Why arranged marriages get my vote...

Let me jump right into It; after much thought and consideration I have concluded that the practice of arranged marriages was/is a very good practice and parents should consider arranging marriages for their children. Here are two reasons why I am now pro- arranged marriages

Reason numero uno; our parents always seem to be able to tell which of our friends and true and which are trouble before we have even caught on. After just one meeting they can give you a conclusion of our friend’s personality which more often than not eventually turns out to be accurate. My point is sometimes our parents know what is good for us before we do. Sometimes we catch up other times it takes tears and heart break for us to see what they had already seen. So why not save ourselves the trouble and “yes today, no tomorrow” by just allowing them to make the initial decision themselves?

Reason number two is that I personal believe that the decision of who to marry should be more logical than emotion. Allowing someone else who loves you and wants what’s best for you to make the decision on our behalf ensures that the decision is more rational than emotional. Love makes for a lot of nonsense decisions but common sense seldom disappoints. So let’s remove love and emotions from the process and engage logic to the maximum.

Just as a side note; are you in a relationship? Are you reluctant to introduce you girlfriend/ boyfriend to your parents? Are you scared they won’t approve? Arent the reasons you think they won’t approve solid and valid causes for concern?

(Why not just ask them to look for someone for you?)

What about “LOVE” you ask?? What about it, really. Love will grow… and when love grows I suspect it will be stronger and more practical than the love we choose to fall into.

I am sure most of you are rolling our eyes and wondering what I am smoking but take a moment to think about it…..
