Before Abraham finished his life, we read in Chapter 24 of his concern for his son. He sent his servant to go and find a bride for his son. There are many marriages mentioned in Scripture,but only two marriages that we see clearly as being God-ordained. One was Adam's. Eve was definitely God's choice. The other was Isaac's marriage. Rebekah was God's choice also. If someone asked me if arranged marriages were scriptural, I would have to say “Yes! I believe in marriages arranged by God!” God may arrange it through one's parents (as in Issac's case) or apart from parents (as in Adam's case.) The thing that matters is that it must be arrange by God.
