  • To put it differently, is acting on impulse, blinded by love, really the cleverest way of choosing the person we will be with forever? Adam Saleh, best known for his hip-hop music videos and online pranks, is a member of the dating app generation. But, as a native New Yorker of Yemeni heritage, everyone else in his family has had an arranged marriage. Now, aged 25, Adam finds out if it’s time to wave goodbye to the lure of physical attraction and short-term excitement, and open the door to logic by having an arranged marriage himself.

    I think what the video's trying to say is that people often find their "loved ones" based on desires, having fun together. But a marriage requires job compatibility, value compatibility, lifestyle compatibility, and how eager you are to forgive and compromise. It is a mixture of love and responsibility. Couples need to get real and consider what it will be like to live with a person for the rest of their lives, going through hardships and illnesses together, recovering from fights, making big decisions together... all that could be easier if you are assigned to a stranger and you could be objective and rational, like working at the office. Instead, with someone we love, we often become a child, expecting the other half to take care of us emotionally like our mothers, which is harmful and toxic. so, in order for us folks that want to select our partner, a lesson would be that we need to be more pragmatic and rational in times of a relationship, and expect to give more and take less.

    • @marvinschenker2860
      @marvinschenker2860 3 роки тому +13

      well beeing rational is not allways the cure. Who do you trust more a beloved friend you naturally synergize with or a coworker you where logically assined to?
      Trust is crutial for a fulfilling relationship.
      And people who know they soon die usually regret not having spent more time with their loved ones and not with coworkers.
      People who dont feel sexual or emotional desire towards their sexual partner(wife/ husband) obviously desire to have sex with someone else who they truely desire. Not having a fulfilling sexual life can bring any marriage to the edge.
      If you force your self to make compromises in order to fit in with someone else you will get resentful which leads to inefficiency, emotional blockages, less synergy or even subconsiously caused acts of revenge which may spiral into hurtful cycles. Beeing authentic and doing what you truely want is much more attractive.

And thats what make a stable longlasting relationship so hard: it requires the two of the people to not only physically attracted to each other, but also committed to be faithful, while having the need to cooperate well to handle a lot of challenges in life, e.g. raising child, paying rents, making major life decisions etc. In order to make it work. It is like finding a good friend , a good co-worker, and also an attractive sexual partner in the same person

    I think that “love marriage” gets a bad rep. It was never about sex, “beauty”, or children. It was about having the freedom to meet someone and see if you could like them enough to spend the rest of your life with them. To see if they were appropriate for you. Share the same values.

      I'm a Muslim and even I agree with this. I have seen lots of times where people in those cultures stay married unhappily just because divorce is so frowned upon. If a person is even divorced, it is as though they are looked at in a bad way.

      @maleekaalbarran7671 4 роки тому +6

      @Albina T But since when do you know who is logically the right one for you? Nobody knows that until they have been together a while And figure out, "Oh this is the perfect one for me." Sometimes things work out splendidly and other times it doesn't. It is all a game of chance with love and otherwise. So, to say you can just logically choose the right spouse.... That's not logical. But not trying to argue. So, don't take it as that. I'm just saying.

    • @maleekaalbarran7671
      @maleekaalbarran7671 4 роки тому +4

      @Albina T I actually studied psychology and I agree. Love isn't enough. There needs to be communication, cooperation and compromise between both parties. However, that is why even choosing an arranged marriage doesn't mean you will be happy. From my personal experience, most people I've seen with arranged marriages end up just unhappy, but don't want to divorce simply because of the stigma in their culture about people who divorce. So they remain in an unhappy marriage. Usually when it is a love marriage, the same can happen, though. A person can remain married just for the sake of loving that person. Therefore, not getting a divorce, but being very unhappy. That's why I said earlier ...either way it goes, you aren't guaranteed to be happy.

    @HugDealer 5 років тому +2

    I think at the base of a working marriage (arranged or not) there is the concept of non-disposability. I think arranged marriages have this concept hard-wired in them because they only happen in conservative societies, highly judgmental of divorce. The more disposable the bond is, the less each person invests in the other, and things will then fall apart easily as problems in the couple arise and each person thinks "why bother? there's plenty of other fish in the sea". So the more open a society is (accepting of all sorts of relationship variations, divorce, hooking up, dating apps etc) the more each person is disposable as a partner, unless there is deep awareness. So my opinion is that for arranged marriages, correlation (with stability and higher long run satisfaction) does not mean causation.

    It's very difficult to judge how successful the marriages of other cultures may be as people in other cultures may not be free to leave those marriages. Some are based on the idea that a woman's preferences aren't as important as a man's. In some cultures, the new bride becomes a Cinderella figure to be used ruthlessly by her in laws. In some cases, the marriage may work well. It's not helpful to idealise another culture or to denigrate it.

