Nowadays, young people always talk about waiting for true love and would rather be single than settle for less. However, they do not truly understand the meaning of "men should marry when they grow up, and women should marry when they grow up." In the past, marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers. Whether there was romance or not before marriage, couples could still live harmoniously and happily after marriage. Why? Aren't our grandparents' generations mostly married through arranged marriages or child betrothals? Why were they so happy? You can first get to know each other, then get married, and then fall in love. Feelings can be gradually cultivated. What is true love? A happy married life is true love and real happiness!
In life, we always miss familiar strangers one by one. After getting hurt, we continue to love. There are only two possible outcomes after falling in love: being together or parting ways. After separation, we keep searching for so-called true love. People have many sides; we behave differently in front of different people. In front of our parents, we are the most genuine version of ourselves. They say that people in love are all fools, but how many people in love can truly see through their partners? Therefore, there are great risks involved in the pursuit of happiness. This is where the valuable experience of the older generation comes into play. Our parents and grandparents have lived a large part of their lives, and as they often say, "I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice" and "If you don't listen to the elders' advice, you'll suffer sooner or later." Many young people sneer at the concept of "arranged marriage" and even fear it. What's wrong with marriages arranged by parents?
The ancients invented the word "marriage," while modern people invented the word "divorce." Why do many post-80s couples rush into marriage and quickly divorce? Why has the divorce rate increased significantly? Isn't it free love? Haven't they all found happiness in the next station of life? Then why does this situation of divorce occur? The reason is simple. People in love tend to show off too much in front of their partners, packaging themselves as perfect lovers. However, real married life reveals their true colors. Daily chores like firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea replace the romantic era of dating. Often, people cannot tolerate certain habits or lifestyles of their partners, leading to separation. On the other hand, people introduced by parents are usually well-known and understood by the older generation. After thorough communication with their children, formal meetings are arranged. This is another significant advantage of "arranged marriage" - eliminating unfavorable factors in marriage.
Furthermore, going on a blind date does not mean you have to get married or start a relationship with the person you meet. The ultimate decision-making power still lies in your own hands. Blind dates can be seen as a good way to make friends. In your single life, you can meet people of similar age and conditions through blind dates. Nowadays, blind date trends are prevalent on various websites and TV stations, and many people actively participate. Isn't there a saying that "more friends mean more opportunities"? Even if you don't feel attracted to the person you meet, you can still consider them as a friend. Using blind dates as a way to make friends is also a good choice.
In conclusion, according to the above points, the author believes that blind dates are safer and more reliable than waiting for happiness in the next station. What prince charming or lucky princess?
