Description[?]:
| Since parents always end up settling for a bride or groom with similar upbringing, lifestyle, values, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, it removes the chances of any potential disparities. These similarities are an advantage as they make the partners highly compatible and the marriage stronger. Parental prestige and pride make every arranged marriage couple behave in a respectable and responsible way. They will never conduct themselves or their relationship in a way, which will put their families or familial relations in jeopardy. This ensures that both the partners will move equally towards making their marriage work. Plus, both the partners bring an equal level of understanding and respect in their relationship. In an arranged marriage, the couple receives love and support from each other's family. This becomes very essential for a girl as she has to leave her parent's home and go to her in-law's house after marriage. In such a scenario that extra scoop of love, care and understanding from the in-law's side go a long way to make her feel comfortable and welcomed in her new home. High level of understanding and higher adjusting abilities help in making ends meet and also filling the loopholes of marriage. This increases the compatibility and makes both the partners understand the importance of adjustment. Plus, every couple knows that their relationship has a direct effect on their family's bond as well. That is why a couple in an arranged marriage would work twice as hard to keep their relationship stable, then for another way out. Arranged marriage is based on mutual trust and understanding rather than ‘love at first sight’. In an arranged marriage, commitment is what brings the two people together and love gradually blossoms. So, commitment is the strongest advantage for those who are going for an arranged marriage. |
