Don’t get me started on the too few dates issue. I get very upset by the very short time young couples spend in each other’s company before making the life-altering decision to get married and possibly bring children into the world. I think the system needs a huge overhaul, the kids need to get the shidduch stars out of their eyes and cash a reality check, and society at large has to stop pushing our children into early serious lifelong commitments for which they are unprepared and of which they have singularly unrealistic expectations. If it’s a good shidduch after 8 dates, it should be an even better shidduch after 20.
