		<description>Just read Preeti's blog and she has a very similar post like yours. (Trying to leave a similar comment at both the places). Good that you seniors are sharing your wisdom with the freshers and those who are about to join :)

		<description>It is a long story. We did not meet in traditional ways...but it took me about 8 months to arrive at the decision. I made a list of qualities I wanted and split them as desirable and absolute. 

It has worked great (touchwood)</description>

		<description>I agree with the "Opposites Attract" bit you said.. it can be fun at the beginning.. like when you try out something new.. but eventually you want comfort and familiarity.

I'm sure all my friends who went thru arranged marriages would love to reminisce reading this article.</description>

		<description>Absolutely, Suchi. But the good thing about 'differences' is that they don't need to be nurtured, they just happen to exist and have a nagging way of not going away or coming in new forms. So, that one, we really don't have to work on. 

And as far as basic principles go, note that though you might have had similar notions at one point in your life, people change, develop and thus grow in and out of these notions. So, noticing the similarities, and focusing on them is an ongoing process too, right?

La Vida Loca, tell us more, if you can...what was the decision making process like, how is working out?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;In the long run you need common interests, common things to talk about. &lt;/i&gt;
I think you need a *mix* of common interests and differences.

There definitely needs to be agreement on the principles by which you live. For example, similar notions about honesty, morality, right vs. wrong etc. 

Differences in other matters (even money matters, for example) can help both partners grow as individuals--which I think is a sign of a great relationship. It also keeps things interesting.</description>