    What people in those marriages don't tell you is how the people in the marriage are sometimes unhappy, and live so for years! Also, the amount of family interferences as well! I'm glad I can choose, some of these people hide too much of themselves, and there is a discovery, a very nasty discovery of who they really are! If some people knew how many arranged marriage people cheat and fall in love with someone outside of their so called "perfect" marriage. Something to think about, as growing to love someone does not work all the time.

    When choosing a long-term partner, we should base our decision on both reason and feelings ideally. If we can learn to do that, we would be our best friend. I think if we learn to love ourselves most and base our decision on self-love first, then this would guide us in the right choice of someone who is good for us. But you still need time to really know a person, I would say at least a year. Also, we have to be preapred and accept that romantic feelings don't last and with time they will be replaced by a deeper kind of love, a companionship, which is a natural and healthy step of developing a relationship (and not end it after a few years thinking we have fallen out of love when the butterflies are gone).

      It’s a really simple and probably rational philosophy, however let’s be honest us Human beings are lustful creatures filled with desires as well as temptations so it’s really inevitable that for most it plays a pivotal role in looking for a partner. However, with that being said looks shouldn’t be the only factor we look for in a partner for sure, a key significant factor should definitely be someone’s personality, attitude, emotional intelligence, open mindedness, and overall how compatible they are with you. So in essence look for the best of both worlds, don’t sacrifice bad character, and personality for great looks!!!

You both end up getting what you want. Then all of a sudden you are both happy. Go figure 😂

    I think marriages based on practicality/ arranged marriages can potentially be good idea - assuming the two partners have equal power in the relationship.
    However I always find it annoying when you boast the « successfulness » of arranged marriages throughout the ages.
    These marriages for hundreds of years have been firmly based in patriarchy - the women didn’t have much of a say through the marriage and if they left the marriage they would have been destitute. The men often had many mistresses so that’s why they were happy; however if the women was discovered having an affair that would be a big problem for her. This model of marriage that was so « successful » represents a big power imbalance.
    Of course these marriages of power imbalance still exist today, and I don’t agree with them.

    In Europe and Japan, when arranged marriages amongst the elite were the norm, there were also higher rates and tolerance of emotional affairs, as it seems they were basically expected for satisfying peoples emotional desires. Perhaps a better a conclusion to draw is that people should think logically about what they want/need in a marriage to be happily married, and communicate/negotiate these with a relationship partner before a relationship gets too serious.

My Hmong aunt along with her family forced her and herself to marry my uncle from my dad’s side and he now lets her control him, she works at a hospital and also what I know too is that she verbally abused my mom when she was pregnant with my older brother (severely autistic and now in his 20s) and my grandmother before she passed of her diabetic complication 13 years ago. She even took out an insurance policy illegally on my other uncle before he passed couple of years ago of a murder incident.

    Not surprising arranged marriages are more successful; when you don't work hard to get something, you're more likely to be satisfied with whatever. Like being invited to a fancy dinner, if you're not paying, you're less bothered about being 100% satisfied with the meal. It's when you're paying that you start to nitpick, "was it really worth it?" etc. When you work hard to find a mate and voluntarily choose them over anybody else as a life partner, you always question your judgment. "Did I make the right decision?", "what was I thinking?", "nobody forced me into this", etc. and you begin to think of others who could potentially be so much better for you. How it was your stupidity that got you into this mess. An arranged marriage lasts longer and is more satisfying because it was obtained for free. No wasted effort, no wasted money, no wasted thoughts, no wasted time.

    My immediate thought after watching this is, why not both?
    see If you have a best friend that you get along with, who shares the same values and world views and economical dreams, why don't you come together under marriage? you don't necessarily have sex or intimate feelings. Just be partners that support each other emotionally and economically- marriage is a contract that you promise to keep since it's based on this thought out, stable reasoning and not fleeting emotions, it doesn't get broken if someone loses feelings, a dead bedroom or a fling.... think about it- friends and acquaintances often last longer because the personality traits you like about them don't change. You simply have a good time, you can fight and disagree with your friends but don't need to check in to see if you like them any less after. You don't have feelings for these people, you're their friend because you have a good time. If you're laughing together next week it's okay since this little vault of emotions isn't being affected.
    if you are in love, however, fighting too much means that you eventually break up. It doesn't matter if you're okay a week later. Each little argument tears at the romance between you till its completely torn and you leave since that's the only reason you were married. compatibility and love are not the same, love is emotions, therefore love is inherently unstable since emotions are as well.
    idk
    on the other side, you're free to get a significant other that you love, the one you actually have feelings for. The idea of a relationship can change. We don't have to keep dating if we don't feel happy RIGHT NOW. our feelings are in the center. we're not extrapolating and thinking about whether or not this is someone we could marry, someone that can provide for us financially, don't need to pick and choose a partner based on rationality: that person support blanks and is blank so i shouldn't go for them since its more likely that we will break up. This doesn't matter, you just want passion and love in its purest form - the moment it's gone you leave. You don't keep wasting your time on couple therapy because "we've know each other for so long. lets keep it going". The only relationships based purely on love are the ones where both partners feelings always are

