Arranged marriage verses divorce.

ARRANGED MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.
Marriage is a beautiful thing but the rate at married people are trying to run away from it (divorce) is indeed alarming. The wedding is always lovely and colorful with love flying all around the air, with the couples smiling from ear to ear and not many marriages survive the first 10 years. Hmmmm………
From my research, there are two types of marriages:
Arranged marriage: this type of marriage is rooted deep in tradition. It is practiced many times in India and some part of Africa.
Marriage that is not arranged: it’s a product of feeling ( love,infatuation, affection etc). Its majorly practiced in the west, the united states. At times, the couples elope and don’t seek the counsel or involvement of their parents.

I found out that the rate of divorce is higher with marriages that are not arranged than with arranged marriages. The question then is why?

I think that with all marriages, there expectations from both couples but the truth is - arranged marriage couples expect anything and not just the best so they are committed to make it work. I think this a reason divorce rate is lower with arranged marriages.

I would appreciate your votes and contributions so we can all educate ourselves.
