3 Insights from Arranged Marriages
I came across this article online that highlighted three (3) valuable lessons the author, Reva Seth, learned when she wrote her book, First Comes Marriage: Modern Relationship Advice From The Wisdom of Arranged Marriages (Fireside, 2008).
The three (3) key insights taken from the Arranged Marriage model are:
1. Stop Drifting! Decide What You Want From Dating.
2. And Then Go Find It.
3. Put Coupledom In Context.
I’m not sure just how many of you guys are finding difficulty in achieving relationship bliss but there’s no reason for you to give up on the idea. Either you’d have problems with finding Mr./Miss Right or with managing your current relationship. These things are quite painful and inconvenient though normal occurrences but like what the author said, just with a slight paradigm shift, it won’t have to be so hard.
I didn’t expect to learn anything from the arranged marriage model. I recommend that you go and read the article: What Arranged Marriage Can Teach Us (Arranged marriage offers three keys insights into finding true love.). You’ll see what I mean.
Do come back and share your thoughts on the subject. Let’s talk!

Funny that you posted this, I just spotted this book in the bookstore yesterday. I especially agree with #1 - make a plan and just do it!
So many singles complain and then do nothing to change their lives. We’ve got to make an effort if we want something different in our lives.

I think people in arranged marriages see their spouse as their partner and their marriage as a job. They do not see their spouse as an object of romance or the fulfillment of some sexual fantasy
