    I would be open to it if it weren't forced. My friends and family tried to hook me up with guys all the time so I guess that's kind of arranged.

    I personally would not want an arranged marriage, but I have no problem with them. I personally have a friend who is in an arranged marriage and they are very happy together, married for 2 years so far!

    My major concern with arranged marriages is sometimes they are forced between children.

    I’m Indian. And arranged marriages are becoming more and more uncommon these days in our culture
    my parents have an arranged marriage and I’m blessed to be able to grow up around a love and bond so strong.
    I’m not having an arranged marriage but I’ve seen it go either way. There are some super success stories and some that have ended in disaster

    Honestly this wouldn't fly with me. But I guess it's because I have this mentality that I want it to be organic and my decision. I hear they can work out well though especially if you're matched with someone that's fitting of you

    I completely understand wanting to organically fall in love with someone.