I've seen loved marriages not work out, I've also seen arrange marriages not work out too, its a messed up world we live in. but then there's people like me who's never got married and can't find anyone who perhaps won't ever get married sad world we live in, maybe this is Allah's plan and test for me, who know's only Allah. it's just messed up in the Muslim community as they don't like or want a girl after a certain age so it's messed up and yes this makes my life so hard that i feel to give up at times..... But i'm Muslim that's what keep's me going. back to regarding to Adam going for arrange marriage or not i guess it's a risk, same way it's a risk if you find someone and fall in love, so i'm 50/50.

      arranged married is basically a lottery it's stupid, you basically let your parents choose a random person for you, but you should live your own life, they already had theirs. your adult not a child to let your parents choose, go date different people.
      The reason why ur still single because your a high class girl with high standarts. sometimes you gotta go for a less attractive men. many men wants date female they get apprached a lot but they always reject the nice guys, and go for the badboys.
      or you must be 30+ older. men do not want to date old womens they like young females.
      cuz girls wanne marry fast have children etc, they age faster and lose their beaty. men only want fo have sex but not a real relationship.
      now focus on your own life, some people are not ment to marry, if u had married, ur child or husband could die at the age 40-50. you see thats life.

    I can see their point of view, but I think this very much depends on what one wants out of marriage. If you're looking it in old-fahioned terms as not much more than a contractual arrangement, these kind of marriages can work out well. I think nowadays, in western nations, that is not the type of marriage people want anymore. The divorce rate wouldn't be so high if people were happy with logical arrangements. Because once the marriage turns into a mostly contractual arrangement, people here get divorced. There are also a lot of arranged marriages that do not turn out happy. But they couple will not divorce due to cultural shame. I think a healthy mix of both would be a great thing.

    There is a difference between an arranged marriage and a forced marriage.

It takes time to find someone where both are happy with the arrangement but it is definitely worth it when it's done right.

You continue seeing each other and going on dates, getting to know each other for about a year atleast before taking the next step of marrying. Every culture and community is different however, for some the getting to know part does not take as long. Arranged marriages are not what they used to be 70 Years ago, with technology you can talk to each other alot more, meet up etc

    In my opinion find a decent girl with same morals as you such as want to have kids, practice same religion, if they pray, observe if she will be a good mother, how she treats people around her and in her community. Also have some things in common. I feel that u should get to know a girl a bit because sometimes parents are in a rush to get their son or daughter married and can lie about their qualities. Someone tried to arrange me with a guy who doesn’t pray his 5 prayers! And we have nothing in common. You have to be careful and observe the person you will marry and ask them
    Questions to make sure your in the same page!

    25! Run like fcuk. A friend of mine is stuck in an arranged marriage, they both have to fake the happiness. A divorce is really almost impossible, so much drama.

    "Should Adam marry someone he doesn't love but with whom he might a have a great life long friendship"- I mean this question can't also not been seen in connection with an arranged marriage. What is an arranged marriage, the family is searching for a right Partner for one, they meet each other and then decide if they want to marry or not. There ist not really time to see if there can even evolve a great friendship. This also needs time.
    I think to marry the best friend but to whom you also feel physically attracted is the best thing that can happen to you. But this needs time and shouldn't be forced. And if your parents play the matchmaker so what, it just shouldn't be under pressure and a no has to be allowed!

    I think the problem with non arranged marriages, is that they start with the pressure of hype, which sets up the huge likelihood of disillusionment. With an arranged marriage, you start with almost nothing. As such one may start with a sceptical, even fearful attitude toward the whole thing, and so anything that happens that is better than bad, will shift your attitude positively, making you feel more, rather than less connected. Both forms of course have their own other pros and cons and neither should be taken lightly!

    I was shocked after hearing that arranged marriage brings more satisfaction. In my view, maybe, they consider each other as FRIENDS, as a PARTNER OF THEIR LIVES rather than LOVERS. Consequently, they tend to be more distant but yet so close together. In that way days after days, they will form an attachment as same as falling in love. It reminds me about a famous sentence in my country: "Duyên đôi lứa cũng là duyên bạn bầy" (which can be translate into "Love may be seen as friendship" :)))))))))))
    P/s: sorry for my bad English. If there 's any mistake, could you point out for me?
