Arranged Marriage Problems: Why Parents’ Choices Can Fail You

Arranged marriage problems can silently shape your life in ways you never expected. This video uncovers why blind trust in parents’ choices can lead to feeling trapped and unfulfilled. Join us as we explore real stories, like Sarah’s, who was handed a folder of potential husbands, and Mike’s, who relied on dating apps—both outsourcing their biggest life decision. Backed by research, including a 2013 Journal of Marriage and Family study showing no happiness gap between arranged and chosen marriages, and a 2021 study revealing those in arranged setups feel twice as likely to be trapped, we dive into why agency matters. Learn how to reclaim your relationship choices with practical steps to prioritize your emotional needs.
