When you take a radical decision for example to marry someone, you should arbitrate your mind not your heart.
Is it correct? or there is a better way to say this sentence. Especially words: (radical and arbitrate) I am not sure if it is possible to use them like that because I just use them like my mother language.
Thanks a lot.

Is it correct? or there is a better way to say this sentence.
When you make a consequential decision, for example, to marry someone, you should scrutinize your mind, not your heart.

My notes:
Arbitrate in my opinion sounds very professional, not something relating to emotional matters. Arbitrate is “make a decision”. I would use that in regards to a work matter, for instance, “We couldn’t decide with the team, and I had to arbitrate the decision in lieu of disagreement”
Radical is more along the lines of “wild” which usually when marrying someone isn’t exactly radical. An example of radical would be “He packed his stuff and made the radical decision to move to China”
I decided consequential and scrutinize worked well. Consequential means significant. An alternative would be long-lasting (lasting a long time), or impactful (has an effect on your life). It just depends on what exactly you’re trying to convey.
Scrutinize means to observe closely. You could use something like consult which is more checking with or asking. If you want to be real emotional, “trust in”, “confide in” are all good ones.

When you make a far-reaching decision, for example, to get married, you should use your mind rather than your heart.
