Re: Arranged Marriages
I have an arranged marriage and we are really happy happier than I ever imagined I could be. I sometimes find myself wondering if this honeymoon period will ever end, not that I want it to. Quite the opposite! I'm enjoying every minute.
It took me quite a long time to get used to my husband in fact I didn't even like him very much in the beginning.
But he showed me so much love and respect that he won me over. I wouldn't be without him now.The fact that I had an unhappy childhood and didn't get on at all with my own family probably has a lot to do with it.
He was my second cousin and his family were really nice, that helped a lot. They nicknamed me Shehzadi and it stuck. To this day my sis in law doesnt call me bhabi or anything else except Shehzadi. He also calls me that.
You have to work at any marriage whether its love or arranged theres always some adjustments you have to make.
No, love doesn't always develop in arranged marriages but in my case it did and I'm so glad.
