gfofaguy69 Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 no. they only worked out back in the day because no one would get divorced. which is not a good thing either. you shouldn't stay married when your miserable-you should just make sure its right and take a lot of time before you get married so that you don't have the problems that would cause divorce.

therunner Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 A guy I work with just got married through a semi- arranged marriage. His parents intoduced him to a woman of some people they knew and were hinting that they better get married. They got married last friday and have not really gone out any at all, they met and thought that if thier parents think it will work then why not. BTW, they are Muslim and very religious. They have not moved in together and won't until after a formal marriage at the mosque. I think it's wierd, he's happy. I don't know about her. But anyway best of luck to em.

HAZE Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 like a back-talkin' ol' lady for ONE!!Well that's probably the only good thing about it, you can usally smack around the girls who agree to arranged marraiges.

dgmodel Posted October 24 Author Report Share Posted October 24 my hypothesis: longer life expectancy... pre-marital sex... poor money management or lack of money... unexepected or unwanted children which forced them to marry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgmodel Posted October 24 Author Report Share Posted October 24 two other things i think, ppl who havent found themselves but find a bf/gf tend to break up once they find themselves or use it as an excuse to do so... along with society brainwashing everyone into thinking that if youre not married by thirty and barefoot and pregnant by thirt-five youre a loser is a big factor in all of this because IMO ppl rush into marriages or stay in stagnant relationships only because they feel if they dont theyre failures...
