Solution

The answer to this question can vary depending on the cultural context and individual experiences. However, research has shown that arranged marriages can be as successful as love-choice marriages. In some studies, it has been found that couples in arranged marriages can grow to love each other over time and report similar levels of satisfaction as those in love-choice marriages. Therefore, the statement "Arranged marriages and love-choice marriages are equally successful over time" could be considered true. However, it's important to note that this doesn't mean that every arranged marriage is successful or that every love-choice marriage is unsuccessful.

As for the statement "Arranged marriages don't happen in the U.S.", this is false. While they may not be as common as in other cultures, arranged marriages do occur in the U.S., particularly within certain cultural or religious communities.

The statements "Love-choice marriages typically last longer and report being happier and more in love over time than arranged marriages" and "Arranged marriages typically last longer and report being happier and more in love over time than love-choice marriages" are both generalizations and may not hold true for every individual or couple.

In conclusion, the success of a marriage, whether arranged or love-choice, can depend on a variety of factors including compatibility, communication, shared values, and effort put into the relationship.
