Arranged marriage is still a thing in some places. Like the place my family is from, the place I am, India. I just met my cousin's wife and am shocked. Could such a thing still work? It's oddly tempting to surrender to the idea. To be pushed together with someone who is committed to making a marriage and entering into it with the idea that it may not be easy or perfect, but we're going to make it work. For the first time in my entire life, this is an honest consideration. Not going to lie, it's 100% because she's beautiful and can cook and seems to push him... And because I held my 1 year old nieces...
Thoughts?

To be honest, I think it may be just as viable. Here in the US people marry for "love," and most of those marriages end in divorce, sometimes disaster. The biggest worry I have is that both parties in the marriage have equal power, and that one isn't forced to do the bidding of the other. Aside from that, I may be more practical that what we're doing over here.

do they really marry for love though? or peer pressure?
Statistically it's more successful than "at will" marriages so...
