Nobody said lower standard did they??

**Love in arranged marriages is often talked about being a different type of love by elders, isn’t it.. I mean you’re often not expected to see each other as ‘soulmates’ - or as close to that as possible - being as emotionally close or even closer to them than your parents (something which is sometimes looked down on in arranged marriages).. **

This is not about showing your romantic side or Bollywood type behaviour.. I’m talking about the feelings of love between two married people which aren’t about companionship or being together for practical reasons..

Relax, shaanti, zen.

My comment was not referred to you.

I meant in general. Just like there are misconceptions about love marriages, the same there are misconceptions about arranged marriages.

The bold part par example is a misconception. Yes there will be elders who have such a mind, but I have not met them yet personally.

Your last line, I did not get it.
