**Tl;DR Commitments based on arrangements are more stable than those based on fleeting emotions** - Arranged marriages are more successful than marriages that are based in love according to [recent studies] (https://www.statisticbrain.com/arranged-marriage-statistics/) - The sensation of love can only be defined loosely. Often it may only be physical attraction in disguise. Regardless of how love is defined, at its core, it is solely an emotion, a fleeting feeling. Basing a lifetime commitment on something as unstable as a feeling is bound to result in high rates of failure. Especially when people start to feel a decline in that feeling and try to recapture it in someone else. - Moreover, even amongst marriages that initially are based in love, those that have a higher chance of continual success are those that admit that upon losing the feeling of “initial love”, stayed together and built upon something bigger anyways. Successful marriages are not based on temporary infatuation but on a joint agreement to stay committed to one another and work through obstacles as they appear.

I suspect that the body is just that. A cover for the spirit. I think that in and of itself, the body just is a host of the spirit, and im not sure if the spirit has physical content.

This statement needs to be made more precise otherwise the results are meaningless. I think this was supposed to mean "Aranged marriages are AT LEAST as successful as love marriages" but literally it states that they have the same level of success. This means that those who think arranged marriages are more successful are splitting their votes between "agree" and "disagree' depending on how they understood the statement.

never had much experiences with arranged marriages, so i cant say.

What is "a successful marriage" to begin with? - a long lasting one? - one that produces kids? - one that makes the married parties happy? - one that makes the families happy? - one that maximizes tax collected by the state? - one that confines people to as few sex partners as possible? I find myself quite unable to answer the question because I don't think we agree on what a successful mariage is.
