I think these cases spoken about are few and far in between. Any parent will tell u ow they only want the best for their child. Dont forget that your parents also got married, and they are married for at least 18yrs. shouldnt that give them enough experience to know what to look for in a marriage partner for their beloved children.
lesschumras, 18 year olds have minds of 18yr olds, that means their experience is schoool, maybe a job, maybe ocassional babysitting, and their imagination cannot stretch far enough to know exactly what they need in terms of a successful marriage. Parents, with their loads of experience, love, and years behind them can properly undersatnd what a spouse should be. I think this is so logical.
