Like un-arranged marriages some work some don't work. It would be interesting to know the statistics though. I don't know if it is true but I once read that those in arranged marriages – or who have had their partner chosen for them by a parent or matchmaker – tend to feel more in love as time grows, whereas those in regular marriages feel less in love over time. That within ten years, the connection felt by those in arranged marriages is said to be around twice as strong. That those who marry for love, on the other hand, tend to be blinded by passion and so overlook these crucial details.

However, I don't remember who wrote it, for all I know it was written by a matchmaker. Seems to work in India though.
