Bridesmaid dresses can be extremely over-the-top, geared to show the bride at her best and the bridesmaid not so well. When you look for bridesmaid dresses, look for elegant, classic, simple lines that are timeless, fashionable, and still say “special.” These types of dresses never go out of style, which means your bridesmaid can wear the dress again, and that’s something she’ll thank you for.

Remember, they have to buy shoes, jewelry, makeup, and hair styling for the big day, too, so help them out with a budget-conscious bridesmaids dress.

Go Shopping!

Remember, everyone isn’t the same size or height, so take that into consideration when you choose your perfect bridesmaids dress.

Is an Arranged Marriage the Key to a Successful Marriage?

Executive summary about arranged marriages by Rebecca Sebekarranged marriage

In India arranged marriages are still the norm. Interestingly enough, the divorce rate is 3% to 7%. Unlike the United States of America which has a divorce rate of 50%. Biological Anthropologist Helen Fisher has researched this subject for numerous years. She conducted research with the help of her colleagues Arthur Aron and Lucy Brown.

Lovers were put into an MRI machine. According to Fisher, “love is not an emotion but a mating device.” The ventral tegmental produces dopamine (stimulant) and sends it to the brain’s reward centers. These are centers for wanting, craving, motivation, focused attention and ecstasy.

According to the study conducted by Fisher, people fall into four categories: explorer, builder, negotiator, and director. People who were “matched” with their so-called “perfect mate did not have a long lasting relationship. The flip side to this study is arranged marriages which are stilled practiced in Indian cultures today. Ads are placed daily in many Indian newspapers by families who are looking for a husband for their daughter and a wife for their son.

One couple showcased in the 20/20 special married via an arranged marriage. The man was tired the “American” dating scene and contacted his family in New Dehli, India to find him a wife. Success! India’s divorce rate is lower than the United States of America. Matrimonial classifieds can be found throughout India. There is something to be said of arranged marriages, honesty. Americans in particular can learn from the Indian culture. People would save a lot of time, money, and tears.

Ask some questions about the man or woman.

Arranged Marriages – Are They For Real?

Executive summary about arranged marriages by Amanda Jane

The custom of arranging marriages is common in Asia particularly among Indians and Muslims.

India

This tradition of arranging marriages is so prevalent in India that at least 95 percent of Indian marriages are said to have been arranged. While the dowry system has been prohibited in India, it is still a considerable factor in arranged marriages.

Elizabethan era

Arranged marriages were the norm during the Elizabethan era considering that feminism has not yet been born and women were very subservient to their parents and their men. Women during that time agreed to whatever marriage plans their parents have for them. Among the most common reasons for arranged marriages during this era are money and social status.

Arranged marriages are still popular among Muslims in the Philippines and in other countries. A Muslim man can choose his bride provided he (including his family) can raise the bride-wealth. Arranged marriages have never gained traction in America because of the people’s liberality and penchant for freedom, including the freedom to choose one’s bride or groom.
