1. The Enchanted - Rene Denfield
Arranged marriage in this age?
Monday, April 16, 2007
I was hanging out with a friend today and he was telling me that he has a fiance. Bwahahaha. No I was just laughing out loud because I'm just simply happy for him to have found someone to live with. But then he was telling me that it was arranged by his mum and the 'fiance' mum. He was just attesting to the idea of arranged marriage.

But I think that's a pretty cool idea. And don't look at me in a scornful way - I won't ever be tangled up in an arranged marriage. No Way.

But I don't see why not of giving a try to see what's in the opposite person. It can be fun to get knowing a person via arranged marriage. Or did I read too much shoujo manga?

What if arranged marriage really could give a person absolute happiness that two persons in a marriage are looking for? You know there are many divorce cases ... and then you see young couples holding hand lovey dovey but how many of these couples can live together for long? And not ended up in divorcing? And not ended up in hating each other?

Yea. I have listed some points of arranged marriage but I for one won't want that.

Funny isn't it???

yeah, depending on how well your parents know you and how nice they are, they can do a good job of matching up two people who come from the same kind of background and have the same values. Sometimes that's the most important thing that you need for a marriage to work. Of course, everyone likes to think that they will have the opportunity to go and find true love or their soul mate, but if you never really expected that, you can be very happy in an arranged marriage it seems. I know quite a few people who have them and for sure it's different from a regular marriage, but no less happy, and maybe more happy because there aren't such high expectations.

I thought your mom decided to arrange a marriage for you. Well it might and might not work out.. though I still wonder if Koreans really still go for match making like in the dramas.. Anyway, hope your friend and his fiancee lives happily ever after.

Ecck, arranged marriage. Even though it seems pretty okay, I think it's still better to be able to choose who you would want to be with. My friend nearly got into an arranged marriage with her cousin (not blood related) who was nearly 10 years older than her =/. When I heard it I was thinking of hiding her out in my house lol. Luckily they cancelled it in the end XD.
