Does nobody gonna talk about Matrimony ads?

Well people get married after knowing someone for just a month anyways. Some people even find their soulmate in 2 weeks.

You're not finding a friend lol. You are not going to live with your friend. So, compatibility and stuff doesn't matter. With marriage it does. Also the people who find their 'soulmate' in two weeks? Ha ha. I wouldn't call that soulmate lol

If being a decent person was the only criteria for dating

I'm quite sure most people aren't decent

Also no guarantee that the person you're gonna date will become your spouse

You're not buying a product for it to have 'guarantee'. It's a living, breathing person we are talking about here. People can change their minds. Both of you may discover that maybe you are not a good fit for each other like you thought before.

AM if you're married then you have to make it work as marriage has more weight than just a relationship.

In marriage you are also very very screwed if you are not a good fit for each other. And often in a patriarchal society like this, it's often the woman who bears the brunt of whatever happens after a marriage goes wrong. You 'have to make it work' is a very terrible state to live in. Most of our older generation married couples barely show any affection to each other and basically live like room mates. If that seems like a very romantic idea to you, go ahead.
