Matches Made in Heaven-Meeting on Line

      According to a psychological study, individuals who meet on line have a better chance of a successful marriage than those who meet under other circumstances.  See :http://healthland.time.com/2013/06/03/more-satisfaction-less-divorce-for-people-who-meet-spouses-online/

     With 35 percent of  spouses marrying between 2005 and 2012 initially meeting on line, apparently one can find a partner without even leaving the comforts of home.
Apparently, according to the article, on-line matches were more successful than those beginning at work.  Now, the fact that the study was funded by e-Harmony may have "something" to do with not only the overall results, but the fact that e-Harmony rated high among successful dating sites.

     Of course, the divorce clients I've had who confessed that they met their future ex-spouses on line, always accompanied that comment with eyes rolled upwards.  Now, I'm not knocking on-line dating, but, in spite of poetic prose that may lure one into a new relationship, the bottom line is, in the long run, you have to actually live with the person...not just text and email.   And although my children may have, on occasion, texted me from their rooms when they were too lazy to get up, at least my spouse has not resorted to this method of communication. (Of course, there was no such thing as meeting "on-line" back then so we didn't fall into bad habits).

    Regardless of how you meet a potential new mate, remember this before tying the knot:  get to know the person in person, and consider entering into a prenuptial agreement before you marry. 
Just this week, three people contacted my office inquiring about a prenuptial agreement.  I don't know how these new clients met their future spouses, whether it was on-line, blind date or lifetime friends.  What I do know is, regardless of the initial meeting, they have a better chance for a successful marriage because they communicate!
