In What Arranged Marriages Taught Me About Love, Jen Fulwiler uses two different terms – arranged marriages, and arranged courtships. I’m not sure if they are completely interchangeable, but I did find the article thought provoking to the extent that it describes a way of involving families in the screening process for choosing a spouse, as well as an alternate paradigm of marriage and romantic love that, while foreign to the American way of doing things, obviously has a pretty good track record in other cultures. It gives me something to ponder and might provide some enlightening after-dinner conversation with my three teenage daughters.
