Nowadays, communication has never been so fast; meeting people has never been so easy. But more and more people are looking for and using some kind of matchmaking service – online or offline. We all see the revival of the millennium-old traditional matchmaking service industry. People looking for matchmaking service are serious love and marriage seekers. They are quite prepared to pay a huge amount of money in exchange for the highest rate of success in the shortest time possible. The Guinness Book of World Records listed Orly Hod (Orly the Matchmaker) – whose fees run up to $100,000 – as the world’s priciest matchmaker. We do not have to look at the statistics before we know more people live longer today than those a century ago; more people get divorced today than those a century ago.

Almost all matchmakers take the view that compatibility is the golden rule. On the contrary, relationships do not depend only on compatibility. There are numerous real cases that some couples disliked each other badly, but were able to stay together for their entire lives, while some other couples loved each other deeply, but were only able to enjoy each other’s company for a very brief period of time. That is why there are so many great love stories like "Romeo and Juliette". If the problematic issues of marriage relationships can aptly be resolved by employing compatibility test, life would relatively be easy. But is there anyone who is open-minded and dares to look into any other alternative means that could really help those desperate marriage seekers? Relationships might not depend on compatibility.
