There is one old adage "Familiarity brings differences". So the more u get familiar with other, differences starts...

In a love marriage, a guy and a girl themselves make a decision and marry (having relationships before marriage as well). In Indian tradition, parents and elders usually decide on marriage. Therefore, if there are any issues with couples, they try to solve them. In the case of a love marriage, most parents and elders do not approve of it. In the future, if there are any problems between couples, they do not pay much attention to it as they believe they chose their partner, so they can solve the problems themselves (although there are exceptions).

I'm not agree with this. It depends on the understanding between the couples. Generally, we say love marriages are not successful as both of them, but if you talk about arranged marriages, you can find the same ratio. Even if it is less, the only reason would be the wife remains quiet in most of the situations or not expressing herself.
What I believe is love marriages are more successful if you give enough time to each other, know each other, and then go ahead with your decision to get married only if you feel this is the right match for you. Also, it should be with the consent of your parents... don't forget them :-)

The problem with love marriage not being successful is that when you are in love, only your positive traits are shown to the other person. The belief that you are such a good person comes to the lover's mind. However, when it comes to marriage, both your positive and negative traits are displayed. Sometimes, the partner finds it difficult to cope with this as their expectations do not match.
Moreover, according to human psychology, if you place a packet and instruct people not to open it, the urge to open it will increase. But if no instructions are given, the packet will remain untouched. Similarly, as long as something is not yours, you will be more interested in it. However, once it becomes solely yours, your interest declines.

First, if any marriage is not successful, it means that's not a love marriage at all. That's called MAPA (Marriage after Physical Attraction). Do love words have different meanings for each relationship? My mom loves me, which is a different kind of love, and a girl loves me with a different meaning. Why is this so? Love is a single word, and the meaning is also the same for each relationship, but we really don't know the meaning of love marriage. You can't put love and breakup words together, like mom and son's love. So, all marriages that are no longer successful are not love marriages at all. That's MAPA. Hence, Proved. How many of you agree with my view?

Dear Abhi I am not agreeing with you. There are a lot other reasons in a marriage to be successful and unsuccessful. Physical attraction is only one of those. understand Snrktm

Well, according to me, any relationship can only be successful between two human beings due to many factors like love, sincerity, devotion, and fairness to each other. All these factors are required for true and strong relationships.
Now we come towards your question: are love marriages more successful or arranged marriages?
Both arranged and love marriages can be successful if there is mutual understanding. We cannot guarantee that arranged marriages will be successful. The problem is not the type of marriage but the main issue is the lack of understanding. After marriage, people feel as if they are in bondage and they feel like they have to abide by all the rules. If we realize marriage as a commitment to our life partner and not as bondage, then we will feel freer to discuss all the differences.
Another issue that I think exists in both arranged and love marriages is the lack of coordination between the two partners. Every human being in this world is different, and even if you want to change yourself according to your partner's will, it will take some time. So, we should have patience and help our mate change those habits, but we should not expect a 100 percent drastic behavioral change.
The biggest problem with love marriage is about the over-expectations. Before marriage, lovers meet for a few hours and then part ways. Obviously, during those few hours, they will have all those loving and romantic chats. But when they get married, everything changes. After marriage, you cannot expect the same person to always be available day and night for romantic chats. After all, life is not only about romance. After marriage, there are many responsibilities for both partners.
The problem with arranged marriage is, again, about expectations. We cannot know the nature of a particular person without knowing them closely. Every boy and girl wants their spouse to be very romantic, understanding, loving, caring, responsible, smart, and intelligent. We cannot have so many expectations from a human being; after all, every human being has their flaws.
So, basically, marriage is a commitment to your partner, and you should have patience for any person to change their behavior. They should first listen carefully to their partners and not have a cynical approach to every statement made by their spouse.
