I have some mix feelings, I was not involved in a prearranged marriage, but I was raised very strict, and was told that I was to marry within our own kind. Not to be unequaled yoked... When I meet my hubby, he had been married before and that was a big no no... but When God Buts two people together then past don't matter.. 30yrs of Kim Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598458499168086475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25827171.post-87607582680560463862012-03-13T08:16:47.886-07:002012-03-13T08:16:47.886-07:00Arranged marriages to me, would be so frightening!...Arranged marriages to me, would be so frightening! I mean you don't know if the man is kind, if he's a wife beater, or a cheater...the whole idea to me is just awful. On the other hand, I love reading books about arranged marriages, b/c they almost always end up happily ever after. :)<br /><br />I would love to win this book and thank you for the opportunity!<br /><br /><br />Diana Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127629740742628849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25827171.post-3317439524385960812012-03-12T20:16:20.154-07:002012-03-12T20:16:20.154-07:00I know someone who has been married for 30yrs tha...I know someone who has been married for 30yrs that is in an arranged marriage. She is very happy and in love. She met her husband at the altar. The next day she was in a brand new country (US). Sounds scary to us but that is there culture and it works and there is rarely any divorce. <br />kathleen.bianchi@gmail.comKATHLEEN.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227810679206514370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25827171.post-63360175769566334542012-03-12T19:43:03.309-07:002012-03-12T19:43:03.309-07:00I know people who are still having arranged marria...I know people who are still having arranged marriages.
