Actually, I think one of the solutions to the Shidduch Crisis is for girls to realize that it is not a crisis and they can live fulfilling, meaningful lives even without marriage. While it is important to do hishtadlus and daven to get married, it is not healthy to live one’s life feeling like I am just waiting to get married, and if I don’t get married, my life has no meaning.
There have always been people who didn’t or couldn’t get married. And if there is any truth to all the numbers and calculations, it is not possible for every girl to get married, so why should she feel her life is meaningless? Also, at a certain point, it is impossible to be “mekayim” the Mitzvah of “pru u’rvu” anyhow, so why get depressed about something impossible?
