Outdated?

Personally, I'm OK with my offspring's judgment. However I believe families selecting a child's spouse, as they still do in many cultures, might produce better long-term results in many cases. At the very least the families' approval should weigh heavily in a marriage... or maybe I'm just really old-fashioned :-)

Is someone getting married? I'm curious as to what prompted this...

This post was prompted by another blog post I had read that said many Arab girls still have their spouses chosen for them. The increasing number of failed marriages in this country made me think about the validity of that tradition. Nah, it's nothing personal.

Think about these Mormons in Arizona with multiple wives .
All arranged by the church . They said ( in recent TV program ) they can deny a spouse .

Looks like it works for them .
