SEEKING A SPOUSE BY TV PHONE

There was a time in Japan when marriages were arranged between couples who had never laid eyes on each other. Later, it became possible for prospective partners to get a look at each other through photographs.

Now, in the latest development in the world of arranged marriages, it is possible for potential mates to talk by portable TV phone before meeting.

It is customary for clients of conventional marriage-arrangement services to have to wait about a month to see the other party in person, but now if the couple wants to meet each other, they can first, right away, talk by TV phone. Then they can decide whether they want pursue each other.

Men can access profiles of 100 women a month and can talk immediately to anyone of his choice by TV phone. Women can see 200 profiles. With the TV phone system serving as "Cupid", finding the perfect partner just might take less time, according to the Yomiuri newspapers.

At the think tank of some university, scholars showed that a lasting marriage brought as much happiness as US $100,000 a year.

Finding the right partner is truly worthwhile! However, we must look much further than outward appearance.

WHO CAN FIND A VIRTUOUS WIFE?
FOR HER WORTH IS FAR ABOVE RUBIES.
THE HEART OF HER HUSBAND SAFELY TRUSTS HER;
SO HE WILL HAVE NO LACK OF GAIN.
SHE DOES HIM GOOD AND NOT EVIL ALL THE DAYS OF HER LIFE.
Proverbs 31:10

Who can guide us better than God to the right partner?
