Compare/ Contrast Essay

My essay explores the differences and similarities between arranged and free choice marriages. Although many Americans and those of western society view arranged marriage as being cruel and immoral for those involved, research has shown that most arranged marriages last longer, benefit both parties involved, and are generally more successful than free-choice marriages. I also explained how big an obstacle in-laws can be in a free choice marriage, but in arranged marriages, family support from both sides already exists.  I also contrasted the divorce rates among the two marriage types and talked about how both marriage types report high levels of satisfaction, commitment, and passionate companion love.

  2. There's so much you could talk about your topic! Did you think about talking about the history of arranged marriages and how they originated?

  3. I think you choose a good topic, I was shocked that arranged marriges last longer than choice marriges, to me it seems like it would be the other way around.

  4. I love this topic idea. I think it would make a very interesting paper. I agree with Tyler. Many people, like myself, have no idea about the history of the arranged marriage.
