[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you both share same race, religion, ethnicity, education, profession, age group, family's social status, culture, background, vision of future etc are you more likely to have a successful marriage? Only issue is only knowing them mostly long distance and for few months before getting engaged and then marrying after few more months because you are turning 31 and didn't have any luck in dating and relationships. What's comforting is that you'll receive premarital counseling at your synagogue and have a detailed prenup. Should you take a leap of faith or keep waiting to meet someone and date for a year or two? This person seems nice, fun, respectful and responsible but could be putting their best foot forward as they are also in same position with dating and want to settle in life.[/quote]

Many Indians use the same metrics for arranging marriage for their offspring. And then the more modern ones let the young candidates meet and see if they mutually agree.
I think it could work as it seems to work for most Indians. Jewish folks do have a similar values focused approach to marriage and frankly having aligned values is most of the battle in carving out a successful union.[/quote]
I was raised Jewish and tried to date other Jews for a while. It just didn't work for me - it felt forced evaluating these people I had just met as marriage material. I've been married for 20 years to someone who shares my values but isn't a Jew.[/quote]
