Mom, I want to get MARRIED~~

HEHE.. A title is just a title. This is not me who wants to get married. I just want to talk about issues we have been discussing in class. Dr. Jaya asked us to discuss about arranged marriage during last class. Was it good or bad?? Why is it so good? Why is it bad?

This issue is not something new to us. But, as the new generations, many of us are against arranged marriage. For us, it is our life, so the decision is ours. Not the parents or anybody else. But after listening to my friends’ thought regarding this issue, I start to see this issue from a very different perspective. Like my friend said, marriage is not just between the man and the woman. It is also about the two different families joining together through the marriage of their child. So, it is okay to let the parents choose our future husband/wife because they know us well. They will surely try to find someone nice, from a good family that can fits in with our family.

But still, this is an arguable issue. There are pros and cons depending on how people see it. In my point of view, I can say that there is nothing wrong for the parents to help their child finding their future spouse, BUT let your child decide. You just can suggest someone but it doesn’t mean that the child must agree to it.

As for me, I do not mind having an arranged marriage as long as the man has a good job, reliable, and has all the good qualities. Bring it on!! Why not??

  1. Oh wow! That's the spirit! When it comes to marriage, it's not as easy as ABC. A lot of thinking should be done because this is a matter of a lifetime. You'll be spending the rest of your life with him, of course you want what is best for u. I love your attitude.

    Bring it on!
