Marriage Arranged or Love?

Combination of both, which I call 'Lovely arrange marriage' =)

I believe arranged marriage is better :))
because when you are in relationship with someone you only talk on the phone or may be go out for limited hours then when you marry each others you'll find a whole different person! because you are staying together all the time so you will keep comparing between the old person you knew and the new one which make a lot of problems!!
but in arranged marriage you will marry someone whom you like and you love them later by time so you will live with only one personality!
WoW i really talked a lot ! :P

People get married for different reasons and I feel often it can be a huge compromise depending on the circumstances. Thus, accordingly, some might prefer arranged, some love marriages. I have seen enough examples of people who opted for arranged and those who opted for love marriages and in both cases, some were successful and some were not.
Nowadays, so many factors play an important role, that I allow myself to term the so-called 'love marriages' as 'rational love marriages' since people not always just blindly fall in love. I feel falling in love first and then making it look like an arranged marriage can be really difficult, since convincing the families is perhaps the most difficult part and if families do not agree, things can end badly.
Basically, I think we simply ponder too much on these issues. Let things come your way and I believe that Allah will lead you the right way, inshaAllah. :) If things do not work out, there must be a greater wisdom behind that and we all are tested in one way or the other.
And as you all might have noticed, I do question the 'knowing-the-person-well-enough-before-marrying part'. The more you assume you know someone, perhaps the little you know that very person. Expectations lead to disappointments and in love marriages people often need to face those while they do not expect this to happen, whereas in arranged marriage - people are open for anything as they basically know the person superficially and do not expect way too much. They are somewhat 'rational'.
Lets come back here once we all have found our partners and then disclose how things went for us ;)

You never know what or who comes ahead...

Whatever the opinion you should never limit the options and let the time decide ...

Where your parents are happy... Though it is your decision but we should respect the opinion of parents.

Arranged with love....

Anybody married here? We married for love and against all odds. Now almost four years and we still get to know each other. Nothing is certain in life and you need to learn to appreciate the small treasures like your husband helping you with guests or your wife packing your suitcase for a trip. Love is like a plant - it needs soil and water PLUS when your family is happy with your choice it helps.

Arranged cum Love marriage ... !

I think we fail to see that marriage is not convenience in disguise. Sure we would love someone who would not add to our problems but people are people, we create problems at some point (actually, at many points). But I would go for someone I know at a certain extent. We have been given limits in knowing the opposite gender and I think it is there to give us leeway, so we don't go into lifelong decisions blindly, at the same time leaving that uncertainty for us to trust Allah SWT in whatever might happen.

And Allah SWT knows best.

Both needs Understanding, Compromising attitude... either Love either Arrange.

Its all about trust, feelings and understanding. If these are not present then let it be love or arranged marriage. It will end up in disaster. We can't make ourselves love the best person and can't stopping ourselves from loving the most undesired one.

As marriage is a very beautiful relationship by the love of two successive persons...parent choice must be respect the foremost ...laterly if ur choice becomes your parent choice than its well and good..

Love and then arranged

Love should be there, either before or after ; ) Im okay with both.

Arrange

Love Marriage means you marry with your girlfriend and arrange marriage means you marry with someones girlfriend. :) so... what you like Aaquib?

Let love be the path, and Arranged be the destination.!! :)

i think arrange is better.

wesay Love is better but ghr waloon ki marzi shamil ho dono side say
