I hate match - making by my parents
Tags: arrangement, marriage
Across the centuries, many people got no choice, but listen to their parents hand-picked a marriage for them. As parents, I believe that they want their children to have a lovely family, and to have a great family after all. But is it that a rightful thing to do to arrange a marriage for your own children? Or would it be a wrong decision to make? Because with a good intention, they might ruin their children’s whole life.
My parents, on several attempt to arrange a girl for me to meet. I am totally detesting this idea, because I don’t need them to match making for me. Although I haven’t met a significant someone of my life so far, that doesn’t mean I won’t. I am also doing my best in search of soul mate, and the princess of my dream.
Although my parents are trying to convince me about meeting this particular girl, how great she is, and how smart she is. But they just won’t understand the concept of love, and won’t understand what is best for their child. I still want to make my own decision, and I still want me to be happy for the rest of my life.
Nonetheless, my wife must be my choice. I have to deal with her for the rest of my life, and I have to love her in order to marry her. I hope that my parents would understand this idea and concept, and respect me on my own decision.

You need to watch my documentary “Match & Marry” about matchmaking and marriage in the Orthodox Jewish community. It’s entertaining and educational. You will learn a few pointers about the matchmaking process and dating. Log on to http://www.matchandmarry.com to view a trailer and to order a copy of the DVD.
