Most Americans find the idea of arranged (33) difficult to understand or accept. They believe that two people should marry for love, after a period of dating and courtship. During that period, the prospective marriage partners are supposed to (34) enough about each other to decide (35) or not they will be able to build a successful marriage.

Friends have such great influence; their approval of a dating or mating partner is very (39).
Families also exert open and subtle (40) on their children to influence their (41) of marriage partners. Parents often arrange dates for their own children.

Despite what we see in the movies, the son of a bank president (49) marries or even meets a coal miner’s daughter. Americans may not accept or understand arranged marriages, (50) marriages in the United States are arranged nevertheless.
