New Match.com Survey Finds Love is More Important than Friendship, Work or Financial Security
According to a recent Match.com survey of more than 1,500 single people, one in three said they wished love would come with a guarantee. In fact, when asked which things in life they wished came with a guarantee, love ranked higher than friendship, jobs and financial security.
Surprisingly, the same survey indicated that while many aspire for a guaranteed love, they are not taking advantage of opportunities to meet new people and aren’t optimistic about their chances of finding love. More than 50 percent of those surveyed did not go on a single date in a typical six-month period, and nearly 70 percent said they didn’t believe they would meet the right person for them in the next six months.

It’s been my belief that too many people are putting all stock into the whole “soulmate” idea that they tend to overlook someone who could possibly be a great match.

Looking back to generations before us, marriage wasn’t so much about the romance of today’s standards, but about the partnerships that stick together through thick and thin.
Perhaps I’m wrong, but when singles stop setting their standards at such an unreachable high, love is far more likley to happen.
