Marry a cousin to keep money in the family; marry this one because it'll solidify dad's position in the army or in business. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I wish that I could have arranged marriages for both of my sons. They'd probably be happier and I'd be happier too. Maybe I'd even have some grandchildren.fred chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812811681270634366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058711831772256734.post-48304085050145340122008-08-05T17:14:00.000-07:002008-08-05T17:14:00.000-07:00Fred, in your six decades of being alive are you a...Fred, in your six decades of being alive are you are still invested in the standard response that anyone who is objective about or who attempts to look dispassionately at what has been termed Western love is just a "cynic"? <BR/>Millions of people in the world have their marriages arranged; love has nothing to do with it.

Here's my summary:<BR/>Opposites don't attract, similars do. There is a Big Sort involved. Proximity counts big time. You love the one you're near. <BR/>Like loves Like.
