbands and so they cannot afford asking divorce because they can't get money for their living.

In India people are more concerned about society and what other people think of them. so even if they are not happy they continue with the relationship. and it's natural if you stay with someone for long you get habitual to that person and start loving him/her
