Seems a little out dated, but the broken marriages and divorces on the rise make me think, is it the love marriage that doesn't strike, if yes then why not arranged marriages and developing your love life after the nuptial knot.

It could happen. But you know why people are separating? It's because women are empowered. They earn, and with income comes independence.

The best way to keep people from divorcing each other is to repeal the divorce laws.

Right on, silas! Remove 'em and we'll have no more divorces! But I'd still go for love marriages. Arranged ones are alright if you will be married to a good-looking guy. What if you'll be asked to marry a person who looks hideously ugly?

Keeping a marriage strong, is hard work but worth it. I believe that people give up to quickly now days and are not willing to give it the kind of time it needs to work out.

I don't agree. How does repealing the divorce laws change an unhappily married couple into a happy couple? Is it better to be unhappily married, or divorced but happier in life? I prefer the latter.

If you mean by repealing the divorce laws that people should not be married in the first place, then it still doesn't solve the problem of how many "relationship breakups" there are in today's society.

I agree. It's usually the harder-to-maintain things in life that are the most rewarding.

Love is very important, when you love someone beforehand then you can love them throughout your life, where as if you are forced together then it can be difficult to learn to love someone.

i agree with you. i like the divorce thing because if you happen to marry someone who is not really meant for you, then divorce is the answer. we have the right to be happy. what is the sense of staying together if the love is not there anymore? that is a torture. marriage with love is still the best.

i would also like to share my idea about love marriage and arranged one. love marriage is a good thing because love is the foundation of a good marriage and relationship. but then sometimes, arranged marriage can also work out. if you try to open your heart and let your feelings grow for that person, then i would also go for arranged marriage.

I think both has its pros and cons. According to me both are good if partners are ready to sacrifice and co-operate for/with each other. Respecting each others choices is also much important.
