"If it’s just parents introducing their son/daughter to their friend's son/daughter and want them to get to know each other and let the son/daughter to decide whether they want to be friend or not before going for anything further, then it’s OK but I still find it weird -.-” <strong>pelf: *smiles* Weird, that's how I thought I'd feel too :)</strong> I mean… “If it’s just parents introducing their son/daughter to their friend’s son/daughter and want them to get to know each other and let the son/daughter to decide whether they want to be friend or not before going for anything further, then it’s OK but I still find it weird -.-”

It's so weird... Just can't explain. Really weird... *shrug* If it's just parents introducing their son/daughter to their friends or whoever son/daughter and want them to get to know each other and let the son/daughter to decide whether they want to be friend or not before going for anything further, then it's OK but I still find it weird -.-" I would rather make my own friends rather than making friends with someone that my parents intro. <strong>pelf: I'd rather make my own friends too, but *points up to Kat's comment* Kat also has her point, you know.. Apparently, "our" decision may not always be the "right" one, hahha..</strong> Arranged marriage scare the hell out of me. It’s so weird… Just can’t explain.

It's because the both of them work at the relationship instead of just letting emotions (i.e. falling in love) take its course. <strong>pelf: Exactly.. It needs to be worked on, huh? :)</strong> You want to know why arranged marriages last longer?

So many people who "choose" their partners change their minds after a while. Maybe it just goes to show that we should let our parents decide everything for us :-P <strong>pelf: Why didn't I think of this earlier? Just let the parents decide! :) Hhaha..</strong> When I think about marriage these two sayings always come to mind: <em>I resolve not just to marry the person I love, but to love the person I marry.</em> and <em>The best thing that parents can do for their children is to love each other.</em> <strong>pelf: How "right" they sound, huh?</strong> I think there are some good things about arranged marriages, for one the couple cannot get divorced so the children have more stability growing up.
