For most Americans, first comes love, and then comes marriage. But for some, it's the opposite. Is arranged marriage archaic and loveless, or is it a rational approach to life-long commitment? We explore this ancient approach to love in modern America. (Original Air Date: July 17, 2012) Watch more of Our America with Lisa Ling on the WatchOWN app. For more information visit www.oprah.com/app/our-america-with-lisa-ling.html

    Marriage is hard work regardless of how two people come together. Best wishes to all couples.
  • @blue8710
    The conclusion of the documentary: 'divorce is discouraged '. It's not that these relationships last longer it's just that divorce is not part of the equation in case they don't work.
  • @gkhwpgmom
    This was first broadcast several years ago—-would love an update in the couples.
  • @kiwidreams3
    The marriages last as the wife is too afraid to leave, because to leave her husband would mean to disgrace her family. Are these people truly happy
  • @rubychew6535
    Sometimes parents can make a mistake in choosing.
  • @TaylorLee
    Akhbar was very sweet. He knows that his family will never replace Nadia’s, but he will always try to be there for her when she’s misses them ❤
  • @NiniEJ
    The way that the dating scene is these days, I don’t have much negative to say about this. I just hope these women are truly happy and that they get to keep a sense of self, individuality and personality. I don’t believe in losing who you are, even in a marriage.
  • @rosegarza4887
    Do you have an update on where these couples are now? Everyone be safe out there and I really did enjoy the documentary. Thank you again.❤❤
  • @tvfan14
    I would agree that there is no love without commitment.
  • @user-marshalcp
    I love this documentary about arranged marriages from three different couples, three different religions and three different cultures and I hope all the marriages work out.
  • @johnthorpe1349
    I lov seeing 👀 how different religions do it there customs 😮❤MIGWECH from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
  • The expectations for the wives would be too great for me to deal with. I'm married but not like this
  • @amyomeara2515
    I moved 1200 mi to live in my husbands house in 2016 and I cry seeing Nadia miss her parents and brother. I miss my parents and siblings so much 😢
  • @user-mv2nf5ez4e
    I have so much respect for u Lisa, your shows are so deep and different. I really appreciate your efforts.
  • There's nothing holy for a man to have a proxy engagement with his daughter 🤢 it's SOOO crepy, it's really beyond words..
  • @KnowWhat
    I’m sorry….maybe it’s just me but Audra looks like she’s trapped! Audra doesn’t seem happy. Her husband only talks about what Audra can do for him to make him happy
