RJA #2b: Research Topic

Marriage! When you hear this word what comes into your mind? I used to picture it there being a dad, a mom, and their little kids, with a pet dog name Rex. But that’s not all marriage is about is it? I chose to do my research on love and arrange marriage. Because where I’m from it’s usually an arranged marriage but here in U.S most citizens usually married with their partner for love and sometimes they don’t even married but just live with each other as boyfriend and girlfriend. That makes me want to think why it’s so different in U.S. than in from where I am from.
Marriages have been going on for a very long time, but there are always different reasons behind each marriage. Some married for love, others married for family business for money, political marriage to gain power, or just because of their class. There had been a lot of arguments on the pros and cons on arrange or love marriage. People say having an arrange marriage usually last forever because they will get to know each other during their married life but it can also end in disaster because there is a risk you might not get along. For love marriage, people married each other because they feel comfortable and love each other but it also have its bad side to it such as you might get bored with your partner because you already know too much of each other. I know for the fact is arrange marriage is usually chosen by your parents depending on what’s going to be good for their child and not considering about whether they like each other.
In my country there have been a lot of arrange marriage going on for the fact that my dad and mom got married but my dad said their marriage was love and arrange marriage, but judging from my parents relationship, it looks like they don’t know much about each other anymore and because of that I think for my parent it was mostly an arrange marriage for both of them. Now days I usually here this word love and arrange marriage together but, is there really such thing as an love and arrange marriage or is it still love or arrange marriage?
