"Debunking the Myth: Online Dating & Matrimonial Services Are Not Just For the Desparates."
One matrimonial industry myth that can be debunked is the notion that online dating and matchmaking services are primarily used by desperate or socially inept individuals who are unable to find love in traditional ways. This myth perpetuates the idea that online platforms are a last resort for people who are unable to form meaningful relationships offline.

In reality, online dating and matrimonial services have become increasingly popular and widely accepted in recent years. Many people, regardless of their social skills or attractiveness, use these platforms as a convenient and efficient way to meet potential partners. The digital age has brought about significant changes in how people connect and form relationships, and online platforms provide a broader pool of potential partners and the ability to connect with individuals who share similar interests and values.


Research has shown that online dating can be just as successful, if not more so, than traditional methods of meeting people. A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that couples who met online had higher marital satisfaction and lower divorce rates compared to those who met offline.

Furthermore, online dating allows individuals to take more control over the dating process. It offers the opportunity to present oneself authentically, learn more about a potential partner before meeting in person, and establish connections based on shared interests and compatibility.

While it is true that not every online interaction leads to a long-term relationship, the same can be said for traditional dating methods. The effectiveness of any dating approach depends on individual circumstances, preferences, and effort put into the process.

In conclusion, the myth that online dating and matrimonial services are solely for desperate or socially inept individuals is unfounded. These platforms have become a popular and legitimate way for people to meet potential partners, offering a convenient and effective alternative to traditional methods of dating.

Arranged marriages are still a common practice in many cultures around the world. While it can be daunting to meet someone for the first time with the intention of getting married, it is important to ask the right questions to get to know the person and see if they are a good match for you. Here are some questions you can ask a boy on your first meeting for an arranged marriage: What is your idea of marriage? This is a broad question that can help you get a sense of his overall values and priorities. What does he see as the purpose of marriage? What are his expectations for a successful marriage? What are your long-term goals? This question can help you assess whether your goals are compatible. For example, if he wants to have a large family and you don't, that could be a major point of contention. What are your hobbies and interests? This question can help you find common ground and see if you have similar interests. It can also be a good way to gauge his personality and lif...

Should your spouse be your best friend?

He’s like my best friend.” “She’s the best friend in my life.” He’s like my best friend.” “She’s the best friend in my life.” These are common statements and beliefs about a relationship with our spouse.That they must be our friend, no, best friend — as well as all the other roles a spouse plays in marriage.While I don’t discount that there should be friendship between husband and wife,  having him or her as your best friend will be the death-nail to the marriage. To clarify, I’m referring to best friend here as a primary and/or sole outlet of your relational needs. When you first met your spouse,  ideally  you were both living lives that were fulfilling and interesting (note the emphasis on “ideally”— if you and/or your spouse didn't have a lot going on when you first met, the relationship was already in really big trouble). One reason your spouse was attractive was the life they were living apart from you. The lives you were living before you met we...

The Biggest Communication Problem In Any Relationship

George Bernard Shaw once said, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” Picture this: someone is speaking to you, expressing their thoughts carefully for you to understand. You wait for the breaks in the conversation when you think they’ve finished talking, and then you interrupt with your own piece of information or repeat what was just said. “Oh, I know just how you feel,” you say, or “I had the same thing happen to me. Let me tell you about it!” You fail to listen. You create your own ideas. You miss the message and the opportunity to understand. It’s about your agenda, not theirs. Have you ever experienced this?  Often, you think you’ve understood what was said, but the reality is that you spent the whole time formulating a reply and forgot to actually listen. Arguably, listening is the most difficult skill in communication, and we’re getting worse at it. What We Listen Vs. What We Understand There is a lag time between listening ...
