Whereas, in love marriages, expectations are always high because they have known each other from the starting and those expectations can kill your relationship.

If expectations are low, then they are the higher chances to build that relationship on trust because you both will trust each other on decisions and in love marriages, you always want decisions to be mutual and they can never be. Everyone has their own opinions and it's important to understand them and respect them.

If there is any one point missing from the above points, then it is very difficult to run that relationship. Be it arranged or love, both needs time and space because every relationship has its own pace.
