Find love in an arranged marriage
Married to somebody you barely know? Love can grow in an arranged marriage, all you have to do is give it a chance.
Spend more time with him
Spend time with him like you'd do with a new boyfriend. Get to know him better, make friends with him and find out more about what he likes and what he doesn't. We bet you'll be charmed (if you aren't already) with his personality, which was the whole reason why you said yes in the first place, right? Falling in love will be easy.
Talk to his friends
Ask his friends what he was like when he was growing up. You'll enjoy hearing them talk about pranks he played in school, silly/funny incidents he can't stop laughing about and other school/college skirmishes. The seemingly silly incidents can also give you insights into his personality which will certainly make you want to know him more and get even closer. What's more, he'll love that you're taking an interest in him too!
Explore shared interests
It could be something like solving crossword puzzles together, or cooking or taking up a joint project like redesigning your living space togther. Finding common ground in an arranged marriage will draw you much closer to him.
Understand him
Probe deeper into him as a person, beyond his interests and try understanding what makes him happier, what he would like to be a few years down the line, what he feels strongly about… The more you find these in tune with your own beliefs and inner self, the more deeply you two will bond. Isn't love all about that, gal?
Make an effort
If you'd married your sweet heart, you'd know everything there was to know about him. But since you don't, think of the relationship as a clean slate where you start from scratch - there will be surprises at every turn. A little effort is all it takes to consciously make things work out, give in a little, meet him midway and find enough reasons to enjoy your marriage everyday, together.
In the end, tt really doesn't matter how you meet!
