Just go living with someone you don't know? Have sex with some stranger. I don't know about that. Imagine THAT first night!

They've been married for quite some time and have a child together. For me, I never saw the point of marriage. Let alone marrying someone you didn't know. It isn't my culture but I cannot look at someone else's situation and say "What are you thinking?" Happy for them if it works for them. <em>Urban Thought's last blog post..</em><a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UrbanObservation/~3/289906174/' rel="nofollow">Wordless Wednesday: Apple Date</a> There is a guy on my job who had his marriage arranged.

They even post ads in the paper to find themselves a partner. I guess, from our perspective, we couldn't imagine ourselves finding our husbands (or wives) in that way. But if we were brought up in a culture such as theirs then we probably wouldn't even bat an eyelash! :grin: <em>CQ's last blog post..</em><a href='http://lbquijano.blogspot.com/2008/05/disco-fever.html' rel="nofollow">Disco Fever</a> I’ve worked with so many Indian colleagues and it never fails to surprise me at how quickly they can find husbands (my colleagues are mostly female Indian nationals) after they go home for their annual leave.
