5 Reasons Why You Must Choose Your Own Life Partner
4. You know yourself best
You know exactly the kind of partner you’d be happy with, and only you know what you want from your marriage. Nobody else will be able to guess that for you. If you are not dating anyone and plan to get married, then the maximum that your friends and well-wishers will be able to do is to present options to you, but the final say must be yours. That’s because only you will know the kind of compatibility you have with a person, and whether or not you’ll be able to deal with him for the rest of your life.
5. The willingness to adjust
Remember how they say that marriages require sacrifices and compromises from both partners to make them work? Well, that’s absolutely true. You have to let go of certain expectations, as well as inhibitions in order to make a marriage work. But the whole idea of adjusting to a person seems much more workable when you’ve chosen that person on your own. You feel much more willing to make changes in yourself and in your life for that person, rather than a situation where someone else has arranged the marriage for you and you don’t feel like making any adjustments whatsoever. The whole mechanics and functioning of your marriage becomes easier when you’ve chosen the partner on your own.
Hopefully, this will help you to put into words all that’s been going on in your head about choosing a life partner on your own. This is, of course, not to say that all arranged marriages are bad. Some arranged marriages work out really well. However, for someone who is too scared to take the risk, these could be some of the reasons to convince their parents as to why they should be finding their partners on their own.
