There are several couples that I know that have had arranged marriages. It is interesting to see if some of these relationships actually work. One of my closest friends who comes from Nigeria was set up with a girl also from Nigeria. They both live in the United State and they have been married for almost a year with an 8 month old baby.

I began thinking how long this marriage will really last. Does she really love him? Living in America you tend to have more choices and will look outside the box. She may venture out to see what else waits for her since her husband and my friend is also handicapped. He has a hard time walking without crutches. I can only hope she will stay with him but one never knows. Arranged marriages seem to fail leaving one of the people in the relationship sad and lonely. I’m sure there a few that probably work with both people in the relationship being happy but I haven’t seen them.
