in some cultures it is very common, my mum and dad had an arranged marriage, they had never met each other before the wedding day, and then when they got married my dad went back to england because he had a job there, and my mum had to stay in India for a few months while the VISA was sorted out, so they were married but had only seen each other once.
There lies the advantage in arranged marriages, because when you love someone it is not based on that initial attraction you had or that romantic time you had together - it's because you make the choice to love them. Sure, it may be a little more difficult, but when these two people love each other, you know it's real because they WORKED for it. all the same, I'd rather choose my wife
Anyone can love during the smooth times - it's when things get rough that true love shows itself.
