[quote=Anonymous]A few former coworkers of mine had arranged marriages. One was Nigerian and two were Indian. There was one in particular I used to travel with a lot, and one night at dinner we talked about it. He saw it as a positive, said the families took a lot of care looking for a spouse for their children. Then, as another poster said, they coached the young bride and groom on how to approach the marriage. If there were problems in the marriage, there was more coaching. He seemed to think this was good, but I could see it going either way. I also think he was somewhat socially awkward, and it might’ve been a relief for him to have not had to look for his own wife. Again, I realize that’s not a ringing endorsement. I didn’t know his wife well but I felt like she might’ve been out of his dating league had they met organically. [/quote]
