Yesterday, one of my childhood friends, had called me up and told me that she had been matched by her parents to a guy that she never meet before. Her parents used the matchmaking service to match them. She wanted to know, can this kind of relationship last forever?

It all depends. If in her family they arrange marriages, then yes it can last forever. But if this is new and your friends just wants a date and her parents
want her to marry, and the guy Wants to marry, then I don't see it working.I believe a matchmaker or dating service Can work If and only if both parties are honest about what they want.

Yes, you are right. My that friend had been married with that guy for nearly 2 years now. She seems happy together with that guy, since he is a very understanding person, as what she had described. They even have a lovely son now and makes their life more meaningful. Indeed, matchmaking service do works if only both of them are honest to each other. She was really very lucky to have found her love through this matchmaking service. I am happy for her, too.

Matchmaking in this modern days is very rare. Parents will not interfere in the choices of their children. Matchmaking can work wonders but it will take time for love to grow but nothing beats your choice of heart. The feeling of being in love is beyond description and marrying the person you really love is heaven on earth. I will not rely on others to choose my life partner and let my fate decide the person for me for God has chosen him to partner me for life.

I don't think I am one of those people who would come to the matchmaking service but I know lots of people who made it there. So I am between believing and not-believing this kind of service, because I know the matchmaking service would try to get you a partner just like what you want. But to be honest, sorry if it is being so offensive, I think it is for some people who are so desperate to find love. Though, I believe love is everywhere, include the matchmaking service.

Don't worry, l understand your meaning. Yes, if we are lucky, we can find love everywhere. But, not everyone can have such luck. Sometimes,you had to see how is that person character or personality. When come to this point, matchmaking service is very helpful.

Well, I don't think that it's about the matchmaking service or not. Any kind of match can last forever if the 2 people hit it off and make a commitment to making it last. Thank goodness my parents wouldn't do that to me now! My dad used to think he should choose my future husband for me, but he really sucked at that. Haha. Thankfully they now don't think it's such a huge deal for me to be married or not. Marriage is not the end all be all of life. So, I mean, I hope that helps.

l agreed with your explaination. Matchmaking is just the medium for them to get to know each other. The success of a marriage is depends on both of them. As long they willing to make a commitment, the marriage will last. As the old saying, love is a combination of two hearts became one.
