Amish Secrets for Keeping Bank Accounts Fat and Happy

Marriage Is a Choice

No, the Amish don’t have arranged marriages—thank goodness! Just like everyone else, they fall in love and marry whomever they choose. The Amish dating process is actually pretty similar to modern-day life, with one major exception: once they turn 18, they get to decide if they want to join the church.

If they do, they can marry anyone they want—within the church, that is. So while they can pick their spouse, Amish folks can’t marry someone “English,” even if they have the biggest crush on them. Love is in the air, but there are still some rules to keep the Amish community intact.
