Love & Arranged Marriage

Over the years it has been proved that arranged marriages can last longer than so called love marriages.In love marriages expectations from partners are too high, they shape up as demands. and if demands are not met frustrations are high. It has been my experience as a marriage counsellor that couples who had love marriages fight more intensly as compared to the couples who marry in a traditional way.I am not advocating arranged marriages but would like to state that couples opting for love marriages need to be more realistic and more flexible.

All couples may have to remember the basic fact that love grows over the period. Both partners have to work for love enhancement. Love is not a static thing.It is a process. And many a times in love marriages couples forget this basic fact.

Can anyone share his experience of Love growing gradually in arranged marriages?
