Marriage, be it love or arranged, has its pros and cons. While some prefer knowing and falling in love with their partner before getting into matrimony, others have their own reason for going the traditional ‘arranged’ way to tie the knot.
But according to this Twitter user, Vedika Jain, arranged marriages are more successful than love marriages. She even shared this unpopular opinion with people online.
Unpopular opinion: Arrange marriages are more successful than love marriages!🫣

And the moment she tweeted this controversial thought, people were quick to jump to the comments section to give their two cents on the matter.
A lot of people supported her claim saying that since there’s family involved, it makes it difficult to break.
That’s because in arrange marriage, both families work hard to make it successful while in the latter they try to create more obstacles

It’s coz in arrange marriages families are more into compromise & solving issues. & in love they are like tumhari pasand tum jaano, divorce lelo. They are less supportive because it’s our own choice.

Arranged Marriages happens amongst folks that cares about tradition. It isn’t just a unison of two people, but a unison of two families as well. In such an atmosphere, the folks in marriage have more pressure to stay married despite their personal feelings of their marriage.

In arrange marriage there is a sense of mystery to know about the partner and initial trials to impress which leads to better adjustment (result of step by step understanding) as they unravel each other resulting in realistic expectations. In love marriage it’s kinda opposite

its understandable why so,you get into an arranged marriage with a prior made up mindset of adjusting and with a sense of tolerance and are also ready make more compromises and sacrifices to make the marriage work no matter what.

Bcos its a union of two failed love relationships..they don’t expect much and carry on sometimes without love..

Arranged marriages in majority of cases are a lifetime compromise. Someone who can’t make choices on their own will stay in that bond even though they don’t like it.

However, many said love marriages last longer as the couple knows each other well.
True….but arranged marriage is a gamble..the first day they meet..both of them put there best foot forward..so how can you know about each other on the first meet..you only get to know each other after the marriage

If separation/divorce is your parameter, probably you are right. But there are too many confounders here.
Someone who can not (or not allowed to) choose their partner to start with, won’t be able to separate so easily. That’s inevitable.— shambo guha roy (@ChestradRoy) October 10, 2022
But now these days love marriage looks safer than arrange marriage. Atleast you are aware of her background. Chances are less of filing 498A.

There were also some who thought that it’s not the type of marriage but the bond between the couple is what leads to a happy and successful marriage.
There is no rule like this. I have seen in both cases the strength of both the charts are important

Two imperfect persons makes it possible and find their own way! Mutual understandings of a common goal for kids and family to provides better future! Sacrifices from both sides! 25 years and still adding more years. Personal experience.

If couples are compatible both kind of marriages can work better or otherwise none.

It’s not the marriage that gets successful or spoiled instead it’s the mutual understanding that is being compromised 📍

In love marriages and in arranged marriages,time is the key factor.
Once the ‘honeymoon phase/euphoric phase’ is over,any relationship can run into obstacles.Thats when the mettle of the couple will be tested.
Doesn’t matter whether it is arranged or love marriages.— Thomas Joseph (@thomasjoseph_tj) October 10, 2022
I always tell this to others….love marriage is also an arrange marriage.. it's just that we are arranging it not parents.

Earlier, even Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor said that an arranged marriage is better and backed it with a solid reason. Which team are you on, love or arranged marriage?
