Another answered prayer! An Indian couple that has been trying to come to school here in Greenville since 2006 got their visa's approved and arrived on Monday of last week. It has been a blessing to have them here and begin to get to know them. Something very interesting, they still have arranged marriages and even within the Christian families. They actually had an arranged marriage and most arranged marriages don't even speak with each other before they get engaged. They spoke once before their marriage and got married 3-4 months later. Most of the times Indian couple also still pay a dowry in order to get married. Meaning pay a price for their bride or groom. When i was in Africa the men paid a dowry for the women but in India its the other way around, the bride pays a dowry for the groom. Isn't it fascinating how different cultures deal with situations that many people face completely differently, like marriages.
