Book Cover & Preview Text
We live in an era of information technology with a global perspective on everything we do, including marriage. Some have begun looking for our life partner on the internet. Is it not better if we embark on finding our marriage partner more effectively and more personally? Would it not be better if we allow our parents and other well-wishers to help us? Is there any harm if our parents help us do it better than what we are doing on our own? Is there a pride issue? Who stands to benefit if our parents help us find the right life partner? Is it not wise to be open minded? There is a huge difference between young lovers influenced by physical attraction making decisions and decisions made by parents of these young people. Their decisions will be 180 degrees apart. Shallow love, lust, infatuation are immature, they are short term, they are superficial and not adequate reasons upon which to base the future. Since family is involved, the decisions made are not based on romantic notions. It is based on careful evaluations for the couple's compatibility observed from the sidelines.

About the Book
Ready, willing and eligible girl and boy’s parents “arrange” for an initial meeting. Both the boy and the girl are free to make decisions based on their own personal likes and dislikes. Since there is no dating or courtship involved, decisions are business-like and, hence, there are no emotional feelings that come in the way of tough decisions. It is completely decentralized and fits the 21st century business model.
