Arranged marriages lead to successful marriages

Getting hitched is basically a scratch of a family. In that case, arranged marriage is one of the
routes to get married. Furthermore, statistics also show that the global divorce rate of arranged
marriages is quite low. However, it doesn't mean that love marriages don’t last long. In my opinion,
the statement 'arranged marriages lead to successful marriages' is debatable as the judgment leaves
a large grey area.

Firstly, the entire responsibility of arranged marriage is undertaken by both the parents. As
we all know, parenthood is the most responsible venture, and there’s no debate on that topic.
Whenever we find ourselves ensnared in life's predicaments, parents are the only ones who
shoulder our burdens. For an example, an arranged marriage ensures family support in all
circumstances when there are any problems between the couples. Moreover, it is also easier to get
financial assistance from parents at the time of need. Nonetheless, parents would never be by their
sides in most of the love marriages which happen without parents’ concern. Therefore, an arranged
marriage allows family to discover that person who completes us, and offer supportive advice about
the relationship when we are in need.

Secondly, no big compromises needed in arranged marriages. This is because, when we are
in love with someone and want to tie the knot on them, we need to make many compromises. Love
marriages demand give and take. For instance, we will have to sacrifice many things to meet the
expectations of the life partner to facilitate the marriage union. Whereas in arranged marriages, we
don’t need to make any compromises, hence even little acts of understanding and empathy can
make us happy and get along with each other safely. This plays a huge role in building the mansion
of a family.

On the other hand, in an arranged marriage, we have to spend the rest of our life with
someone whom we hardly know just to satisfy the society. This is extremely difficult to share our life
with someone who might not have the same interests with us. Perhaps we will end up being hurt
although our parents are there to solve the conflicts. For example, once a decision is taken in the
family, most people do not have the courage to argue with a partner who is a stranger. This leads us
to live an unhappy lifestyle without any expectations and life goals. Hence, arranged marriage can
also be a disadvantage to some of them who can't tackle these problems.

In short, arranged marriages can lead to a successful life and also might not lead to a
successful life. We need to learn the ways of tackling the obstacles in our life no matter what route
we choose to tie the knot.
