What has he (G-d) been doing since he created the Earth?-asked the matron.

"He has been arranging the marriages"-said Rabbi Yossi

The Roman matron asked Rabbi Yossi ben Halafta:

“How many days did it take G-d to create the world?” He answered: “It took him 6 days, and that is what written in Shmot 31:17: “During 6 days G-d created sky and earth…»

And what has he been doing since then?-asked the matron.

He has been arranging the marriages. This man will be a husband for that women etc- said Rabbi Yossi

But I can also do that!- said matron. – I have lots of female and male slaves. I can easily make up couples from them.

Rabbi Yosef said: You think that arranging marriages is very easy? But for the G-d it is just as hard as to split Red Sea.

After Yosef left, the matron called 2000 of her slaves, ont thousand of female slaves were standing in front on thousand male slaves. Then she said: This man will be a husband of that woman, that woman will be a wife of that man and so on. The marriages were made the same night.

But the next morning just married couples came to matron, one man had a wound on his head, another one didn’t have an eye, a woman had a broken leg. They started to shout: I don't want that woman! I can't live with that man!'

The matron asked to call Rabbi Yossi and when he came, she said: Your Tora is right, and what you told me is true .

Rabbi Yossi answered: Now you see! You thought hat arranging marriages is an easy task. And it turned out to be harder then splitting the Red Sea. Pesikta da-Rav Kahana 2:4

Matching people is not an easy task at all. We are all different and of course every person has special views and likes. It is impossible to find somebody who will match you 100%, but you should not worry about that! What is important is to find somebody who will be willing to compromise and solve the problems together.

Many people think it is impossible to create a good family with somebody who is not from your own culture. Our experience has proved that most of Russian women actually have the life values that men wished American women had: they are loyal, sincere, family oriented (doesn't mean that she only wants to stay at home, but the first priority is always family, many people think that in Russian culture women are housewives, and all they can do is to take care of house and kids, in fact most of the girls have jobs, but they would not put in in front of family interests). Russian women pay lots of attention to their outlook.

All those qualities surely make it easier for a man to find a great match. We believe that matching people is a serious process and it has to be fully supervised by professionals. We wish you good luck in finding your match!
