One must think that having them is so much better than the alternative... though it's easy to forget sometimes. ^^; As for marriage, or any other life path for that matter, it takes so much more than 'arrangement'. Heh... it took forever for my mother to accept that I might go out with someone she hadn't thoroughly investigated first. Pressure from society to parents to people like us... it skews the whole process unless one or more people involved have the backbone to tell society to go hang if necessary, because these things happen in their own time and in their own way, if they are to be handled for the best. */rant*
