Re: Marrying someone u've never met
No, I would not agree to marrying someone without meeting and getting to know them first. Your parents can put all the pressure they want on you......but in the end, its your final decision......you are the one who says yes or no to the marriage proposal. And if the marriage turns out to be an incompatible disaster......then you can't blame your parents. Because it was YOU who agreed to it.
You can't base marriage decisions on generalizations. The idea that "Your parents choice of a partner will ALWAYS be good for you" is a generalization.......meaning it DOESN'T always end up like that. I've seen people marry their parents choice without complaining.....only to end up in a miserable dysfunctional marriage. And I've also seen people marry their parents' choice and end up very happy. I've seen successful and unsuccessful arranged marriages. And I've seen successful **and **unsuccessful love marriages l.
Don't base your decisions on generalizations because there will ALWAYS be exceptions to the generalizations. What works for one person may not work for the other.
When you go shopping, do you buy things without examining them? Do you buy clothes without trying them on first? No, you don't. You buy what suits **you best. **BUT at least with products....you can return them back to the store if you don't like them and get a full refund.
^ Sorry, you can't do that with a human being. You can't return a person back and get a refund. And this is a matter that involves your LIFE.....so it's wise to get to meet the person to see if he suits you, is compatible to you, before agreeing to say "I DO."
