pre-arranged marriages! Posted: 7/22/2005 4:44:08 PM | | The westerners seem to expect a lot from their partners and when there are conflicts of interests, that will lead to problems. They are more open and adventerous. In oriental societies, marriages are like life time commitments. One can't really say which one is better. One has more choices but being so flexible can create more problems where the boundary of ethics is often blurred and the relationships can be only skin-deep , while in the other, one has to live with what he/she got, but there is often more faith love and care in such relationship. I don't think there is a 'great deal of energy' involved in finding a 'soulmate', but the real point is where the responsibility falls. | | | |
