Judging by the divorce rate in the US where we date for a long time before marrying, it does not appear the length of time you spend with someone before deciding to exchange vows them is not a good predictor of success in marriage.
Actually I would say arrange marriages have a higher chance of success simply because people who know you well decide to give you in marriage to someone else whom they know kind of well.
- winter_blue 11y agoI'll quote user jey here: "remains married" isn't a good proxy for "high-quality relationship". You don't know if these people in arranged marriages have high-quality close relationships, and whether their hearts are really knitted together.
- MollyR 11y agoWhat does hearts are "really knitted together" even mean ? I agree about the proxy part, but for rational discourse we need to start somewhere. Personally, I don't know what that is because I don't think I've had a high quality relationship or maybe I'm not even sure what that means.
