In my country, India, arranged marriages are common and it was for me too. My husband was chosen by my parents and me by his parents. For us it is important that the families too gel well. My husband and I had got only 10 minutes to decide, in which I dunno how we said yes. Frankly, I had always made wrong choices (with heart) previously and finally told my parents 'I will marry whoever you pick'.
In a month, we were engaged and married a month later. But somehow we clicked together like 'match made in heaven'!
We starting living together and gradually loving each other. All the elements to keep the marriage are there and whatever is not we both make peace with it together. Touch wood!
