The Yeshiva World » Shidduch Crisis? Part II » Frum Jewish News: "The “crisis” stems from the fact that we have instituted a gentile system of finding a “marriage partner.”
Our boys and girls are looking for “that special soul mate,” that person with whom they can be “truly fulfiled.”
These are not Jewish concepts. The Talmud says that you should strive to marry a “Bas Talmid ChaCham,” and that you should meet her face-to-face before contracting for marriage, in order to make sure that you are not “rvolted” by her.–that’s it!
If she’s been well brought-up, and has good middos, and she is committed to establishing a home of Torah and Kedusha, you have all the ingredients for a happy and successful Jewish life–and, yes, true love.
Good marriages are not an accident, they are created and built by two good people who have the necessary background and who are committed to the task.
