god too many things to go wrong! what if ones a game player like most of my ex's were! one cheating on the married person the whole time. what if they just do NOT get along?! marriage should be something two people choose to go into. of course with religious issues arranging it who knows whats gonna happen!

Well......that's your choice.....But Louisiana has created a LOT of separated people by their draconian full 365 days of "separation from bed and board" requirement!!! They think they are gonna save marriages by changing it from 6 months!!

traditionally, in the non-western world, the arranged marriages were used to join families into a beneficial arrangement. The male was as helpless in the choice just as much as the woman. most of them actually worked pretty well

but in the western world women have gotten into the habit of always considering themselves to be victims of evil male culture so it wouldn't work here
