i read that statistically, arranged marriages "succeed" 90% of the time and love marriages "succeed" 50% of the time.
i'm sure this isn't the whole story though.
there is a lot to be said for making sure your families are compatible.
but there is also a lot to be said for actually being physically attracted and have respect for your partner!
being madly in love is a fun experience and i wouldn't want you to miss out on it.

Marriage is a very big decision and to start off a marriage that has been arranged is hard. Marrying someone of your choosing out of love is a much better foundation for a marriage. It is like a house it has four corner stones and then you continue to build. But if one of those corner stones is broken then when you build the house it becomes lopsided. You would not want to start a marriage with one of your corner stones missing. Choose love it is the only way to go. Best of luck to you.

I agree with Nev, love marriages are doomed to never living up to the expectation. People change and they can grow together or apart. Love makes us ignore basic inompatibilities and when the idealism fades, we are left with the issues that we have not worked through.
If a marriage is arranged by people who love the peoply involved and with respect of everyones wishes, then I dont see how it is a bad thing.

Love marriage is better. When you love someone the feelings are all different. Everything you do and feel is because of that special person in your life. Arranged marriages are when two people are forced to marry people they may not even like. Marriage is for those who are in love, not for people who do it only for their parents sake.

Life is life. It happens. Each could have their good and/or bad points. Each can be good in their own way. Love can fade in the love marriage and love (respect) can grow in an arranged marriage.

It all depends on what you are looking for in a marriage and the type of society you were brought up in.
A lot of Eastern marriages are arranged and they are very successful because that's how society is based.
In the Western world we marry for a lot of reasons, one of which is love. There are a lot of failed marriage based on love.
It all depends on what you as a person is looking for- love, security, comfort, children, etc.

If your parents are wiser than you are and you trust them to make a good choice, then arranged marriage can be a good thing. Lots of people who marry for "love" really mean sex and it doesn't last.
I have a love marriage that is brilliant most of the time, but I wouldn't dismiss arranged marriages.

LOVE all the way, a loveless marriage is a recipie for disaster.
Start with the right partner and your love and marriage will blossom into maturity.
