i dont know the actual stats....but i personally would prefer to be with a partner that i choose...i do know people who are in arranged marriages and they have grown to love one another......so i suppose when it really comes down to the crunch....its about how committed both parties within the marriage are that will depend on its success.....

well it can go either direction.. Look at marriages in the west.. USA alone has a 60% divorce rate.. and im sure they all started with Love...
Look at my country SaudiArabia... very low divorce rate (and yes, divorce is allowed and done) but most marriages are arranged (there are some not arranged) but they are successful and last. and the two partners grow to love each other out of respect eventually and their love is no less or more than any other "love" started marriage.. .. As the poster above put.. its all how you make it.. You can grow in love as you mature.. Most first years is all lust anyways, then the deep family respect love comes much later..

Lets See
Arranged Marriage- u never know anything about the person that u are going to spend the rest of your life with....
Love Marriage - People change drastically after marriage and ,love fades..trust me i know...i have a love marriage and it isn't working out the way i dreamed it would... i say go for arranged marriage it will give you more time to grow with that person...meet on another level coz love isn't everything.... love will eventually fade.
Good luck

Arranged. Marriages out of love have certain emotional expectations that are more likely to let down the other partner, where arranged marriages are not made as an emotional decision.

Dating is a rather recent approach in establishing marriage and family. In fact the divorce rate has never been higher than now.
Of course back then when marriages were arranged, your father will show up one day and tell you that your new to be husband is here to take your hand. Then you would tell your dad, "...but papa...he is missing some teeth." Then your dad will tell you, "Look! He comes from a good family. His father and I were the best of friends. Besides, your new husband comes with some chickens, two donkeys and a goat. Youll be happy!"
Divorces were unheard of back then but of course, women were considered property at that time and couldnt get a decent job and therefore, she has to stay in the marriage or suffer severe dire consequences. Either way its really hard to get it right the first time.

I believe that sucess in a marriage, whether arranged or love is dependent on how compatible the two people are, how much they have in common coupled with genuine caring for each other. Alot of compromise is also required....like they say you cannot have your cake and eat it.... Both parties would have to give up some things for the sake of their spouse,it is a challenge I know.

I think any couple pulled out of society and locked in confinement will eithe rfall in love, or kill each other, but once out of confinement the question is would they stay together? It's sort of like the people who got married because of accidental pregnancy, tehir marriage can become one long fight. It's better for two people to fall in love on their own, some well intended "nudging" by friends or relatives into meetings however, is traditional human behavior, even if not always successful.

love marriage is more successful because it's based on love & is protected by love & it keeps going just because of love. Arranged marriage is old fashioned. They shouldn't be doing that anymore because it's 2007.

well with the 50% divorce rate, i'd say arranged marriage is more successful in the non seperation aspect.
but without love, its not really worth it.
wow that was really cliche.
haha

love marriage is voluntary, arranged is modern slavery. they are told to love each other, which is scientifically impossible. From India, no doubt
