Love 'vs' Arranged....

.. The age-old argument... What is better.. which is the way to go...

The question still remains ofcourse... But my answer... which was ofcourse unequivocally "LOVE"... now seems to have changed..

No no..before you go start putting two and two together... this doesn't have to do with my own experiences...
My confusion... is a reaction to what I've been seeing around me... friends... family... friends of family and families of friends...
Of course I don't have enough sample-space to make statistical conclusions (believe it or not.. a BIG PART of my friends' circle.. .is still pretty single).. but I see a lot of "love" marriages FAILING.. and FAILING HARD !!

I was dicussing with my friends and trying to figure out what the main reasons are for this kind and this DEGREE of "falling out"...
But we didn't come to any reasonable conclusion .. the reasons were many and completely scattered..
Some had to do rushing into a relationship, without giving/taking the time to understand the 'significant' other... hence leading to compatibility issues later in life..
Some had to do with... a falling out as a result of pressured situations where .. the uncontrollable ups and downs on life were too much for one party to handle..
Some had to do with mother-in-law issues with the guy being too much of a mama's boy for anyone's good...

But the end-result is .. I dunno if I should 'recommend' love marriages to anyone.. I'm wondering if I should recommend marriage at all .. :-/


Confused,
me
