I think the younger generation in the West seems to be unable to work through problems inherent in a relationship, being brought up the last few decades with a very strong sense of entitlement, which percolates down to relationships as well. In the East, this is still less of a problem, though it is moving in the same direction. Unlike many on the list, who have extreme blinkers on when it comes to arranged marriages, I think they work well, because both the parties come into the marriage knowing that compromise is essential - which is a good basis to start with.
