Yes, it seems like the Church really needs to do more to help people marry, but I suspect in practice it is fraught with complications.

Pastor Steve Schlissel, who sadly passed last month, and his wife Jeanne did actually set up a Christian matchmaking service in New York, modeled after the Jewish practice. I got their Messiah's NYC newsletters back in those days, and they were very hopeful, but I don't know if it really worked out well or not.

I would definitely want to learn as much from others' success and failures as possible, before venturing into that. But might there be some simpler things we could do, like setting up an opt-in directory or something??
