Initially, I was skeptical about searching for my soul mate through an app designed to connect families. The idea of initiating an awkward first conversation with someone I might meet only once or twice before committing to a lifelong partnership was daunting. However, I soon discovered that this experience helped me grow into a better person. While some moments were disheartening, they ultimately taught me valuable lessons, and others still make me laugh when I recall them. This led me to ponder whether my friends and family, especially those who embraced arranged marriages, had similarly intriguing stories to share. If these narratives were presented like wise tales, they might alleviate the pressure surrounding arranged marriage for newcomers. One thing is certain: we all have a soul mate we will meet at the right time. In the meantime, as we navigate the complexities of swiping through potential matches, we encounter fascinating characters who, for various reasons, may not be "the one" but still become memorable parts of our journey. This collection features 12 carefully selected stories that aim to inspire readers to approach the arranged marriage process for their own growth and reflection, perhaps even prompting couples who fell in love to consider what they might have missed.
