Shouldn't "MatchMaker" Be One of the Jobs of a Church Elder?

Not necessarily 'betrothal-creator' (like in -Fiddler on the Roof- where the matchmaker picks out a girl for the guy and declares "It's a match!"), but more like 'seeing that two kids fit each-other well, adviser to each of them to help them get together.'
I ask because ... well, I'm a 'gentleman' but -not an 'ideal suitor' (oh I'd be an alright husband/father, so long as I don't have to TAKE people anywhere or PAY FOR much more than myself).
And I'm noticing that women I 'plan to wait for' (to marry, as my godfather told me he married my godmother by 'saying "yes" when she asked') are too-often 'swept-off their feet' (and '-away from me') by men who CAN 'take them places & pay for things.'
I plan to ask a favorite Church Elder to guide me in 'securing a match I'm "waiting-for"' (including telling me if she's "viable for marriage").
Good idea?
