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.

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.
