Marriage

I think that they had arranged marriages back then so that the parents can have their child in a family they feel okay about. Also so that they know their child is in a safe family. The benefits from this would be that the family’s that have known each other for awhile could all be one big family instead of just friends.

The disadvantage would be that the couple getting married has a big chance of not liking each other. Or they just want to be friends. The big problem would be what if he/she is in love with someone else. This leaves a question. Did the parents really care about their children’s own feelings? My opinion about this idea is that it never should have been thought of. Because a lot a kids had parents that didn’t like each other and probably fought a lot. I’m just glad that doesn’t happen here in Utah. If any religion or country says that you have to do that then that just Wrong not just in one way but in many ways. Because these days people can get a divorce. Which then leaves kids in a bad spot.
