Navigating Arranged Marriages

At 28 years old, I stand at the intersection of tradition and personal choice. My heart carries the weight of past relationships—each one a lesson etched into my soul. Despite the scars, I remain hopeful, seeking a connection that transcends mere compatibility.

Yet, when my parents present potential matches, fear grips me. Will these strangers understand my quirks, share my dreams? Or am I merely following a script written by tradition? Confidence eludes me; uncertainty looms.

Perhaps amidst the profiles lies someone who defies convention—a partner who dances with me on uncharted terrain. Love, after all, isn't a checklist; it's an improvisation, a melody composed in the quiet corners of our hearts. 🌟❤️

True. Don't marry until you find the right one. And even if you find the right one, try to live with them before marrying

It's a very genuine fear. I also think of it. Sometimes I think "I would have never had these thoughts if I would have never been in any past relationship". Then the counter thought is " Then I would have got to know what I like and dislike after marriage - which is wrong".

At the end of the day, how can we be sure if we gonna marry the right one?? Who would love us and actually we would also fall in love with love with that person deeply.
