arranged marriage vs mflove

Both arranged marriage and marrying for love have good points and bad ones. And this is the issue I¡¯m going to explore in my essay.

Although arranged marriage is not as popular as it used to be, people still can benefit from it.

First, the idea of marrying for love was considered bizarre and foolish in the past. Marriages were contracted largely for political or military reasons, to cement alliances, for riches, land, status or trade advantages, and to form bonds between two families. Therefore they were extremely important to the nobility, as they could provide alliances with other families to increase a family¡¯s prestige or influence. Hence, very few men and women of noble birth chose their own partners. Families usually took a strong hand in arranging marriages.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." (In Austen, ch. 1)

I have a very good example of successful arranged marriage.

In the 17th century, with the love for her country, princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty traveled from afar to Tibet to get married with the King of Tibet, Songtsan Gambo, a man of wisdom and courage. After the marriage, the Central Plains and the Tubo


Zena: We've discusses this at great length but we've decided that it would be wrong to bring a child into this situation and I don't think we could cope with them at the moment.

Besides, the misunderstanding of love might be another problem. The so-called love might not be real love but lust or merely fantasy. As it is reported that Americans, who make more of marrying for love than any other people, also break up more on their marriages

Zena: We were tracked down once after we left by our original birth names. We've spent 23 hours in one room together - it's like a prison sentence.

This is just the extreme case, in less extreme ones. The outer appearance of a stable family may be maintained in fear of people¡¯s gossip, but coupled with absent fathers and physical affection rarely shown between couples, you can say that ¡°the family¡± is more of an ¡°alliance¡± than it is a ¡°union of love¡±.
