Modern Marriage

It used to be said that marriages were made in heaven. Nowadays it would appear that it is not the angels who decide who shall marry who but the computer.Apparently a girl seeking a husband no longer follows Jane Austen's advice and looks for a young man with a good income who is in need of a wife.  Instead she feeds the details into a computer of what she has to offer as a wife and what she requires of a husband in return.  Some wizard at Microsoft or wherever presses a few buttons and Hey Presto! out come the details of exactly the right man with all the attributes she specified.  If she is really picky she can have another go.
In former days consanquinity was the most likely way to find a marriage partner.  In an earlier post I said I had found that one either married a neighbour, a school fellow, a work colleague or someone  met at church or a social gathering such as a dance or tennis club.. I wonder how much more successful are marriages arranged by a computer.  In my opinion any marriage needs a great deal of tolerance, give and take and a shared sense of humour to succeed.
