Arrange marriage and family values

How do you feel about it? Till what extent will you go for family satisfaction as well happiness. What are your obligations and responsibilities? Considering you owe them everything; and pretty much your life.

No to arranged marriage. Make your own choice when it comes to that, if you come from a family that's big on tradition..then I can understand going along with "Some" things out of respect. To be married off to some dude and not be granted the freedom to choose your own partner..is nonsense. The idea that you "Owe" your family to that extent is crazy. It's a families job to do for their children anyway. I dislike how some families do this for ridiculous reasons like Honor, lineage, money, appearances, race. Rather it be a man or a woman, the freedom to choose your partner should always be an option. But that's how I feel about that, my parents were big on freedom of choice and whatever path I chose to walk on..is my own as well as the consequences that come with it. But I understand that not all families operate like that. I'm trying to picture my sisters being married off and the imagery isn't looking to good lol. The only expectation/obligation that's been set for me is to go out and make something out of myself. Whatever I choose to define that as..is for me alone.

I share the same thoughts as @Shadower, though I could not put them together, and he said it perfectly. You are your own person, and you are free to follow the path you want to take not one that someone has set (or made) for you. Make your own choices in life, and don't let anyone make them for you, fall for someone you actually care for, not someone that has been arranged for you. NO ONE should EVER take that Freedom away from you.

Till what extent will you go for family satisfaction as well happiness. What are your obligations and responsibilities? 0 Marriage, wife, someone I'll spend the rest of my life with~ Neither my dad or my mom are going to spent their life with her, I am. also my mom's opinion on my gf are often racist.......lol

As long as it's not something you're forced to take part in if you don't want to then sure. Lot of people have trouble finding someone, and setting people up with other can help a lot with that.

Im 100% not a supporter of arranged marriages, i know that they are custom in certain cultures but in my mind the idea is just ridiculous... I dont really ever feel the need to please my family because i wasnt raised that way (along with the fact that i dislike a large portion of my family aka an entire side) so i dont think i could entirely understand where someone who was going into an arranged marriage for their sake of their family would feel. if that makes any sense.
