Initially they have all kinds of conditions, but once married everything is accepted. Don't we all have certain expectations, but soon learn to accept things that may eventually come our way and be happy?<br />More than dwelling in such issues I had written this piece many years ago as a humorous 'middle'.<br />Thanks for stopping by my blog.Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558799463956912149.post-90228803624353254952010-10-28T13:39:03.206+05:302010-10-28T13:39:03.206+05:30Rama, loved this post!

Arranged or love... doesnt matter.. true lessons to be learned begin once you start living together and it is all about making compromises by either of the couple and learning pluses from each other to lead a successful life.<br />But to be honest, I have come across men and women like Raghav who are happy with their choices of living alone after years of searching for the "right" partner and not finding one, there is no compulsion to learn lessons and evolve :-)padmajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297562916603110230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558799463956912149.post-79336034466135497892010-10-27T20:57:44.673+05:302010-10-27T20:57:44.673+05:30I agree with Ramesh that any marriage will work wi...I agree with Ramesh that any marriage will work with give and take policy.<br /><br />Let it be give, give and give or take, take and take or the ideal one of give and take! <br /><br />But certainly not on 'giving up' policy!subuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17144765439062666175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558799463956912149.post-15582341766774750872010-10-26T20:06:00.255+05:302010-10-26T20:06:00.255+05:30Beautiful comments...Beautiful comments...DIGITAL WORLD PAGES ARCHIVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909338297587914724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558799463956912149.post-71167444894876783792010-10-26T12:57:25.644+05:302010-10-26T12:57:25.644+05:30Hello Rama,

I have seen love marriages fail and arranged marriages also can also spell disaster.<br /><br />The most difficult part about a difficult marriage is that partners go through enormous suffering and agony.It is always better to get out of a contentious and quarrel some marriage.<br /><br />I enjoyed your story immensely,<br />JosephJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558799463956912149.post-18412330999765858632010-10-26T12:21:19.324+05:302010-10-26T12:21:19.324+05:30My own marriage was arranged and it worked pretty ...My own marriage was arranged and it worked pretty well.

I'm glad cos now I found yours and its very interesting! Here's my spin...arranged marriages fail, love marriages fail, arranged marriages work and love marriages work! I have been married for 30 yrs now....semi arranged. My husband pursued me doggedly all through college and I finally caved in.....! My folks wanted me to marry him even before that...so it was a win win all around! But whatever it is, it takes two to make it work. We've had our shares of ups and downs without any question, but communication is key! That along with love and respect will make any marriage work!Kaminihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986320387981369338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558799463956912149.post-49467467590897828022010-10-23T11:23:57.076+05:302010-10-23T11:23:57.076+05:30Arranged or not, marriages are hard work and expec...Arranged or not, marriages are hard work and expectations can be very high. I always feel devastated when my husband and I argue, but as long as we recover and get back on an even keel, all is well. I'm sure arranged marriages can work as well as any other.

Why only South Indians, all Indians will love it :). The matchmaking stays pretty much the same all around our country. Luckily for me, my marriage was what we both call "self-arranged." We met through an internet matrimonial site, were in touch through emails, then met personally and decided to get married and then brought in our parents into the decision. It was not love but a great friendship, physical chemistry, and the knowledge about each other of what we valued.<br /><br />But, you are right, the best of matches can fall out of love. It is a totally different ball game when you make a life with somebody or raise a family. It is a world apart from dating or being in a relationship of love.<br /><br />Really wonderful post!Rachnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02275266551382931603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558799463956912149.post-35160949925264540102010-10-23T00:17:27.902+05:302010-10-23T00:17:27.902+05:30anything can happen in anything anyone can failanything can happen in anything anyone can failSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421656022621802223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558799463956912149.post-71074027624285709672010-10-22T20:12:36.884+05:302010-10-22T20:12:36.884+05:30Marriage, Love, relationship, working/non working ...Marriage, Love, relationship, working/non working partner- if we blog about each subject, we can create a full fledged blog for each subject.<br /><br />But I enjoyed reading the story.kiran sawhneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08719453823002698478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558799463956912149.post-41075289703493793212010-10-22T10:47:55.190+05:302010-10-22T10:47:55.190+05:30arranged or love marriage will work if the partner...arranged or love marriage will work if the partners are compatible and work hard to make it work.Renuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052079745061422542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558799463956912149.post-47871245518986727972010-10-20T18:39:39.057+05:302010-10-20T18:39:39.057+05:30Enjoyed reading the story.

Expectations are what land in disasters. And it's not a one-day affair. It's a lifetime of understanding and loving each other :)RGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15279590663523317849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558799463956912149.post-88810167470961593102010-10-20T15:03:52.420+05:302010-10-20T15:03:52.420+05:30You are very correct, but are there any marriages ...You are very correct, but are there any marriages made in heaven Keats?Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558799463956912149.post-31365384151736002282010-10-20T14:20:16.266+05:302010-10-20T14:20:16.266+05:30The recipe is give and take for a successful marri...The recipe is give and take for a successful marriage.
