Yep, it's not a bad deal in some cases, and would make some things a heck of a lot easier.I am beginning to understand why some cultures practice prearrangement of marriages. I am not necessarily saying I would want to participate but I do see how it can eliminate a major decision being decided based on one's hormones and/or emotions.

I don't think I'd be opposed to an arranged marriage if we both consented to it beforehand.
I think it could work if you had a really good relationship with your parents and they respected your input and preferences. Even then, I would insist on meeting the person first. I could actually trust my mom to set me up with someone good as she knows how I think and what I like. She's helped me a few times to end relationships that were bound for trouble. Sometimes an unbiased and close family member or friend can help you see straight. Often times though, family can be meddling or not in sync with a person's wishes. I guess it really depends on the family dynamics.
Don't you think the parents have maybe even bigger shopping lists?I find it odd that a group of Christians who have endless shopping lists would then say they support arranged marriages.

Well. For instance.. My best friend is almost 17 and very mature (gotta be in her case) but wouldn't probably be ready for 3 years so I've opted for an endeared sister.I, in a way, support arranged marriages if the guy and the lady is within 5 years of age part. Like 23 and 18 is ok. I do not support arranged marriage that is a 40 year old guy with a 25 year old lady.
Of course both the guy and the lady should agree before hand on the arranged marriage. And they should see a few photos of each other before hand. The only requirement of an arrange marriage is they do not get to talk to each other at all before the marriage.
