Marriages are a very important institution in our society. Marriage is a pure bond between two individuals and two families coming together. 

Every individual desires a perfect match, but the criteria for selecting a spouse to vary. 

In a love marriage, people prefer to select their partners on their own, while in arrange marriage, parents select suitable partners for their children. 

Both of them are good. There is no 100% surety in any one of them. In the end, it all comes down to you! 

Some believe that love marriages are better because you’ve known the person for long, you know everything about them, and so you’ll never have compatibility issues and your marriage can never fail! 

And some believe that arrange marriages are better because parents have more experience, and they tend to select the best for their children who match their caste, religion, and basically someone who is just a perfect match for their child.

Both marriages have their own pros and cons. Let’s have a look at them.

Love marriages – pros 

1.Understanding and love 

Couples who have known each other for a long, have a lot of mutual understanding and love. They understand each other’s likes and dislikes, and the foundation of their marriage is love.

2. Compatibility

Couples share a high level of compatibility with each other in love marriages. There are fewer fights and arguments.

3. Independence in taking responsibilities 

Couples are independent enough to make their own decisions and responsibilities. And they are not in a position to blame elders or parents for any loss or gain.

Love marriages – cons 

1. No family support at times

Sometimes families or parents do not support love marriages or the partner which is chosen by their child! And so love marriages often do not have family support!

2. Does not last long

Since the couple has known each other long even before the marriage, they tend to get bored of each other after few years of marriage. Then there are fights, misunderstandings, and compatibility issues.

Arranged marriages – pros

1.Family involvement 

Parents in Arrange marriages inquire about each other’s family and group. As a result, there is a good chance that one will fall in love with someone from a family that is similar to their own. This prevents people from blindly trusting others, as is the case in certain love marriages.

2. Love grows with time

Love in love marriages tends to go away with time, according to psychologists, whereas love is planned marriages strengthens with time.

3. Adjustment capacity

The couple is new to each other, so they try to adjust and understand each other’s likes and dislikes after marriage. And adjustment is one of the biggest things you need for a successful marriage.

Arranged marriage – cons

1.Compatibility issues

Since the couple is new to each other, it is difficult to build understanding and so there are a lot of compatibility issues.

2. Trust issues

Trust takes time to build. Hence, the couple in arranged marriages face trust issues and are often not comfortable with sharing everything with their partners.
