Love Marriage vs. Arranged Marriage


Relationship Guidance may be required in both types of marriages. But which one is better? Let’s find out. 

Are arranged marriages better than marrying for loveMarriage is an important social institution and every individual wants to have a perfect match. In love marriages, individuals choose partners on their own, while in case of arranged marriages, partners are being chosen by the family.

Presence of strong emotional planets in the fifth house indicates that there will be other love relationships in your life. Conversely, if the relationship between your fifth and seventh house is weak then the chances of an arranged marriage increase.


Doing Things Together
It is important that couples spend time together. With busy lives, many commitments and children to care for couples can find themselves with very little time for each other. Spending time together regularly, shopping, dining out, going to the cinema, walking, swimming,involvement in sports, exercising,  sharing  hobbies and holidays  can help couples become closer and have more time to talk and therefore get to know one another better.


Emotional Closeness
Emotional closeness will help couples get to know and understand each other more deeply and also have empathy for each other. It involves being open with each other about feelings, thoughts, beliefs, values, hopes, worries, fears, dreams and ambitions. Attentive listening enhances emotional closeness when both individuals  listen in order  to get to know and understand their partner more fully, rather than to disagree,  judge, blame or  criticise their partner.


Marriage is a very important social institution. Every individual wants to have a perfect match, but the criteria for choosing the partner is different. In love marriages, individuals prefer to choose their partners on their own, while in case of arrange marriages individuals prefers partners chosen by their family or parents. There is a continuous debate regarding the best way to choose the partner for marriage. Let’s analyze which one of the two is better.

Love marriage

- Both individuals know each other already and mutually decide to spend the whole life with each other.

-Couple is responsible for its choice and onus of the blame in future lies on the couple only and nobody else.

-Couple is aware of each other’s likes and dislikes. Therefore they will get along well.


Arrange marriage:

-Arrange Marriage is not a contract between two individuals alone but a confluence of two families.

-Two families involved in arrange marriages know each other very well and are compatible with each other.

-Because there are more people involved in arrange marriage, the conflict between the couple will be effectively resolved or mitigated.

-Couple is guided by parents experience whereas in love marriage couple is unknown about the future complexities in life and lacks this experience.


Both ways have their merits as well as demerits and marriage is a decision of lifetime. Though families are involved in most of the marriages, it’s the couple which has to live together for lifetime. So, the decision to choose life partner should be left to the individuals. Ultimately no one can certify the best way for a perfect marriage life because like life marriages too are full of uncertainties.
