Re: True Life: arranged marriage
I agree... distance from family and level of being religious could have been negotiated... but we only know as much as was shown on TV... there may have been underlying issues.... but from what was shown.... she looked happy.. who knows?
I don't think degree of religiousness can be negotiated especaially if it is an arrange marriage. If you are brough up with a certain mind set or a certain style or you are very strong on certain beliefs then it is difficult to adjust with a person who is not on the same pace. And it is better to identify before and backing out then realising after and going through a divorce.
And yeah, I too agree with sara that before getting all serious into a relationship know what kind of person you are, what is acceptable, what is not, what you are looking for, etc.
