Does it? Can it? Could it?

Work that is?

"You're beautiful."

"You can't say things like that - you've only seen some photos!"

"But you talk beautiful and you sound beautiful."

Arranged marriages - do they? Can they? Could they?

I used to laugh at even the thought of arranged marriages... But it seems like a lot of people are not really looking to connect.. they are looking for a list of things they want from a marriage.. so if the arranged marriage gives them that list its cool.. or they won't do it.

But if you are looking to connect.. then, arranged or not.. I guess you have to spend loads and loads of time.. and just see how right and snug it all feels.. isn't it?

Well what can I say.. Marriage is like a lottery… if you’re lucky enough you might get the right person… otherwise… I think I better not talk about it

Uhu: I think t hat they are a feasible option of marriage. I mean, like you say - people have a list of things that they would like/expect from a marriage so if it helps them get as close to that list as poss then why not?

Nifraz: Talk, talk! But yes - like a lottery that I'm probably never going to win!

it could.. it can... it does.. kinda.. perhaps.. well.. sorta.. almost.. :D

i think there has to be a kinda compromise between both forms.. meetin someone thru an 'arrangement' is fine, but in da end u need to feel tat connection too.. n if its 'the one', u wont need years n years to feel tat..

well would you LOOK at the statistics ? they seem to work much better than the self-negatiated ones :-) boringthough arent they?

Scrumps said...

Gehan: I totally agree!

The Whackster: Well - they are boring and it's not much of a story to tell the grand kids but they have a higher rate of producing grand kids! Catch 22 situation no?
