Treasures of Life

As a youngster who is keen to fall in love and get married, I find myself thinking about what I could possibly do to avoid a divorce. What could be the formula for a great marriage? Are love marriages the key to success? I hear that in certain cultures, people don’t fall in love and get married; their parents or friends arrange a marriage between two people whom they think are suitable for each other. But from different studies that I have done on marriage and divorces, I now know that there is absolutely nothing that can guarantee a successful marriage. Both arranged marriages, as well as love marriages can land up in a divorce.

So which do I prefer? I vote for love marriages, reason being, I think love is the chief ingredient in a successful marriage. I believe that love can help you succeed and carry you through the tough times. Also, I think love marriages have a better shot at working out because both the individuals involved in the marriage already know what they can expect from the other person, there are no surprises. Love marriages, also seem like the better option to me because I can’t think of spending my entire life with someone I don’t know or don’t love. I think marriage vows mean a whole lot more when you are saying it to someone you know and love. So yeah I know my answer to, do you want a love marriage or arranged marriage?
