You know more than 3/4 world do not have arranged marriage system but they are also happily married.
Having expectations is not a hall mark of a love marriage.Having expectations is a human trait that rears its ugly head when we have motives.
I still say marriage is a marriage and arranged or love makes no differences.
In our Purans most marriages are based on Love that too at 1st sight.What is important in a marriage is Love and that can come from both arranged and love marriages.
Anyway even in arranged marriages there is surely some element of attraction.Thats also some form of "lovvu" isnt it?
Only when we feel that "Kickku" in our heart we will consent to the mappilai/ponnu isnt it?
I only felt that "Kickku" when my hubby came to view me.All other guys I didnt feel anything so I said no to all of them and said yes only to my husband.
So even in arranged marriage there is still Love at first sight.
hi renu,
the real " kickku" is in romantic love before marriage....generally in love.....in arranged marriage" kickku" is much less when compared
to love marriage...becoz LOVE IS BLIND...SO KICKKU IS BLIND TOO....but every கிக்கு has side affects,,,,,

Renu,
I agree there is love at first sight in arranged marriages too. I myself have experience in this regard. When my Dad referred to me the profiles of about 5-6 girls, I chose one. We went and saw that girl and arranged to fix the marriage. The next week we had our engagement and we are now happily married. Just before girl-seeing, my father proposed two (including my then would-be wife). I was "evaluating" both the proposals and the balance was tilting towards the other girl. But then I sai, "No, Dad. I don't want to miss ....(my wife)" and the rest is history.
Neither did I belittle Love Marriage. As I mentioned, one tries to project a fair image to another and it is over a period of time. There is romance (or "kikku" as you say) and it perhaps blinds one to the faults of another. After marriage, the "noise of brushing the teeth" starts the first irritation. In arranged marriage, you do not know about the other person. So, the same noise would still be irritating but would not come as a shock or disappointment.
I do agree that the whole world is on love marriage but whether they are happy is relative.
Any relationship is good only till one person is a door mat. (It is a saying I read somewhere)
enna pannaradhu, 20 varushathile neraiaya anubavichiruppar ungal wife, so after taking care of you and the children, she must be tired, Why don't you both get away for a week or even a weekend.. just like that.. it might be nice for both of you..
Girls you are going to love this.
..according to religion all power has been given to female....if men want money he has to do laxmi pooja if he wants mind he has to do saraswati pooja & if he wants power he has to do durga pooja.
and I understand your point well.. no matter what anyone says Men do have a very big ego, I think it is cultural and the makeup of their being.. I guess, no matter what we will be the nurturers.. but that is ok... in fact I grew up with my Dad, my uncles doting on me and I understand men better sometimes than I do women.

"My son says that my sambar is even tastier than his wife's"...
You are right, Renu! That 'kickku' is felt when the girl meets the right guy for her. It is NOT enough now a days..................Thats also some form of "lovvu" isnt it?
Only when we feel that "Kickku" in our heart we will consent to the mappilai/ponnu isnt it? ................
Cool, Amala! A down to earth observation!! :spy:... because paying the bills, food etc cannot be done with just lovvu, looku and kikku na. ...
I have my own doubt whether any son will have the 'courage' to say this!! :blabla:
Yes! If and only if!:amen:That is true. But imagine, if a son did say that, wouldn't it be a nice boost to the ego?
Ma'am I would likely to humbly submit that ego is not the exclusive preserve of men. Remember Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher, even J Jayalalitha? Even in earlier times before the presence of women in the corporate and political world, the ego would take the form of:
"My son says that my sambar is even tastier than his wife's"
or
"My husband thinks I am the prettiest woman in the neighbourhood."
As long as there is aham, there will be ahamkar, male or female.
Cooking in a hotel is difficult and tiresome. Thats why men do better. But I have heard many cook mamas
in SinArach Chennai (they come forward to give their visiting cards (!) to everyone eating lunch / dinner
in wedding parties) say that they eat ONLY after returning from work, 'maami made' home food.... even if
it is 'vaththak kozhambu' and 'chutta appaLam'!
:hungry:
engay nimmadhi engay nimadhi annggay ennak oru idham vendhum.....i think remaining bachelor is cool no women domination appadha
Going to prepare, 'vaththak kozhambu' and 'chutta appaLam'!
:hungry:.danks for the reminder.
By the way, if men thought you don't need woman to tell you what to do.. I guess there will be family no children, no NOTHING.. It is all in the attitude.. how you take anything.. )
