Preferably an arranged marriage.
The whole process of dating, falling in love and getting married produces unrealistic expectations, does not prepare the couple for living together, idealises the time BEFORE marriage when the couple was free from such burdens as work and child commitments and there was 'passion', and its not really efficient.
All these factors combine to make love marriages LESS successful than arranged marriages, becuase the latter address the practicalities of marriage, while the former works on the 'love conquers all' schtick.
