You get to know someone tru another person. Its a good thing if it is done maturely and with Gods guidance. I have done it on about 4 occasions, and 3 of them ended up in happy marriages. it gives me so much pleasure to know I have bn an instrument to someone's happiness. I try to be careful tho. I get involved only in d early beginning and hands off except there are very serios misunderstandings. I feel so happy nd fulfilled whenever I see them wt their kids now

Nothing wrong with matchmaking by parents and close friends.
I d rather have them matchmake than a computer, a stranger or a pastor(if he's not a friend)
After all who doesn't have a hidden agenda...........I'd prefer a mothers agenda to that of some pastor looking out for his pocket
Not everyone can stumble on Mr Right in the supermarket or bustop you know, sometimes serendipity needs a little push now and then

chaircover: That is my part time job embarassed. . . always matchmaking people together. mostly it works but sometimes it doesnt. I am in the middle of one at the moment and I am looking forward to tying my skyscraper gele on D-Day smiley
Seriously, if one is sensible about it and no one is not under any pressure or forced, and both parties are mature and ready then there is nothing wrong with it
Madam CC,matchmake me naw!
Mr YPP tenure has expired.
I want fresh blood.
