True, and Life1 is full of examples of bad marriages because the good ones dont compain. LOL.
I guess my point is simply that the amount of tolerance in an arranged marriage is higher…according to my observation. For some reason, our generation has chosen to date but discarded the amount of tolerance that goes into building a marriage. Which is why in my mind dating is rendered useless…its not an effective way of choosing a mate because the people involved are expecting life to be just peachy afterwards (not specifically you). And when things screw up a little bit, they want to bail because its not what they had talked about before marriage.
Getting to know someone is different. Talking to them over the phone and meeting a couple of times is fine. But a full fledged relationship just seems like a lot of effort prematurely. Why not do it all when it counts and means something rather then doing it when it means nothing?
