I am really curious as to the success rate (both people happy, loving/loved) of arranged marriages.
The fact that two people, on their own, unassisted, can be in a relation for years that ends up going nowhere, or be in a relationship for months that ends up happily ever after, makes me wonder how two people with no say in the matter at all can make it work.
