I’ve got a solution to the shidduch crisis!! Every couple that gets engaged, as part of the wedding preps must think up and introduce at least one couple. If that doesn’t work out they should move on to the next.
it should be just like, “Have you found an apt yet?” “have you made your shidduch yet?”
this way every new shidduch will set off a whole chain of shidduchim waiting to be introduced. And if the societal pressure will force a couple to do this, noone will try to shirk it.
thoughts please?????????
August 12, 2013 4:36 pm at 4:36 pm #973336Torah613TorahParticipantYou mean that every buyer has to bring another buyer?
This is discussed indirectly in my thread: Bread Theory of the Shidduch Crisis: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/bread-theory-of-the-shidduch-crisis
The problem is that there will still be some buyers or some bread left over, so it doesn’t fix the imbalance. It just makes it look more orderly.

August 12, 2013 6:22 pm at 6:22 pm #973338stanleycParticipantI have a better idea! Lets pass a law that says that everybody has to get married
August 12, 2013 6:46 pm at 6:46 pm #973339the-art-of-moiParticipantinteresting theory, but i think the only way anyone will get married is if God wants them to, so there isreally no point in discussing “the shidduch crisis”. all it accomplishes is getting all single people out there even more stressed out than they are.
August 12, 2013 7:08 pm at 7:08 pm #973340jewishfeminist02MemberCute! We had a “singles table” at our wedding reception, but unfortunately nothing materialized from it. However, I am applying to be a shadchan on SawYouatSinai.

This theory only makes sense if half of all people aren’t finding their bashert. Then, each couple can bring in the 50% who aren’t married yet. Of course, one could argue that the people being brought in would have been part of the original 50% that anyway would have found their zivug!!! Either way, I don’t see this catching on.

September 9, 2013 12:04 am at 12:04 am #973344live rightMemberfor some reason I don’t think girls would appreciate that. there is enough competition amongst the women thank you very much. we don’t need to add “tzarah b’bayis” to the list.
