So marriage doesn’t benefit men, yet its men who are advocating for forced arranged marriages? lol. Obviously y’all see benefits for men. A lot of men on here seem to love the idea of having a good traditional woman who would support him and the home and the kids. So of course these marriages would have benefit to men, especially those struggling with woman. It’s a guaranteed wife and p*ssy lol.
Anyway, I think arranged marriage is fine if that’s what that particular family wants to do. There is nothing stopping black fathers from making this a requirement for their daughters and sons. Just let the kids know when they’re young and keep reinforcing it so that by the time they’re older they already know that it’s how marriage is done for the family.
But this is obviously not realistic for the overall/entire black community. There are too many black fathers not in the homes to support this—so who would arrange the marriages for all the single parent homes? Our marriage rate is also 30%, so how are fathers who are not even married themselves, and obviously don’t value marriage, going to arrange marriages for their children?
You also have to consider that not everyone wants to get married. Some don’t even want children or families. Y’all can’t force them to marry lol.
Considering that women initiate most divorces already and that’s to the men they actually chose to marry, how long we given these marriages before the woman runs to court and files because she’s miserable with him?
I think if y’all want to make this a priority for your own kids that’s cool—and y’all can do it. But as far as wanting others to do it, for all the reasons I listed above and more, its not realistic and won’t ever happen.
