Arranged marriages

Hello, everyone! Today, my students and I spoke about arranged marriages and whether or not people could learn to love. An arranged marriage is a situation in which the parents choose the child's partner from when they are young.(usually) The point is that your spouse is chosen by your family.

For me, I couldn't imagine being in an arranged marriage but I have had the opportunity to meet someone who was. I asked her how she felt about it. It was quite interesting because even though she couldn't date or anything since her spouse had already been chosen by her parents, she was alright with that. She told me it took away all the problems people went through while dating and it was convenient. Growing up they exchanged pictures and letters with each other.

What do you guys think? Do you think that after two people live together and have children, even if they didn't love each other at first that maybe after a few years they can "grow" on each other? Do you think its possible for couples in arranged marriages to fall in love with their partner after they've had children and lived together for a while? Or do you think it is possible to learn to love someone. If the partner has a great personality an attraction can be formed after having children and living together for some time. What do you think?
