As much as we roll our eyes about the "meddling mom" story above, sometimes it takes just that to marry off your kids. A relative was able to marry off his son when he asked his dentist if he knew of a girl for his son. The suggestion was accepted and the couple are happily married for years.

My grandfather set up a grandson with a daughter of a friend who rode with him on the train every day. The couple who were set up have been married for decades.

Another relative kept on asking a young man if he knew someone for her daughter. Time after time, he replied in the negative. Undeterred, the woman persisted, asking the young man whether he had a suggestion each time she met him. A number of months ago, he finally did come up with a young man who is now my relative's son-in-law.

The fact is we can't sit at home waiting for the phone to ring. We've got to take an active part in bringing about an end to the shidduch crisis. And if we are accused of being "meddling relatives" it is a small price to pay if we can be a part of Hashem's plan of bringing together the right matches for our children, friends and relatives.
