I have a coworker who had an arranged marriage, and apparently they work pretty well!

Based on a sample size of one person you know from work and what they told you?

More like 3, and stats they've claimed but that I haven't verified.

Sorry didn’t mean to sound like such a dick just woke up when I asked that!

That’s cool though, I haven’t seen much about that, I’ll check into it some time

There is probably something to be said about people that would go through with it and their mindset to growing with each other?

Yup. What they basically said is that their parents do a good job of finding a good match, and both parties try to make it work. That last part is the biggest component of a successful marriage IMO, most problems can be resolved if both parties are interested in resolving them and willing to sacrifice for the other.

I still very much don't like the system, but it's not as bad as I thought it was.
