QOTW!
(Question Of The Week)
So, as most of you may know, in my culture marriages arranged by the parents/elders are more common as opposed to picking your own spouse. I feel like I am in the middle when it comes to this topic. I have seen arranged marriages work out extremely well, and those that turn out terrible. I have seen love marriages that turn out in a disaster, but have also seen some successful ones. It is really hard to say which one is 'better' because I really think it varies from person to person and from family to family. I feel like there are problems in every single marriage, it wouldn't be normal not to have any at all. It is human nature, we all are different, have different opinions, there are no 2 people that are alike in every single aspect.
I just want to make it clear though, that I am not for parents who don't give their children any choice what-so-ever or who just force their decision on their children! Neither am I for children who completely don't listen to their parents opinion or at least consider it. After all, they are only trying to protect their children.
Arranged marriage VS. Love marriage, what is your opinion and why?

I agree with you in being able to see the benefits of both. For me and my life personally I truly value my parents opinions b/c they (in terms of judging characters) have always been right. They won't arrange my marriage, but I will respect and ask their opinions on anyone who I date or who might ask me to marry them. In my case I have Liam's life and my life to consider. So I think love marriage works best for my life, but my parents will voice their opinion and I will listen.
