yep.. some how they seem to work perfectly.. it is the love marriages that seems to be ending in gutters here.. May be due to the reason that most families here are joint families.. Usually after the marriage is fixed there is a year of time or sometin.. Time for people to get to know each other i guess.. but some communities it is just a week or so... Some how i feel that the concept of aranged marriage has to change..
