The corona virus will not go away quickly.
Especially during this period it is important to remember.
- Arranged marriages DOES NOT mean there will be no love in it. 3 of my cousin sisters' marriages were ARRANGED & they're all happily in love with their husbands.
- Support from families of both parties.
- Familial ties & relations are maintained.
- Can depend on both sides of the family in case of some urgency/emergency & you'll be helped both financially & physically.
- Festivals & celebrations are celebrated with joy & happiness from both sides of the family.
- You'll be welcomed at all times into both family homes & they shall see to it that you're respected to say the least.
- If both of you fall sick, your families can help you with YOUR FOOD habits & even if you aren't, you can still ask your mom/MIL to cook your favorite home cooked food you've loved as a child.
- Help during child-rearing is a major benefit if the marriage is arranged. Your children will follow in your footsteps & they shall benefit from the family ties to their grandparents & all elders. They can be relied upon for advice & help.
- Tolerance on both sides of the family if you commit a mistake. You will be scolded, sure, but you'll be taught to do the right thing. That's how people will grow.
- You'll be taught a sense of purpose, responsibility & goal to strive towards for your community. You shall help your community & see the people in your community as your own brothers & sisters.
- You can obtain the counsel of elders from both the parties in the marriage & from the elders they will introduce you to in the future. No human being is all-knowledgable, everyone needs advice in small things in life. You'll develop a sense of respect for your parents, in-laws & elders.
I'm sure there are lots more reasons, but I just went off the top of my head.
